Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method that uses an electric current or heat to destroy the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth. It is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal and works on all hair colors and skin types.

  • A consultation is the first step in starting your electrolysis journey. During the consultation, your electrologist will assess your hair type, skin type, and the area you want to treat. You'll also discuss your hair removal goals and any concerns you may have. The consultation includes a test treatment to see how your skin reacts, and this service is also free.

  • During an electrolysis session, a thin probe is inserted into the hair follicle, and a tiny current is applied. This current destroys the follicle's ability to produce hair, resulting in permanent removal. Over time, repeated sessions will treat all hairs in the target area. Leaving you hairless.

  • Electrolysis can be performed on nearly any area of the body, including the face, arms, legs, underarms, and bikini line. It is also suitable for sensitive areas like the upper lip, eyebrows, and chin. The only places that can not be treated are the inside of the nose and inside of the ears. We have to be able to see the hair coming out of your skin in order to treat it.

  • While electrolysis can cause some discomfort, it is generally tolerable for most people. The sensation varies depending on your pain tolerance and the area being treated. Most describe the feeling as a slight stinging or tingling sensation. Numbing creams are available to minimize discomfort.

  • The number of sessions depends on the area being treated, hair density, and individual hair growth cycles. Electrolysis requires multiple sessions because hair grows in different phases. Most people need several treatments to achieve permanent results. Previous hair removal methods will impact treatment time.

  • We recommend shaving between electrolysis sessions if necessary, but avoid plucking or waxing. Plucking and waxing remove the hair from the follicle, making it difficult for the electrologist to treat the area. Shaving, on the other hand, leaves the follicle intact, allowing effective treatment.

  • Temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, or minor skin irritation are common immediately after treatment. These typically resolve within a few hours, if you have sensitive skin it might be a couple of days. Following our aftercare instructions will minimize any adverse reactions.
