Question 1

What is electrolysis?

Accepted Answer

Electrolysis is the science of permanent hair removal. A minute amount of energy is gently applied to the base of the hair follicle, permanently destroying the growth cells. It is currently the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal.

Question 2

Why should I choose electrolysis over other methods?

Accepted Answer

Electrolysis is the only true permanent hair removal method recognized by the FDA. Unlike laser, which is often classified as 'hair reduction' and targets pigment, electrolysis works on all hair colors and skin types permanently.

Question 3

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Sensations vary by individual, but most describe it as a quick heat or stinging feeling. Modern computerized epilators have made treatments significantly more comfortable and faster than in the past.

Question 4

How many treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions varies based on hair growth cycles, quantity, and individual factors like heredity or hormones. A personalized plan will be designed during your consultation.

Question 5

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We strictly follow the American Electrology Association's Infection Control Standards, adhering to CDC and OSHA recommendations. Sterile, disposable probes are used for every treatment.

Question 6

What areas can be treated?

Accepted Answer

Virtually any area of the body can be treated, including the eyebrows, chin, upper & lower lip, jawline, underarms, breasts, abdomen, bikini line, legs, and back.

Question 7

How does electrolysis compare to laser?

Accepted Answer

Laser is effective for hair reduction on large areas but is generally not permanent. Electrolysis targets individual follicles and is 100% permanent for all hair colors and all skin tones.

Question 8

Are there side effects?

Accepted Answer

Immediately following treatment, you may experience slight redness or swelling, which typically subsides quickly. We provide detailed post-treatment care instructions.

Question 9

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs are determined by the length of the session, which depends on the amount of hair and the size of the area. We offer a free consultation to discuss pricing options.

Question 10

What modalities do you use?

Accepted Answer

We utilize all three modern modalities: Galvanic (chemical decomposition), Thermolysis (heat), and the Blend method (dual action). We select the optimal method for your specific needs.
