Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal approved by the FDA. It guarantees hair removal for life. It is effective on all skin types. I will insert a pre-packaged, sterile probe into the opening of the hair follicle, administer an electric current, and then remove the hair.

Electrolysis is gradual but permanent hair removal. It takes a series of treatments to achieve permanent hair removal so consistency and patience are key. We will work together to develop a treatment plan catered to your lifestyle. Complete clearance can take 1-2 years or more, depending on your case.

I describe it as a momentary heat sensation or pinch. This varies by person as some may have a higher pain tolerance than others. Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others. Some clients take acetaminophen or Tylenol before treatment to help ease discomfort. You are also able to apply a topical numbing cream 30 to 45 minutes before your treatment.

Also, remember to always arrive at your appointments hydrated as this will allow for easier removal of the hair.

When electrolysis is done by a skilled, certified electrologist, there is no scarring. Small scabs after treatment are extremely common, but these will disappear by your next treatment. It is very important to not pick at the scabs. Let the body heal on its own and they will fall off naturally.
