Electrolysis
For those with light, grey, white or peach fuzz hair that cannot benefit from laser hair removal, electrolysis is the solution. Most areas of the face and body can be treated and hair will stop growing after a series of treatments. Full body waxing is also offered as a temporary hair removal solution.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is achieved by sliding and positioning a fine needle into the natural opening of the hair follicle, a minute electrical current is emitted causing the destruction of the hair production area, usually referred to as the “target area”. The loosened hair is then removed with tweezers. Electrolysis is permanent hair removal. Regardless of the cause – heredity, metabolic, or hormonal conditions – electrolysis permanently removes unwanted hair to reveal a glowing, confident you. Electrolysis is the only method approved by the FDA for permanent removal of unwanted hair.
Over several treatments, you may notice the hair will grow finer and thinner. This is the first sign the electrolysis treatments are working effectively to kill hair. Electrolysis is suitable when laser hair removal is not effective; especially on very fine hair, blonde, red, and gray hair.
Electrolysis is safe and effective for all skin types and all hair types. Electrolysis is recommended to remove unwanted hair if you struggle with PCOS.
Does electrolysis have any side effects on the skin?
Immediately following treatment, there may be a temporary redness or tenderness, which varies with each individual. The latest technology has made electrolysis more comfortable and effective than ever before. Your electrologist will provide you with post treatment instructions and any personal attention you may need. You are assured of the highest level of care from a skilled hair removal professional.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE ELECTROLYSIS TREATMENTS?
Electrolysis clients might schedule 15 minutes for just a couple of annoying hairs on their chin or an hour or longer to treat larger areas like heavy facial growth or body parts.
The frequency and length of your appointments depends on the size of the area being cleared and the progress of your treatment. In general, treatments on a particular area are longest and most frequent at the beginning. Treatment length and frequency then tapers off as fewer and fewer hairs remain to be treated.
For best results, follow the electrologist recommendations in scheduling appointments.
