The Only Permanent Solution

Your Premier Provider Since 2008

Live Free with Electrolysis

Electrolysis is the only method of 100% Permanent Hair Removal approved by the FDA. It has been safely performed for almost 150 years.

Electrolysis is equally effective on all hair colors. The treatment targets the hair follicle directly therefore its effects are not dependant on the color of the hair.  

Eyebrow and Hair Line Shaping

The most common area women have treated are the upper-lip, chin and bikini. The most common area men have treated are the ears and mid-brow. Electrolysis can also treat sensitive areas like the nostrils and brazilian.

 Educating yourself about Electrolysis allows you to make an informed decision on whether the process is a right fit for you. There is no obligation to continue with treatments.

How does Electrolysis work?

Electrolysis works by destroying the source of nourishment that causes your hair to grow. Using a light source with magnification, a filament is inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle. Once in place, a slight current will be released using a foot pedal. This current will travel from the epilator, and through the probe into your follicle. This will slow/destroy the growth cells of the hair. After the hair is treated, it is gently removed with forceps.


When performed correctly and the treatment plan followed, Electrolysis works on everyone regardless of hair texture, hormonal imbalances, medications or any other external factors. 

When Will I Notice Results?

Electrolysis is a gradual process that requires repeated treatments. The hairs will first get thinner, finer and weaker and the growth will slow down before going away permanently. You will notice a true reduction of growth after 6 months of following your recommended treatment plan.

Stages of Permanent Hair Removal

Clearance Stage

The clearance stage is the most important part of your Electrolysis treatments. This is the stage where we are getting the growth under control. It will take 8-13 weeks to complete one clearance. It will take 8-13 weeks for any hair that has shed naturally or you have removed using a temporary hair removal method to grow to the surface of the skin and become visible. 


After 13 weeks most of the hair will begin growing back but with a weaker and finer root. We will repeat the process as needed. The larger the area and the coarser/more distorted the hair, the more treatments it will require. Each hair can only be treated once every 8-13 weeks due to the hair cycles. 


If you delay your treatments, or miss too many appointments, it will take longer to complete the clearance stage.

Reduction Stage

At this stage approximately 25% of your hair will be permanently removed. You will notice reduction and slowing of your hair growth. Coarse hairs are now growing in finer. You are not seeing a shadow or feeling sharp hairs at your fingertips. Appointments will become shorter and less frequent.  If you delay your treatments, or miss too many appointments, it will take longer to complete the reduction stage.

Maintenance Stage

At this stage at least 50% of your hair will be permanently removed. Remaining hairs will be very thin, growth will have slowed significantly. Appointments will be even shorter and even less frequent.  If you delay your treatments or miss too many appointments, it will take longer to complete the maintenance stage.

Permanent Stage

You will reach 100% permanent results but the timeline for complete permanency will be dependant on many factors (learn more below). If you follow the recommended treatment plan outlined by your electrologist and are diligent in keeping on top of active regrowth, you should reach permanent results around the 2 year mark. It is always best to pre-book your appointments as our wait time is 4-6 weeks, therefore last minute bookings may not be possible. If you delay your treatments, or miss too many appointments, it will take longer to reach permanent results. 

Permanent Timeframe Dependant On

Clearance Rate

The larger the area, the longer it will take us to clear. Small areas like upper lips often only require 15 minute sessions. Large areas like the bikini may require 30 minutes to an hour. The faster we are able to clear an area and keep on top of any active existing growth or regrowth, the faster we will get permanent results. This means less appointments total and faster permanent results. 

Hair Cycles

You have multiple hair cycles that do not grow at the same time, therefore not all your hair is visible at the same time.  It will take 8-13 weeks for any hair that has shed or been removed by the root to grow to the surface of the skin. 

Stage of Hair

Each hair is going through its own stage of growing, resting and shedding. Any hair that has been removed by the root (tweezing/waxing) or a hair that has shed on its own, will take 8-13 weeks to reproduce. Any hair returning before 8 weeks is a different hair growing in a different cycle.


Although Electrolysis is effective in all growing stages, you will achieve results more quickly and require less appointments total if you treat the hair in it's growing (anagen) stage. 

Distorted Follicles

Naturally distorted follicles occur on the underarms and bikini line. Distorted follicles are also found in people with naturally curly or wavy hair. Hairs can also become distorted when they are forcefully removed by the root. Distorted hairs will often become unmanageable and will grow in odd directions. They can also form ingrown hairs as they get trapped underneath the skin. These hairs do not have a straight follicle, so the probe cannot destroy the root with one treatment.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

 Electrolysis appointments are scheduled around the hair growth cycles and exact number of treatments cannot be predicted due to many factors. We cannot predict the speed of each individuals hair growth, what stage the hair is in or exactly how many hairs you have because they are not all visible at the same time. Each person will require a different treatment plan based on their personal needs and hair removal history. 


Following the  treatment schedule allows us to treat the hair in the growing stage, ensuring you are getting results in the fewest appointments possible. Because the hair growth cycle is 8-13 weeks - delaying your appointments only results in more appointments than necessary to reach permanent results. Ultimately it is up to you how often you come in and the duration of appointment depending on your time, tolerance and budget.

Temporary methods and their effects on the hair

Electrolysis Hair Removal for the Underarms. Say goodbye to shaving.

Shaving & Cutting

Shaving does not affect the hair under the surface of the skin. It will not make the hair coarser. It only appears this way because there is no tapered end when the hair grows back due to the blunt cut from shaving or cutting. You can still shave/cut during the Electrolysis process but please allow 3 days growth or longer before your appointment.

Say goodbye to tweezing and waxing and try a permanent hair removal solution, Electrolysis.

Tweezing/Threading

 Tweezing will stimulate the hair growth cells causing the hair to grow back darker, coarser and stronger than before. It will also distort the hair follicle, causing the hair to grow back in odd directions.  

 

For electrolysis to be effective, you cannot tweeze once you have started treatments. Not only will it take 8-13 weeks for that follicle to produce another hair, it will stimulate the hair cells further, most likely hindering any previous results. 

Say goodbye to waxing and say hello to a permanent hair removal method, Electrolysis.

Waxing/Sugaring

Waxing will stimulate the hair growth cells causing the hair to grow back darker, coarser and stronger than before. It will also distort the hair follicle, causing the hair to grow back in odd directions. 


For electrolysis to be effective, you cannot wax once you have started treatments. Not only will it take 8-13 weeks for the follicles to produce another hair, it will stimulate the hair cells further, most likely hindering any previous results.  

Say goodbye to bleaching.

Bleaching

 By using a chemical bleach, you can make the hairs less noticeable. This option only lasts for few days until the roots begin to show. You can use this method up to 72 hours before you treatment but do not apply afterwards until the area is completely healed.

Say goodbye to depilatory creams.

Depilatory Creams

 These creams essentially disintegrate the hair just below the surface of the skin. It can lead to chemical burns and scarring. You can use this method while under going electrolysis but it will take longer to grow out than if you shaved so you may need longer than 3 days growth

Choosing An Electrologist

Electrolysis is a difficult skill to master and good Electrologists can be hard to find. The most important part of a successful Electrolysis treatment is finding an Electrologist who performs the treatment correctly. It is their skill that determines whether you get results or not. If you have a good Electrologist, Electrolysis will always work and it will change your life. This is the simple yet important guide to finding a good Electrologist.
