What is electrolysis hair removal?
Electrolysis is a hair removal method that uses a small sterile probe into each hair follicle opening down to the dermal papilla. The dermal papilla is the part of the follicle where the hair is nourished and grows. When the probe is in place, a low-level electrical current is applied to destroy the papilla and surrounding cells. The loosened hair is then removed with tweezers. This prevents hair from growing back, offering a long-term solution for unwanted hair on any part of the body.

​

Is electrolysis hair removal safe?
Yes, electrolysis is a safe and FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal with a trained professional using an FDA-approved machine. It has been used for over a century and is suitable for all skin types and hair colors. As a trained and certified electrologist, I can ensure your safety and the effectiveness of treatments.

​

How many sessions are required for electrolysis to be effective?
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the individual's hair growth cycle, the area being treated, and the density of the hair. I will provide a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and give specific instructions on what your part of the process is as well as mine.

Does electrolysis hair removal hurt?
Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but most people experience a mild to moderate stinging sensation during the treatment. Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others. Topical numbing creams can be applied to minimize discomfort, and I can adjust the settings to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible. All questions and instruction will be discussed during the consultation prior to any treatment.
