If you would like to learn more about electrolysis, we invite you to take advantage of our complimentary consultation. This visit provides personalized and technical information and includes a demonstration so you can assess the quality of the treatment.
Assessment
Your practitioner will ask about your hair removal history—such as shaving, waxing, or tweezing—and when hair was last removed. This information is important for evaluating your hair growth and providing accurate expectations.
If hair has been epilated within the past 3 weeks, or shaved too closely, an accurate evaluation may not be possible.
You should not feel the probe piercing the skin. With proper insertion, it follows the natural opening of the hair follicle. While you may be aware of the insertion, it should not be painful, and there should be no bleeding.
You should not feel the hair being tweezed.
If a hair has been properly treated, it will release easily from the follicle. You may feel warmth or a slight pinch from the current, but it should not be intolerable.
Estimate
The total number of hours needed can be estimated but not guaranteed. We will recommend the length and frequency of sessions based on your goals.
