Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal, and it works on all skin tones and hair types. Each session is personalized to your needs, targeting unwanted hair at the root to stop regrowth for good. Whether you’re looking to treat a small area or something more extensive, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s make hair removal one less thing to worry about. 

Electrolysis vs. Laser Hair Removal

While laser hair removal has become a popular option for reducing hair growth, it's important to know that it isn't permanent—and it doesn’t work well on all hair colors or skin types. Electrolysis, on the other hand, is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. It treats each individual follicle with precision, regardless of your skin tone or hair color, including blonde, gray, red, and fine hairs that lasers often miss. Unlike laser, which simply weakens the follicle temporarily, electrolysis completely destroys the growth center of the hair. If you’re looking for a solution that’s thorough, permanent, and tailored to your unique needs, electrolysis is the gold standard.

Before & After Care

Before Your Electrolysis Appointment

  • Avoid caffeine for at least 2–4 hours beforehand—it can make you more sensitive.

  • Gently exfoliate the area a day or two before to remove dead skin.

  • Let the hair grow—don’t tweeze or wax. The hair must be visible for treatment.

After Your Electrolysis Appointment

  • Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.

  • Avoid touching or picking the treated area.

  • No makeup, lotions, or deodorants (for underarms) on the area for 24 hours.

  • Apply a soothing antiseptic or aloe vera to reduce redness and calm the skin.

  • Avoid heat (hot showers, saunas, intense workouts) for 24–48 hours.

  • Skip sun exposure and always use SPF if the area is exposed.
