Nearly all areas can be treated the most common treatment areas include the face, neck, underarms and bikini line. Electrolysis is effective on all hair types even white, gray and blonde can be successfully treated.

The length of treatment varies among clients depending on the extent of hair growth, previous hair removal methods and adherence to treatment schedule. In most cases it will take a series of treatments as the hair grows in cycles and not all hair is visible at the same time. Most clients can expect the treatment to take 12 to 24 months starting with more frequent appointments and gradually spaced out as the hair is reduced. Appointments can be scheduled from 15 to 60 minutes to accommodate each client’s needs.

The insertion of the probe generally does not hurt as it is simply sliding into the follicle next to the hair. The current that is applied is often described as a mild sting or pinch with some areas being more sensitive than others. Everyone has a different pain tolerance and most clients find it is worth the slight discomfort to be hair free. Some clients prefer to take an over the counter pain reliever prior to their treatment or obtain a topical numbing cream from their doctor.

Electrolysis is very safe. A new sterile disposable probe is used for each client appointment and tweezers are sterilized utilizing a hospital grade sterilizer after each client. All client surfaces are sanitized before and after each treatment.

Laser hair removal can be very effective at reducing the amount of hair for many people. Unfortunately in some cases laser is not effective due to a variety of reasons including hair color, skin color or skin sensitivity.

If you are waxing, tweezing, threading or sugaring you will be asked to stop. When hair is ripped out of the follicle it damages the tissue around it, in response your body tries to heal it by sending blood and nutrients to that area, this makes the hair grow deeper and coarser. Also it can often stimulate the fine hairs to do the same and become more coarse with time. If you desire to remove hair in-between appointments it is best to shave with either an electric or traditional razor.

Contrary to popular belief shaving does not actually make your hair growth worse. When you shave it blunts the ends of the hair making them feel coarser but it does not actually cause the hair itself to become thicker. If you were to let that hair grow out and naturally shed it would be pointed and feel the same as before shaving. It is similar to when you trim your nails if they are pointed and you cut them straight across they may appear wider/thicker but it doesn’t actually change the nail thickness or growth rate.
