Electrolysis is the science of permanent hair removal. A fine probe (needle) is inserted into the hair follicle and a small amount of electrical current is applied destroying the follicle, then the hair slides out easily with forceps (tweezers). There will usually be some redness and slight swelling which usually disappears in 30-60 minutes. A lot of people get their appointment during their lunch hour and it's not too noticeable.

The amount of current is adjusted individually depending on the area, the coarseness of the hair, skin moisture, and tolerance level. With modern equipment electrolysis doesn't have to hurt that much. Most people find it very tolerable. It usually is more comfortable than laser, tweezing, waxing, or threading. It is the only permanent method of hair removal. Laser can be good on legs, bikini, underarms, and backs. It may remove up to 80% of the hair. Some people get good results and if they want 100%  removal, they finish with electrolysis. I never recommend it on the face. Some clients got more hair after having laser hair removal on the face. Laser seems to work better on thick dark hair so a full dark beard may be effective with laser but if you have less than that white, light, collid or fine hairs, electrolysis is the best choice.

Our goal is to remove hair completely. When our clients are happy, we are happy. It's very satisfying to see our clients self esteem soar!

Transgenders community we welcome you to our office.  We hope you will be comfortable and relaxed. We have a lot of experience and compassion for our transgenders clients. We will work on all areas you need and also be able to shape your eyebrows with either electrolysis or waxing and tint your eyebrows and eyelashes.

Electrolysis for Hair Removal

Although laser treatments can be said to offer "permanent hair reduction," electrolysis has been proven to permanently remove hair, follicle by follicle. Electrolysis treatments are a form of electrical epilation where a needle is inserted into the hair follicle and literally applies a zap of electrical current to the area. When professionally performed, electrolysis results are comparable to those of laser hair removal, and may offer even more permanent results for people who are otherwise not a candidate for laser hair removal (i.e. people with extremely dark skin, or someone who has red, blond or gray hair).

Electrolysis requires a great amount of skill, and even though electrolysis machines are sold for home use, we recommend you turn to a trained and licensed electrologist. Depending on the laser being utilized, laser hair removal typically doesn't work as efficiently for very dark skin or very light hair, and even though laser technology is making great strides to incorporate everyone, electrolysis hair removal can still be a great option.

Electrolysis Treatments

There are three basic methods for electrolysis: galvanic, thermolysis, and blend. All three offer similar results and involve a thin metal probe being inserted directly into the skin to the hair follicle. Success often depends more on the skill of the electrologist than it does on the equipment or technique being used. Other factors that can affect your treatment include your hair type and your pain threshold. Modern technology has made electrolysis hair removal less painful, but it's still far from being a painless procedure.

Choose the Right Person for the Job

Picking the right electrologist to do the job is by far the most important factor in determining a safe and effective treatment. The removal of hair with electrolysis is an intricate procedure; the tiny needle needs to be precisely inserted in order for electrolysis to be effective.  The most reliable method in finding a safe electrologist is simply being referred to one by a trusted friend or family member.
