Electrolysis- Permanent Hair Removal
Electrolysis-recognized by the FDA and AMA as Permanent Hair Removal
Electrolysis is the only procedure recognized by the FDA and AMA as permanent hair removal. Electrolysis is the practice of permanent hair removal by the insertion a fine probe into the hair follicle’s opening, applying heat intermittently therefore destroying the hair follicles ability to regrow. It is the only procedure recognized by the FDA as permanent. Unlike other hair removal options, Electrolysis can be performed on all ethnicities and hair types.

How does electrolysis work?
We place a sterile probe into the base of the hairs follicle to admit heat intermittently. The current heats the lower 2/3rd of the follicle destroying the hair’s germ cells. The hair is lifted out of the follicle with tweezers. Watch the adjacent video to help you understand the process. Scroll down for pricing

Electrolysis VS Laser and IPL
Electrolysis and laser hair removal or IPL (impulsed light) methods are based on two different technologies. Both are aiming to kill the reproductive germ cells in the base of the follicle.
Electrolysis uses a fine probe placed directly into each hair follicle to be treated. Heat is applied to the hair follicle and the hair is lifted out, as we have mentioned above.
Laser hair removal emits a beam of light energy, heating only dark pigmented hair at the base of the follicle. The light doesn’t emit to white or light hair because they lack the pigment . After treatment, the hair should to fall out. Factors that reduce the effectiveness of laser treatments include skin color, hair color and the stage of growth the hair is in. Laser hair removal may reduce growth…but it does not permanently remove all of it.
Darker skin toned individuals run a risk of discoloring skin causing hyper-pigmentation. In addition, we can’t rule out the possibility of skin cancer when using forms of light. Some former laser clients have told us, their laser treatments caused hair to grow more!

Women and Hormones and the definition of Hirsutism
The definition of Hirsutism is medical diagnosis for male pattern hair growth on women. The description of Hirsutism is excessive body hair in a masculine distribution pattern (center line of the body).
Woman experience hormonal changes or may have a medical condition causing unwanted hair growth called Hirsutism. Some possible reasons could be heredity, hormone dysfunction like PCOS, glandular disturbances, medications and stress. Although many of our clients are recommended by a physician, referrals are not required.


Do not tweeze hair from chin or neck
Women who start tweezing chin and neck hair usually find themselves with darker, courser hair growth than before tweezing. Why? Our blood is the food for our hair follicles. When male hormones like testosterone and corticosteroids are free flowing (Free Testosterone) in our blood stream and are not binding their assigned proteins, they will stimulate our hair follicle. When tweezing your chin hair, you are causing more blood flow to the chin causing redness, therefore feeding the hair follicle (from the blood flow) with more hormones resulting in coarser hair than before you started tweezing.
We suggest shaving or clipping the hairs to skin level with trimming or cuticle scissors. If you are considering the process of Electrolysis. You will have to stop all tweezing so your electrologist has a chance to treat every hair.
What to expect with your Electrolysis Treatments
Expect results but be patient. We like to give clients worse case scenarios during their consultation so no client will expect permanency before its time. Treatment sessions can range from 15 minutes to an hour depending on the area being treated. Based on your consultation, we will provide you with a tailored treatment plan.
It takes a minimum of 3 months before you can judge your progress because it takes that long (some bikini areas 6 months) for all hairs to be treated at least once but hopefully twice. Clients usually spend the most time and the most money on treatments during this time frame. After, you will be put on a maintenance schedule until permanency is achieved. Understand you will be enjoying the results and noticing the difference in the decreased hair and the visual fineness of regrowth within a few weeks. You will also start noticing your skin getting lighter and sores healing especially if you were tweezing your hair before you start.

Electrolysis After Treatment Care
- DO NOT TOUCH the treated area. The cleaner and drier the area, the less irritation you will have. If you catch yourself touching the area, please use the alcohol prep pads, provided for you after your treatment.
- The treated area will be red for 30 minutes to an hour – depending on your type of skin. If you have minor irritation, it is usually from dirt and/or sweating.
- Avoid working out 12-24 hours after your treatment.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, skin exhortation’s and Alpha-Hydroxy type products, etc. for 48 hours.
- When treating areas of the body (usually face not included unless you have moist skin), tiny scabs may appear on the second or third day after treatment. THIS IS NORMAL. Please Do not pick or pull them off if you want speedy healing. You may also use Neosporin or another antibiotic CREAM…we recomment not using the antibiotic ointments.
- Leaving the area alone to heal is best. If you have slight puffiness, an ice compress will help but the reddened skin (blood flow) is a natural reaction to the healing process. If ice is needed when you get home, make sure the compress is disinfected prior to use.
