Electrolysis treats individual follicles for permanent hair removal. Hair grows in cycles, so a series of treatments is normally needed to reach hairs as they become available for treatment. New growth can also develop later due to hormonal changes.

Most clients describe a quick pinch, warmth, or tingling. Sensitivity varies by area and person. Rue can adjust settings to help keep treatment comfortable.

It varies. The area, hair density, growth cycles, hormones, and previous removal methods all affect the timeline. Rue can discuss an individual plan with you.
