Electrolysis:

E-ELEC-TROL-Y-SIS (N)

The permanent removal of hair roots or small blemishes on the skin by the application of heat using an electric current.

Understanding Electrolysis Hair Removal

Say goodbye to the hassle of constant shaving, waxing, and plucking. Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal approved by both the FDA and AMA. Developed in 1875 by Dr. Charles Michel, an ophthalmologist, electrolysis was originally used to treat ingrown eyelashes.

Unlike temporary methods that irritate the skin and cost continuous time and money, electrolysis destroys each hair follicle’s ability to regrow by sending a tiny amount of current to the root. It works on all hair types and colors, making it more inclusive than laser.

Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to treat each hair in its active growth phase. The number of sessions varies based on factors like hormones, genetics, amount of hair, and past hair removal methods.

After a consultation, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you achieve permanent, hair-free skin.

Is it the same as laser hair removal?

Nope, it’s not the same. There are a few differences you need to know:

Electrolysis

✔ FDA-approved as a permanent hair removal technique

✔ Works on all hair colors and all skin tones

✔ Treats one hair at a time using a tiny amount of electricity and/or heat

✔ Great for small areas and stubborn hairs

Laser Hair Removal

✔ FDA-approved as a hair reduction technique

✔ Works best on dark hair and light skin

✔ Slows the growth and weakens hair follicles

✔ Works great on large areas like limbs and torso

Many people choose laser first for large areas, then finish with electrolysis to get the best results in a timely manner.

A Permanent Solution That Works for Everyone

Electrolysis for Women

Many women rely on temporary methods like shaving or waxing to manage unwanted hair, but electrolysis offers a permanent solution. Common treatment areas include the eyebrows, upper lip, chin, underarms, and more sensitive spots like the bikini line or chest..

Electrolysis for Darker Skin Tones

Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis is safe and effective for all skin tones. It treats hair at the root and doesn’t require a contrast between skin and hair color, making it a reliable option for clients with darker hair and skin.

Electrolysis for Transgender Clients

Electrolysis is an important part of gender-affirming journeys, providing permanent hair removal for areas where smooth, hair-free skin is desired, whether for surgery preparation or facial hair removal during transition. It offers a safe, effective solution that works on all skin tones and hair types. Every treatment is delivered with the utmost care, respect, and privacy to ensure you feel seen, supported, and confident every step of the way.

Electrolysis for Men

Electrolysis is ideal for men dealing with excessive or hard-to-reach hair. Popular areas include the shoulders, neck, ears, cheeks, and eyebrows, making grooming easier and permanent.

Electrolysis for Coarse, Curly, or Wavy Hair

Electrolysis works well on coarse, curly, or wavy hair types. Since it targets the follicle directly and doesn’t rely on pigment, it’s effective for all hair textures and colors.

Electrolysis for Hormonal Hair Growth & PCOS

Hormonal shifts during puberty, pregnancy, menopause, or conditions like PCOS can trigger excess hair growth. Electrolysis offers a permanent, medically recognized solution to restore confidence and comfort.

Electrolysis for Athletes

Athletes often benefit from hair removal for hygiene, reduced friction, or improved performance. Electrolysis provides a permanent solution—no more constant maintenance or irritation.
