ELECTROLYSIS Q & A
What is electrolysis?
Why should I choose electrolysis over other temporary methods like laser and waxing?
Why should I choose electrolysis over other temporary methods like laser and waxing?
Electrology is the science of permanent hair removal. Using state-of-the-art technology, a small amount of electricity is gently applied through a flexible, hair-sized probe inserted into the existing pore at the base of the hair. The probe is attached to a probe holder, which is connected to a computerized electrolysis machine.
The machine sends a precisely measured amount of electric current to the hair root, effectively disabling it by cauterizing its source of life. The hair is then gently removed with tweezers.
Your safety is our top priority. We use only disposable and insulated needles to prevent hyperpigmentation, especially on darker skin tones. This ensures optimal comfort, hygiene, and high standards for everyone.

Electrolysis is the only true permanent hair removal method and the only treatment recognized as permanent by the FDA.
Unlike other hair removal options, professionally performed electrolysis eliminates unwanted hair permanently, delivering unsurpassed results. Unlike laser treatments, electrolysis successfully targets all skin types and hair colors. Black, gray, red, blond, coarse or fine.
Temporary methods like waxing, threading, tweezing, or shaving may lead to ingrown hairs and discoloration, and they require a lifetime of maintenance. While these methods might seem inexpensive initially, they can be more costly over time and are often inconvenient.
Electrolysis works on all areas of the body, so long we have access to the root of the hairs it can be effectible removed. Leaving you with smooth, healthy-looking skin. No other solution offers such universal success and acceptability.

Everyone is different, so the number of treatments needed varies with each client. Treatment sessions can range from 15 minutes to over an hour, depending on the area being treated.
Factors such as hair growth cycles, the quantity and structure of the hair, prior use of temporary hair removal methods, heredity, hormone function, certain medications, and stress all influence the treatment plan for each individual. It is essential to follow the recommended treatment plan to achieve optimal results.
Hair grows in cycles, and electrolysis can permanently destroy hairs only when they are in the "active growth" stage (Anagen). During this stage, the hair is connected to the blood and oxygen supply it needs to grow. Once this connection is damaged, a new hair cannot grow. Hairs can still be removed in other growth stages, but a new hair will continue to grow until it is treated during the active growth phase (Anagen).

The cost of electrolysis depends on several factors, including how much hair needs to be removed, the size of the area being treated, and the location where you receive your services.
For the best results, it's important to follow your electrologist's recommendations when scheduling appointments. Areas that have been waxed or tweezed will require more frequent treatments compared to areas that have been shaved. It's best to schedule a free consultation to get personalized advice.
What does electrolysis feel like? Is it painful?
Hair can be removed from almost any part of the body:

Electrolysis treatments can sting, but individual pain tolerance varies greatly. The permanent results are worth the temporary discomfort. Even the most sensitive individuals should be able to tolerate the treatments.
The sensation is quick and passes almost instantly—similar to the feeling of tweezing, with some hairs causing more discomfort than others. Some describe it as a tingling sensation. In certain cases, a topical anesthetic cream can be used to minimize discomfort.
Some people can handle sessions lasting 3 to 4 hours without any numbing cream, while others may prefer shorter sessions of 15 minutes. Everyone is different, but most agree that the brief discomfort is well worth the permanent results.

Hairline, eyebrows, top of the nose, cheeks, sideburns, upper and lower lip, chin, throat, neck, shoulders, back, chest, breasts, abdomen, arms, legs, bikini line, hands, feet, ears, toes, and fingers—electrolysis can safely and permanently remove unwanted hair from all of these areas.
Electrolysis is a safe, permanent hair removal procedure recommended as a series of treatments. It effectively eliminates unwanted hair while enhancing both physical appearance and self-confidence.
Your safety is our top priority. We use only clean, disposable, and most importantly, insulated needles to prevent hyperpigmentation, especially on darker skin tones. This ensures optimal comfort, hygiene, and the highest standards for everyone.
Does electrolysis have any side effects on the skin?

Can you have electrolysis treatments during pregnancy?
Immediately following treatment, slight redness may occur, which varies from person to person. Thanks to the latest technology, electrolysis is now more comfortable and effective than ever before. Your electrologist will provide you with detailed post-treatment instructions and the personal attention you deserve, ensuring you receive the best care from a skilled hair removal professional.

Unwanted hair can be caused by hormonal changes due to pregnancy and various other factors. Electrolysis can be performed on any normal, healthy skin, including that of pregnant women. However, we recommend consulting your physician before beginning treatment. Please note that only thermolysis should be used, not the blend method.

All three original modalities used in electrolysis treatments have evolved. The galvanic modality (true electrolysis) still chemically decomposes hair follicle cells, thermolysis (high frequency or shortwave) continues to destroy hair-growing cells with heat, and the blend (or sequential) method still combines galvanic and high-frequency techniques to disable the hair follicle. And yes, it remains effective on all skin tones and hair colors.
Procedure for Permanently Disabling Hair Follicles at the Root via Electrolysis
Step 1: A flexible, hair-sized needle attached to a needle holder is inserted into the existing pore at the base of the hair.
Step 2: A state-of-the-art computerized electrolysis machine delivers a measured amount of electric current to the hair root, disabling it by cauterizing the source of the hair's life (the blue and red veins at the root of each hair).
Step 3: The hair is then gently removed with tweezers
