Hair Removal

Electrolysis is the permanent method of removing hair from the body. A small sterile probe is inserted into the hair follicle and then a small electric current is delivered. This heats up the hair follicle and destroys the blood supply to the hair. Once the blood supply is destroyed the hair is unable to grow.

We also offer intense pulse light (LHE) hair removal. Similar to laser hair removal, this technique is best used for large areas of hair. With either method, it takes a series of treatments at regular intervals in order to achieve permanency. LHE sends out a low and safe wave of light. The light generates heat and is drawn to the hair follicle. The hair shaft then absorbs the heat, damaging the bulb and greatly inhibiting hair re-growth.

Several factors are involved with how well the hair will respond to treatments. Waxing, tweezing and hormonal changes all contribute to the growth pattern of one's hair. On your first visit, a complementary consultation with your electrologist will review in detail the process and treatment plan best for you. At that time you may wish to start your first treatment.
