The breast area is a very common area of unwanted hair. However, the subject is seldom discussed, as most people find it extremely difficult to talk about. Professionally-performed electrolysis safely and permanently eliminates unwanted hair from the breast and nipple area with unsurpassed results.
The breast area is especially prone to ingrown hairs. Repeated tweezing , shaving, and the tendency to wear tight-fitting bras and other clothing over this area, can contribute to hairs being trapped beneath the skin. Electrolysis can successfully eliminate ingrown hairs, alleviating irritation and potential for infection.
Note: It is generally advised not to have electrolysis treatments on the breasts during the last trimester of a pregnancy.
Yes, this is a very common area of unwanted hair for all ages. However, the subject is seldom discussed, as most people find it extremely difficult to talk about. Electrolysis treatments can safely and permanently remove breast hairs.
Yes, all hairs can be removed from the breasts; it is not unusual to have hair growing from the areola.
While the breasts are sensitive to touch, they are not so sensitive to the sensation of electrolysis treatments. Most people are highly motivated to have the hair on their breasts removed and accept the treatments quite well.
Tweezing does cause hairs to become coarser over time and it hides the true amount of hair you have. All the hairs must grow before they can be permanently removed, so it is impossible for the electrologist to tell you exactly how many treatments you will need. Be sure to follow the electrologist's recommended schedule of treatments. This is essential in achieving permanency as quickly as possible.
Repeated tweezing and shaving, plus the fact that clothes are worn tight over this area, can contribute to hairs being trapped beneath the skin. Ingrown hairs can successfully be eliminated; in time, this will alleviate any irritation you may have experienced.
It is generally advised to avoid breast treatments during the last trimester of pregnancy.
Answers to general questions about electrolysis are available on the FAQ page.

1. Electrolysis is the ONLY METHOD of PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL APPROVED BY THE FDA. Some lasers, not all, are cleared to advertise permanent hair REDUCTION, but NEVER permanent hair removal. If they do so, they are fraudulent advertising.
2. Electrolysis is SAFE for ALL SKIN TYPES. Even if your skin is very light and sensitive or very dark and sensitive, electrolysis can be performed.
3. Electrolysis WORKS on ALL HAIR TYPES. No matter if you have light, grey, black, blond, red or dark hair. This treatment will effectively and permanently remove your unwanted hair.
4. Electrolysis can be performed in any area of the body, including the area surrounding the eye, like the cheekbone and eyebrow where treatments can be tailored to match the shape of the face.
5. Electrolysis can successfully treat distorted hair, which is usually a hair-trait predominant in African, and African-American ethnicity.
6. Electrolysis can be performed in any stage of hair, and have successful results. In laser, the only time you can get this treatment is when the hair is in a stage called anagen. It is highly unlikely that ALL of your hair will be in that stage at the same time.
7. With Laser Treatments you need to avoid the sunlight for almost the rest of your life, especially if you do laser on your face repeatedly (which is not recommended; laser was built to perform treatments on the body).
8. Electrolysis will NEVER damage your skin to a nerve level. If you have a laser treatment from a person that is not well trained, you can have nerve damage or up to third degree burns.
9. With electrolysis you are NOT RADIATING YOUR SKIN (BECAUSE LASER IS AN EMISSION OF RADIATION), which can cause nerve damage, burns or hypersensitivity right after the treatment, or worse, permanent skin damage that may appear 10, 15 or 20 YEARS AFTER your treatment.
10. Some Electrolysis machines have up to 550 programs for each body part. That means the machine power can be adjusted, and is customized to each body part.

If your electrologist can't see the hairs, they can't treat the hairs. Plucking, waxing, threading, or tweezing before your hair removal appointment reduces the number of hairs your electrologist can remove.
