Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How Long Does Electrology Take And How Often Do I Need To Come In?

Electrology is a commitment.  The amount of time it will take depends on many things such as what cycle your hair is in, the treatment area, and many other factors.  After your first free consultation I will know much more about your hair and the area of treatment.  At that time I will give you a general treatment time.

Is Electrolysis Permanent?

Electrology is the ONLY permanent hair removal method approved by the FDA.  As a client myself, I have personally tried just about everything on the market.  Nothing Worked!  I am here to tell you that electrolysis works!  Believe me when I tell you that you are not alone, there is hope!

Is It Going To Hurt?

Each person is different.  We all have different levels of tolerance.  We will figure out your individual tolerance level and adjust the length of time per session or the treatment settings, etc.  It is tolerable.

I Have Blonde/Red/White Hair, Will It Work On These Hairs?

Electrology works on every color and type of hair and every skin type there is.

Does It Leave Any Scars Or Will It Damage My Skin?

Electrology is 100% safe.  It was created in 1875 for the removal of ingrown eyelash hairs.  It is so safe that I can use it around your eyes, and it won’t scar or damage your skin .

Is There A Before And After Care?

Before and after care is very important for a quality treatment.  I like for my clients to develop their own ongoing skin regime, including cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing.  This keeps the skin healthy and the hair unblocked, ready for an amazing treatment.  After care instructions are given during the initial consultation

Can You Remove All Hairs In One Treatment?

It depends on how dense the hair is in the area of treatment, how large of an area we are treating, and how much time we can schedule.

Can I Get Unwanted Hair Removed From Any Place On My Body?

Yes.  I can treat any area of the body.

I Am Getting GRS/SRS And Need My Genital/Arm Area Cleared Of Hair.  Do You Do That?  If So, How Long Will That Take?

Yes, I absolutely do that.  In fact, I specialize in this part of the preparation for GRS/SRS surgery.  In your free consultation we will talk about length of time it takes, this depends on how dense the area we need to clear is, what area of the body, your hair cycle, which cycle you are in, etc.

Should I Start My Electrolysis Treatments Before Or After Starting HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) Or Will Hormones Affect My Results?

Various types of HRT affect hair growth differently.  This is a case by case basis.  Everyone is different and everyone is affected differently by HRT.  We can talk through it together in your consultation and come up with a custom treatment plan with that in mind.

How Long Does My Hair Need To Be In Order To Have A Treatment?

I need at least 48 to 72 hours of growth in order to give you a proper treatment.  I understand that this can cause a difficult situation for you.  I understand the embarrassment, I really do.  I am a client as well.  We can develop a plan together to work on different areas of the face so it minimizes exposure.
