Electrolysis
For most people, waxing and laser do the heavy lifting, clearing broad areas and dramatically thinning growth over time. But sometimes a few determined hairs hang on: the ones too fine or too light for laser to catch, or the stubborn strays that keep reappearing no matter what. That's where electrolysis comes in.

What is Electrolysis?
Think of it as the finishing touch. Recognized by the American Medical Association as a permanent hair removal method, electrolysis treats each follicle individually, making it the perfect complement to your existing routine.
Many clients use it alongside their laser or waxing services to polish off those last few holdouts and reach truly smooth, maintenance-free skin.
The Final Step in Your Hair Removal Journey
Electrolysis isn't meant to replace your other treatments. It's meant to complete them. If laser and waxing have gotten you most of the way there, this is how you close the gap on the few stubborn hairs that refuse to quit. It's a favorite for fine detail work, delicate areas, and the light or grey hairs that other methods can leave behind. Clients of every age, skin tone, and hair type find it the ideal way to finish what their other services started.
Getting Started
We begin by reading your skin. Every area and hair type calls for its own energy setting, so your electrologist dials in the right level before we start. Next, a slim probe is guided into the follicle, so gently you likely won't notice it.
What To Expect
The Treatment
Once we're set, the treatment does its work, loosening the hair from within. This is the part you'll feel, and it's where your electrologist finds the comfortable working point that's right for you. The hair then lifts away with a light touch of the tweezers. No tug, no sting. From there, we move to the next, and repeat, until your session is complete.

Right now, we're focused on the face, the ideal spot for detail work and those last few stubborn hairs. Sessions come in flexible lengths of 15-60 minutes so we can zero in on exactly what you need:
Common questions answered
Is electrolysis permanent?
Yes. Because it treats each follicle individually and stops growth at the source, it's recognized by the American Medical Association as a permanent method of hair removal. Once a follicle is treated and complete, that hair won't come back.
How is this different from laser or waxing?
Laser and waxing are great for clearing and thinning larger areas. Electrolysis is the detail work, ideal for the fine, light, or grey hairs that laser can miss and the persistent strays that keep coming back. Many clients use it alongside their other services as the final step to truly smooth skin.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the area and the number of hairs we're targeting. Since electrolysis works one follicle at a time, and appointments are booked in timed increments, stubborn hairs may need a few visits to fully clear. We'll map out a realistic plan at your consultation so you know what to expect.
Does it hurt?
Most clients are surprised by how manageable it feels. You won't feel the probe going in or the hair coming out. You will feel the treatment itself, but your electrologist finds a comfortable working point tailored to you, and shorter sessions on smaller areas keep things easy.
Can I do electrolysis if I already get laser or waxing?
Absolutely, and many clients do. Electrolysis is designed to complement those treatments, not replace them. It's the perfect way to finish what your other services started.
What should I expect after a session?
The treated area may look slightly pink for a short while, which is completely normal and fades quickly. Your electrologist will walk you through simple aftercare to keep your skin happy.
