Electrolysis is the only method of 100% Permanent Hair Removal approved by the FDA. It has been safely performed for almost 150 years. It is 100% effective on all hair colors and and it it safe for all body areas. Electrolysis works regardless of hair texture, hormonal imbalances, medications or any other external factors.
Electrolysis may be viewed as a cosmetic procedure, but for many it is medical need. Many conditions, hormonal imbalances and medications can cause un-wanted hair growth. This can affect lifestyle, confidence and many people spend a considerable amount of time and money battling with temporary methods. Electrolysis can relieve this burden and for those who struggle with it on a daily basis, it will absolutely change your life.

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 (also referred to as the source of nourishment). After the hair is treated, it is gently removed with forceps.
If you are suffering from unwanted hair on any body area and you are tired of endlessly using temporary methods, then Electrolysis is for you. If you have a hormonal imbalance or a medical condition that causes excessive hair growth, Electrolysis is for you. If you feel embarrassed or have low self esteem due to unwanted hair, Electrolysis is for you. If you want to be free from the burden of unwanted hair forever, Electrolysis is for you.
A complementary consultation gives you the opportunity to learn about the Electrolysis process without making a commitment to starting treatments. The consultation allows you to visit the space, meet me in person, see the equipment and learn what it will entail to reach permanent results. During your consultation you will receive a sample treatment so you can see what it feels like. Once I have seen the area in person, I can recommend a treatment plan that will get you the fastest permanent results.
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 and you are welcome to go home and think about it before making a decision.
When performed correctly and the treatment plan followed, Electrolysis works on EVERYONE and is 100% effective on ALL hair colors, skin colors or body areas. No questions, no exceptions.
Electrolysis is fairly gentle with the advanced technology available today. Your sensitivity and tolerance level as well as the area being treated will determine the sensation. During your consultation you will receive a complimentary sample treatment so you can see how it feels before you decide to proceed. Numbing creams can be used before hand if you feel you have a lower pain tolerance.
All areas of the body can be safely treated with Electrolysis (see more here)
There is no set cost for Electrolysis since each individual has different needs and different amounts of hair. Therefore treatments are paid for by the time it takes to remove the hair. Treatments start at $45 plus tax. During your consultation I will be able to recommend appointment length and frequency so you can get a better idea on cost per appointment. You can see our rates and discounted packages here.
Electrolysis treatments are offered in 15 minutes increments. Once I view the area during your consultation I can recommend the appointment length that will get you results in the shortest amount of time. Ultimately it is up to you how long you wish to book per session, depending on your time, tolerance and budget.
Each person will have a different treatment plan depending on the body area, amount of hair and whether you have been tweezing and waxing. Since not all hairs are visible at the same time and they are all growing in different cycles, there is no way to treat all the hairs in one session. During your free, no obligation consultation I will explain the process to you in detail and examine the area so I can recommend duration and frequency that will get you results in the shortest amount of time.
The magnification your Electrologist uses is extremely important. Improper insertion leads to poor or no results as well as scarring. When you are having such a delicate procedure, you want to be sure your Electrologist has the best view of the follicle so that this doesn't happen. I always recommend having Electrolysis done with a Microscope. The higher the magnification, the more precise the insertion can be. It allows for perfect accuracy and every last hair you want removed can be seen and treated without hesitation. I have been specializing in Microscopic Electrolysis since 2008.
Electrolysis is the only method of PERMANENT hair removal. Electrolysis is guaranteed to work because treatments target the hair follicle directly. Laser treatments are not guaranteed to work since treatments are performed on the skins surface and many external factors can result in treatments having little to no effect. Laser may also result in a symptom called paradoxical laser hair simulation where the hair growth gets worse. Hair stimulation CANNOT happen with Electrolysis treatments. I never ever recommend laser for the face as I have seen too many treatments go wrong. In my career I have treated many people who spent thousands on laser only to have to start all over again with Electrolysis. Electrolysis is the way to go if you want to be sure your hair is gone for good.

When performed correctly and the treatment plan followed, Electrolysis is absolutely permanent on everyone regardless of hair type, skin color, amount of hair, medical conditions, hormonal imbalances such as PCOS - or any other external factors. I have an amazing reputation as a Master Electrologist and I can assure you that treatments performed with myself will always lead to permanent results.
The only reason Electrolysis would not work is the following:
OR The Electrologist failed to educate the client properly and:
How quickly you achieve results depends on the area you are having treated, the thickness of the hair, your previous hair removal history and how long it takes us to clear the area. Please book a complementary consultation and once I have viewed the area in person, I can let you know a timeframe for results.
Yes absolutely, Electrolysis is equally effective on all hair types and colors.
The sensation of Electrolysis is subjective to each person. This depends on the area being treated, the setting required to correctly remove the hair and your pain tolerance. Some people can tolerate a 2 hour appointment while others prefer 15 minutes. During your free consultation you will receive a sample treatment so you can see what it feels like before you decide to proceed.
You can shave between appointments if you need to but I need at least 3 days growth or longer to perform a successful treatment.
Please refrain from pulling hairs by the root once you have started Electrolysis treatments. This will hinder your results and you will never reach permanency.
The thermolysis method of Electrolysis is absolutely safe for pregnancy and the current is localized to the follicle only. I strictly use the thermolysis method and I have safely treated many pregnant women.
As a precaution, I do not recommend the blend method (I do not use the blend method.) This is an older and slower method of Electrolysis. The blend method is not recommended during pregnancy only because a grounding rod is held and the current is conducted through the whole body; although no studies have been thoroughly completed to determine the safely of this method.
Yes, with an experienced Electrologist, Electrolysis is safe for darker skin tones.
Absolutely, but we recommend Microscopic Electrolysis for optimal precision.
Absolutely. I will start by removing any obvious stay hairs. Then I will follow your natural shape while also being mindful of any requests you have made. If your eyebrows are too thin, I may suggest growing them a bit thicker as your brows will thin as you age - but this is entirely up to you.
Electrolysis is for men and women alike. Women often choose to have treatments for the face, underarms, bikini and legs. Men often choose to have treatments for the ears, shoulders and back.
Yes if you wish. You can apply a topical ointment such as EMLA 1 hour before your treatment. The application must be thick so I can still see the cream when you arrive. It will work better if covered with plastic wrap for the full hour after application. You can wear your wrapping to your appointment and I will remove it when we begin the treatment.
Boys and girls can start having Electrolysis once they have reached puberty. We kindly ask for parental consent if you are less than 16 years old.
Yes, this is a very common area to have treated, please do not hesitate to ask me.
Hair grows in many places and to me, no place is considered strange. I have worked on any body area you can imagine. Please do not hesitate to ask me about hair removal for any area. I am private, discreet and professional.
I do not treat the male genital area. If this is an area you would like to have treated, please contact me and I can recommend someone who specializes in this area.
For facial treatments you can wear anything you wish, although I always recommend being comfortable for your appointment.
For body areas it is helpful to wear clothing that makes the treatment area accessible. Example: A tank top for underarm treatments, loose pants or shorts for leg treatments... If the clothing is not accessible you can remove the article until the treatment is complete.
It's ok if you arrive with make-up on, I will remove it before the treatment.
The nice thing about Electrolysis is that as long as you do not tweeze, wax or pull the hairs by the root after we have treated them, you will never lose the progress we have achieved. It will of course delay results until we can resume your treatments again but you can rest assured any work we have already completed will not be affected.
