Electrolysis Hair Removal — Expert FAQ

Fast answers to the questions clients ask most—what it costs in time, what it feels like, and why electrolysis is the only FDA-recognized permanent hair removal for every hair color and skin tone.

Tip: For quickest results, schedule consistent clears on your growth cycle and avoid tweezing/waxing between visits (trimming is okay).

A sterile filament delivers targeted energy inside the follicle to disable the growth cells. We use thermolysis, galvanic, or blend based on your goals and skin response—then the hair slides out without traction.

Electrolysis is permanent hair removal. Laser is best described as reduction and struggles with light, gray, red, or very fine hairs. Electrolysis works on all hair colors and skin tones.

Expect regular visits over 12–18 months. Hair grows in cycles; each follicle must be treated in its active phase. Early clears remove what’s visible; follow-ups catch the rest until the area stays clear.

Yes. It’s ideal for stubborn, hormonally driven hair and excellent at preventing/eliminating ingrowns on the face, bikini line, and body.

Start early. Most clients need ~12 months of consistent full clears every 4–6 weeks on the mapped area for reliable outcomes before surgery.

Most describe a quick, warm “zing.” We tailor settings to comfort, and can recommend OTC topicals or coordinate with your provider for prescription options if appropriate.

Small areas: 15–30 minutes. First-time clears or larger zones: extended sessions. We’ll map a schedule that balances comfort, speed, budget, and growth-cycle timing.

  • Hydrate well; skip caffeine the day of treatment.
  • Arrive with clean skin—no makeup, oils, or self-tanner on the area.
  • No waxing/sugaring/tweezing between visits (trimming/shaving is okay).
  • Hands off and keep it clean for 24–48 hours.
  • Avoid heat, friction, pools, saunas, and intense workouts the same day.
  • Use gentle cleanser + simple soothing moisturizer as directed.

Temporary redness and pinpoint swelling are common and brief. Good technique and aftercare minimize irritation and pigmentation changes.

We screen for recent isotretinoin use, unmanaged skin conditions, and certain implanted devices. When in doubt, bring provider clearance.

Some plans cover gender-affirming hair removal and, occasionally, PCOS-related cases. Check benefits and required documentation.

Brows, upper lip, chin, cheeks, neck, chest, areola, abdomen, bikini/Brazilian, underarms, arms, hands, legs, feet, and more—custom plan for your goals.

No—shaving blunts the tip so it may feel stubbly, but it doesn’t increase density or coarseness. Electrolysis reduces density over time.

how to do electrolysis

How Electrolysis Works

Electrolysis is a process where a tiny probe is inserted into each hair follicle. A small electric current is then used to destroy the cells that cause hair growth. This means that hair won't grow back in those treated areas, giving you permanent results.
