Frequently Asked Questions
It works by inserting a thin, flexible, sterile probe down alongside the hair shaft and transmitting a small amount of electrical energy into the follicle.
The current destroys the follicle's blood supply and regenerative cells. After
the hair is treated, it is removed with a tweezer. Once those regenerative
cells have been eliminated, the follicle seals shut, and there is no possible way
for a hair to be reproduced.
Electrolysis requires a series of treatments to achieve permanency. The number of treatments necessary varies with each person depending on
factors such as: hair growth cycles, the extent of the area being treated,
hereditary growth patterns, previous types of temporary hair removal
methods used, your sensitivity level, how well you heal, consistency with
appointments, and how well you follow treatment instructions. In most
cases it takes between 12 - 18 months to achieve absolute permanence.
-Electrolysis is the only method of PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL approved
by the FDA. Some laser manufacturers have been granted permission by
the FDA to claim a "permanent reduction" in hair removal, but cannot claim
it permanently removes hair.
-Electrolysis has been around since 1875 and has proven to be safe and
effective for over 130 years. The laser has only been used in hair removal
for a few years and has not been evaluated for long-term safety and
efficacy.
-Electrolysis works on all skin types and all hair colors, whereas the laser is
attracted to pigment and only works on dark hairs and light skin types.
Many factors play a role in the development of unwanted hair. Some causes are normal, biological changes that we undergo throughout our lives, such
as: puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Other causes are related to
glandular or hormonal disorders. Hereditary, stress, and certain medications
can also cause excess hair growth.
We offer Thermolysis, Galvanic, and Blend, which are the only three methods of permanent hair removal recognized by the American Medical
Association.
Thermolysis is a method that uses a high frequency current to produce heat
in the area surrounding the hair follicle. This heat cauterizes and destroys
the dermal papilla, which is the nourishment for the hair. When the dermal
papilla is eliminated, the hair cannot live.
Galvanic is a method that works by chemical reaction. It utilizes a direct
current to convert normal body salt and water in the hair follicle into a
compound that destroys the dermal papilla.
The blend method is a combination of both high frequency and direct
currents at the same time. Thermolysis enhances the action of the galvanic
method to produce a faster process than Galvanic alone.
We choose the best and most effective method for you based on your hair type, treatment area, and sensitivity level. This will assure you of maximum
comfort and permanency for your hair problem.
At your first visit, you will receive a complimentary consultation. The consultation includes: a review of your medical history, an explanation of
how electrolysis works, and a FREE sample treatment.
Absolutely! This is a delicate subject matter for most people and I can assure you that you can depend on the utmost privacy throughout all
appointments.
Fees are based on treatment time.
15 minutes = $20
30 minutes = $30
45 minutes = $45
60 minutes = $60
