FAQ
-
How much does it cost?My consultation is free. It takes about 15 to 30 minutes to take a medical history to identify health conditions that would prevent success with electrolysis. My fee is $40.00 for 15 minutes
-
Does electrolysis hurt?The level of discomfort varies between individuals, but most clients report feeling a mild warmth or a slight pinching sensation during treatment. Modern electrolysis machines offer adjustable settings to ensure maximum comfort based on your sensitivity level. While some areas might feel more sensitive than others, the sensation is brief and well-tolerated. Many clients find that the benefits of permanent hair removal far outweigh any temporary discomfort.
-
Is electrolysis safe for all skin and hair types?Yes, electrolysis is suitable for all skin tones and hair types, making it a highly versatile hair removal solution. Unlike laser hair removal, which may struggle with lighter hair or darker skin tones, electrolysis effectively targets hair follicles regardless of color or texture. This inclusivity makes it the only permanent hair removal method that works universally. Safety and effectiveness remain consistent across all skin and hair types.
-
How long does each session take?The duration of an electrolysis session depends on the size of the treatment area. Smaller areas, like the upper lip or eyebrows, can take as little as 15 minutes, while larger areas, such as legs or arms, may require an hour or more. Sessions are according to your needs so that the time spent is both efficient and effective. A consultation can provide a more accurate estimate based on your chosen treatment area.
-
Are the results really permanent?Yes, electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. Once a hair follicle is treated with electrolysis, it is effectively destroyed and cannot regrow hair. This distinguishes it from other hair removal methods, such as waxing or laser treatments, which only offer temporary or semi-permanent results. When completed across the necessary number of sessions, electrolysis provides truly lasting freedom from unwanted hair.
-
What areas can be treated?Electrolysis can safely and effectively remove unwanted hair from almost any part of the body. Common treatment areas include the face, arms, underarms, legs, bikini line, back, and chest. Smaller areas like the eyebrows or upper lip can also be treated with precision. The versatility of electrolysis allows it to address hair removal needs for both men and women across a wide range of body areas. Contact us for more details.
-
Are there any side effects?After an electrolysis session, it’s normal to experience minor side effects such as slight redness, tenderness, or mild swelling around the treated area. These effects typically subside within a few hours. To minimize any discomfort or skin irritation, we follow strict hygiene protocols and provide aftercare instructions according to your skin type. Overall, the procedure is safe and well-tolerated by most clients.
-
How do I prepare for an electrolysis session?To prepare for electrolysis, avoid plucking, tweezing, or waxing hair in the treatment area for at least 2-3 weeks prior to your session. These methods can disrupt the hair follicle, which can make treatment less effective. Shaving, however, is fine and doesn’t affect the follicle. During your consultation, your electrologist will provide personalized advice to ensure you are fully prepared for a successful session.
-
Are consultations free of charge?Yes, we provide free consultations to help you understand the process and address all your questions before starting treatment. During this session, we evaluate your hair removal needs, discuss treatment plans, and explain what to expect during and after the procedure. This gives you a clear idea of how electrolysis can work for you. We keep you informed and confident about moving forward with your personalized treatment.
