1. What is electrolysis, and how does it work?

Electrolysis is a safe and proven method for permanent hair removal. It works by inserting a tiny probe into the hair follicle, delivering a small electrical current that destroys the follicle's ability to produce hair. This process ensures that the hair will not grow back, providing a permanent solution to unwanted hair.

2. Is electrolysis suitable for all hair and skin types?

Electrolysis is effective for all hair colors and some skin types. It is a versatile solution for anyone looking to remove unwanted hair permanently. During our phone consultation, we can learn more about your hair and skin type to determine the best path for you.

3. How many sessions will I need for permanent hair removal?

The number of sessions required varies from person to person and depends on the area being treated. Typically, a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart is needed to achieve permanent results. During your initial consultation, we will assess your needs and provide you with a personalized treatment plan.
