~ FAQs ~


Is unwanted hair growth a common problem?

Yes. Most women and some men do not feel comfortable with hair growing on certain parts of their body.

What causes unwanted hair to grow?

There are many causes. Some are heredity, illnesses, or side effects of medications. Hormonal changes such as pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and other life changes can trigger unwanted hair growth.

Using "quick fix" methods to remove hair such as waxing, plucking, tweezing, or using depilatory creams can significantly increase the growth rate of unwanted hair, making the problem worse.

Does Electrolysis hurt?

For most people the discomfort of electrolysis is minor. Sensitivity does vary greatly among people, and certain body parts are more sensitive than others. For very sensitive clients, taking an over the counter pain reliever or using a topical anaesthetic ointment about 30 minutes before a treatment will reduce or eliminate the discomfort.

How long does a treatment take?

Treatments take between 15 minutes and 1 hour.

How many treatments will I need and how often will I need them?

This varies, depending on the amount of hair to be removed, and whether the hair is fine and light, or dark and coarse. During your free, personal consultation your electrologist will design a treatment plan that addresses your particular needs.

How much does electrolysis cost?

Fees range from $28 for a 15 minute treatment to $60 for a 1 hour treatment.

Will electrolysis have any side effects on my skin?

Some clients may experience some redness following a treatment. This generally will not last longer than a few hours. Carefully following post treatment instructions from your electrologist will minimize this situation.

Why is electrolysis better than other methods like waxing or laser?

Waxing, shaving, and depilatory creams, while inexpensive and fast, can cause skin irritation problems and will greatly increase the growth rate of unwanted hair.

Laser hair removal is much more expensive than electrolysis. While laser may remove the hair, it does not kill the hair follicle like electrolysis does, so the hair may grow back. Massachusetts requires 1,100 hours of training to become a licensed electrologist. No formal education or training is required for laser technicians. Laser hair removal, if not done properly, poses a risk of burning or scarring your skin. Laser does not work safely and effectively with all varieties of skin and hair types, while electrolysis does.

What is Electrolysis?

A treatment of electrolysis involves inserting a tiny, sterile needle, also known as a probe, directly into the hair follicle opening down into the dermal papilla. The papilla is the target of the electrologist. This is the part of the follicle that feeds and nourishes the growing hair.

When the probe is in place, a very low level electrical current is released for approximately 1/100 of a second. The electrical current destroys the papilla and surrounding cells. When this happens, the hair follicle will die, and it will not regrow.

Why is Electrolysis Permanent While Other Methods of Hair Removal are Only Temporary?

Electrolysis is the only F.D.A approved method of permanent hair removal. Unlike laser and light based hair removal techniques, electrolysis not only removes the hair, but also destroys the source of the hair's nourishment, resulting in the death of the hair follicle. When hair is only removed it can and will grow back. When the hair follicle is destroyed, it cannot regrow and has been permanently removed.

Other common methods of temporary hair removal include shaving, waxing, or plucking. All of these methods are not only temporary, but in many cases cause even more unwanted hair to grow back in the same area.

Is Electrolysis Safe?

Electrolysis is completely safe, and can be performed on any part of the body. Unlike laser and light based hair removal devices, electrolysis is effective on light or dark hair and all skin types. Electrolysis is safe for all ages, and can also be performed safely during pregnancy.

What Areas of the Body is Electrolysis Used On?

Electrolysis can safely be performed on all body parts. The most common areas include:

Women

Chin, neck, upper and lower lip, cheeks, eyebrows, chest, breasts, bikini area, abdomen, underarms, hands, feet, fingers, and toes.

Men

Ears, nose, eyebrows, face and shoulders.
