FAQs
Is electrolysis painful?
It may cause a mild discomfort which varies from person to person. Many clients describe the sensation as a warm prickling feeling. Topical anesthetics can be applied to minimize discomfort.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies based on several factors including the area being treated, hair density, and the hair growth cycle. A personalized treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
What are the side effects of electrolysis?
Temporary redness, swelling, or slight tenderness might occur in the treated area but typically dissipates within a few hours. Rarely, temporary pigmentation changes may occur, especially in darker skin.
Can electrolysis treat all skin and hair types?
Yes, electrolysis is effective on all skin and hair types, including light-colored hairs that laser treatments may not effectively remove.
How long do the results of electrolysis last?
It is recognized as a permanent hair removal method. Once a hair follicle is treated effectively, the hair is unlikely to grow back. Multiple sessions are required to achieve complete hair removal in the desired area due to the hair growth cycle.
Is electrolysis safe for everyone?
While electrolysis is safe for most people, individuals with certain medical conditions or those who are pregnant may require a physician’s clearance. A thorough consultation will help determine if you have any contraindications.
