Frequently Asked
Questions
Does electrolysis work?

Yes, electrolysis works! With repeated electrolysis visits you will see a reduction and eventual permanent removal of your unwanted hair. Electrolysis is actually the only hair removal method approved by the USFDA and Canadian Dermatology Association for permanent hair removal.


Are there different types of electrolysis?

Yes there are different types of electrolysis. There are three methods utilized within electrolysis, which are Thermolysis — a high-frequency current that generates heat to destroy the hair follicle; Galvanic Electrolysis — a direct electrical current that creates a chemical reaction to destroy the hair follicle; and “The Blend” — a combination of the other two methods. Depending on each client's specific needs, as well as existing health conditions, I will determine which method or methods to utilize in a treatment session in order to achieve the best results.


Why do people choose electrolysis hair removal?

There are many reasons one may choose to pursue electrolysis for permanent hair removal. One of the main reasons is that unwanted hair can cause insecurities about one’s appearance, sometimes strong enough to interfere with their relationships and personal lives. The best part of my job is helping women overcome these insecurities and embrace their unique beauty! Another reason many women pursue electrolysis is simply for the fact that it is permanent, eliminating the need to shave, wax or laser ever again.
