Many things can cause excess hair growth

including; heredity, hormone levels,

medications, temporary hair removal methods

(i.e. waxing, tweezing, threading, etc.), and

illnesses. It is also common for women to have

unwanted hair growth during puberty,

pregnancy, and menopause.

Electrolysis involves the insertion of a fine

probe into each individual hair follicle, and a

small amount of current is applied,

destroying the papilla (the blood supply to

the hair). When the dermal papilla is

completely deactivated, no further hair

growth can occur.

Yes! Electrolysis has had a history of safe and

effective hair removal since 1875. Our

equipment is sterilized before each treatment

and we use a brand new sterilized probe for

each session so there is never any chance of

cross-contamination.

There is no pain associated with inserting the

probe into the hair follicle. The Galvanic

Current and the Blend both feel like a

stinging, nagging pain and the High Frequency

Current can be a bit sharper at times.

Sessions will vary based on the amount of hair

you have and your pain tolerance level. The

more you are able to tolerate, the more work

we can accomplish! Multiple sessions are

required due to hair growth cycles and follicle

density.

Temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness

are common. Rarely, scarring or

hyperpigmentation can occur if aftercare

isn’t followed.
