What is electrolysis?
Electrolysis is the only truly permanent hair removal method. It is safe, effective, and FDA-approved. Electrolysis delivers low-level electrical currents with precision to the core of the hair follicle (derma papilla). This allows heat to cauterize the follicle. The hair is then removed (epilated) using sterile tweezers.
The pain level associated with Electrolysis varies between treatment areas; at your initial appointment with Caroline, she will discuss treatment length, frequency, and pain level. Topical analgesic, 5% Lidocane, can be applied 1 hour before treatment and is available for purchase in-office.
Who is electrolysis for?
Everyone with undesired hair.
Caroline regularly sees women, men, teens, trans individuals, and folks in transition.
Electrolysis delivers effective permanent hair removal for clients of all hair colors, textures, and thicknesses; skin tones; and ages. Common treatment areas include the face (upper lip, chin, jaw, neck, and eyebrows), underarms, chest (male and female), back, belly, fingers, toes, and bikini area.
