Is Electrolysis safe?
How many sessions will I need?
What are the side effects?
Is it painful?
Will all the hair be gone after one treatment?
Hair grows in three different cycles, which is why multiple treatments are needed. You can always wax or shave the area and come in after you start to see hair growth to make sure we get the hair in the correct phase.
I’m afraid of needles, could I get this treatment?
Although we do use a needle to perform the treatment the skin isn’t being punctured or pierced, the needle is the size of your hair so it slips easily into the follicle. The majority of people who are scared of giving blood or needles can receive this treatment without any issues.
Should I shave the hair?
No! In order to have electrolysis we need hair growth long enough to tweeze, if you are unsure if it’s too long you can leave it and we can trim if needed.
Can I bring someone with me?
If you are under 18 a parent or guardian is allowed only, no friends. Above the age of 18 no one is permitted in the room unless it’s due to a medical condition.
Can I use numbing cream?
Numbing creams can sometimes thin the skin, and interfere with the process, so we ask you do not use these for safety concerns.
