Electrolysis has been performed for over 125 years and has been proven to be a safe and permanent hair removal treatment. Like many procedures, it may have a short healing phase. During this time, there may be some transient redness or swelling and occasionally some pinpoint scabbing. Please follow after-care instructions.
​
All new clients need to schedule a consultation to discuss your treatment plan (15 min consultation, followed by 15 min electrolysis session | $40).
HOW
Electrologist inserts a small metal probe into the hair follicle alongside the hair, A small amount of electrical current is then delivered to the probe by a sensitive electronic device called an epilator. Depending on the technique used, the electric current destroys the hair root either by heat or chemical action and in some methods by both at the same time.
.
Whether there is any discomfort during electrolysis is quite variable depending on a patient's tolerance, machine setting, modality used, as well as other factors. During most treatments a definite sensation should be noticed. It has been variously described as a "slight heat", "tingling or stinging" sensation.
Electrolysis requires a series of treatments given over period of time. The length varies from person to person and is dependent on many factors.
The density and coarseness of the hair, area of treatment, how well your skin tolerate the treatment and consistency of the treatment plan affect the overall success of the procedure.
​
The cause of unwanted hair and the temporary methods of dealing with the hair in the past are also involved in the treatment time. Many hairs will be permanently removed after the first treatment while some will require additional treatments to achieve permanency. Procedures will be more frequent in the beginning and less frequent later on.
The overall results, permanent, hair-free skin, are usually well worth the time spent.
