FAQ'S

Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. It works by using a small electric current to destroy the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth. This treatment is safe and effective for all skin and hair types, and can be used on any area of the body. Electrolysis provides a permanent solution to unwanted hair, unlike temporary methods like shaving or waxing.

The number of sessions varies based on hair type, density, and the area being treated. Multiple sessions are typically needed to achieve permanent results.

During a session, you may feel a slight pricking sensation. Each session can last from 15 minutes to over an hour, depending on the treatment area.

Most clients experience mild discomfort, comparable to a slight sting. Sensitivity varies, but pain can be managed with topical anesthetics if needed.

Common side effects include redness and slight swelling, which usually subside within a few hours. Proper aftercare helps minimize these effects.

Avoid caffeine, excessive sun exposure, and hair removal methods that remove hair from the root (like waxing) for 48 hours before your session.

After treatment, keep the area clean and avoid sun exposure, makeup, and harsh skin products for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation.
