Electrolysis

Electrolysis is permanent hair removal but only with many treatments. The hair must be outside the skin’s surface to be able to see the hair and to treat the hair (just a quarter of an inch). Once the hair is treated with heat from a very small needle, then it is removed by a tweezer. I will of course watch the reaction of your skin to the treatment and adjust my heat accordingly.

We have many cycles of hair growth so each cycle much be treated and then we will have regrowth to deal with. The same process is done for the regrowth.

The only permanent hair removal method approved by the FDA.

Once you start electrolysis it is very impotant to leave the treatment up to that technician.

NO

Tweeze
Wax
Threading
Any type of pulling hair

YES

Shaving
Trimming
Cutting over the surface

(in between appts)

It’s also important to stay on top of treatments because the longer the hair gets a chance to grow, the stronger it becomes, therefore treating the hair once it reaches the skin’s surface is best because it hasn’t gained much strength yet.

Schedule weekly electrolysis sessions to remove all original hair growth. Depending on the amount of hair one may have, coming in weekly or twice a month may be necessary at first. Eventually you can spread appts out further as the hair decreases. If you are a male, wanting your beard removed, be prepared to spend 5-10 hours a week on the table. This can take up to 3-5 years to achieve permanent hair removal.

The average female can take up to 2 years to permanently remove the unwanted hair growth. However this can vary. Reasons electrolysis can vary in length of time per person is dependent on if a client has a hormone imbalance or is on medications that can cause the hair growth. Hair growth can even be hereditary. If someone has tweezed or waxed for long periods of time, this can strengthen the hair and that process has caused an increase in growth from the time they first began plucking.
