Frequently Asked Questions

Is Electrolysis the Only Permanent Option?

Yes! Electrolysis is the gold standard for permanent hair removal. While shaving, waxing, tweezing, and threading only provide temporary results (and often cause irritation or ingrown hairs), electrolysis has been trusted for over a century as the only FDA-approved, scientifically proven method of permanent hair removal.

Are There Different Methods of Electrolysis?

Yes — there are three safe, effective modalities of electrolysis:

Galvanic: destroys the follicle through a chemical reaction.
Thermolysis: targets the follicle with heat.
Blend: combines heat and chemical action for maximum effectiveness.

Your electrologist will select the method best suited to your unique hair type and skin needs.

Why Choose Electrolysis?

Unwanted hair can feel like a never-ending cycle of maintenance. Electrolysis offers a permanent solution, saving time, improving confidence, and freeing you from the frustrations of temporary fixes. Clients often notice not only smoother skin, but also increased self-esteem and the confidence that comes with lasting results.

Is Electrolysis Safe?

Absolutely. Electrolysis has been performed safely for more than 125 years. At our practice, we use sterile, single-use probes and follow strict sanitation protocols. There has never been a recorded case of disease transmission from electrolysis treatments, making it one of the safest hair removal methods available.

How Long Does It Take?

Every client is different. Factors such as hair type, treatment area, hormones, past hair removal methods, and growth cycles all play a role. Noticeable improvement can often be seen within a few months, but complete clearance typically requires 12–18 months of consistent treatments. Remember: patience today = permanent results tomorrow.

Who Can Have Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is effective for all skin tones, all hair colors, all areas of the body, and all genders. We proudly provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment, and our practice is transgender-friendly.

What Age Can You Start?

Electrolysis can be performed at nearly any age, with parental consent required for anyone under 18.

Does It Hurt?

Most clients describe electrolysis as a quick heat or tingling sensation — noticeable, but tolerable. Treatment settings are carefully chosen to ensure the hair releases properly. If a hair does not release as expected, a higher setting may be required for effective treatment.

For clients who are more sensitive, we offer a topical numbing cream for improved comfort. This must be applied 1 hour before your appointment for best results. Many clients find this makes treatment much easier to tolerate.

What About Side Effects?

Electrolysis has been performed safely for over 120 years, but like any minor skin procedure, it does involve a short healing period.

Normal, temporary side effects may include:

Mild redness, swelling, or welting (resolving within hours).
Tiny scabs that form over treated follicles (a natural part of healing).
Small pustules (whiteheads) in the treated area — a temporary reaction as the follicle heals, not an infection.

With proper aftercare — avoiding picking, scratching, and sun exposure — skin heals beautifully. Many clients even report that their skin looks healthier and smoother after a series of electrolysis treatments.

Bottom Line

Electrolysis is safe, effective, and permanent. Wherever you’re starting, it’s a lasting investment in smooth skin, confidence, and freedom from the endless cycle of temporary hair removal methods.
