A well-groomed appearance is important to both your social life and your business environment.
Ongoing management of unruly facial hair and unwanted body hair can range from time-consuming to impossible. Fortunately, there is a permanent solution to problem of unwanted hair - Electrolysis.
Back hair and ear hair come to mind, but other areas are part of the "manscaping" process. Some common areas of treatment are: eyebrows, especially if a unibrow is of concern; beard sculpting, to eliminate shaving on the cheeks and neck; neckline hair, to treat skin irritations and ingrown hairs; ear hair; back hair and shoulder hair.
The length of a treatment, and the number of treatments to complete the process, will depend on the amount of hair to be removed. Defining brows or treating ears will take a lot less time than removing the heavy growth on a back. It is important to know that consistent clearings, of any area, will achieve permanence sooner than having sporadic appointments.
Treatment sessions can range from 15 minutes to more than an hour, depending on the area being treated. Based on a thorough and confidential consultation, a professional electrologist will provide you with a tailored treatment plan that will address your specific areas of concern.
Your electrologist will explain all aspects of the treatments, recommend a treatment schedule that will help you accomplish your hair removal goals, and explain how you should take care of the treated skin.
Generally speaking, you should not feel the insertion of the probe into the hair follicle, nor should you feel like the hair is being pulled out when it is removed; the hair will easily slide out of the follicle when properly treated. You skin will likely be red after treatment. The redness should dissipate within the day. Your skin should not be unduly irritated and will heal normally if a few precautions are taken, as should be discussed during your consultation. If you have any questions, your electrologist will happy to answer them to your satisfaction.
Hair can be safely and effectively removed from the groin and genital area. Depending on your situation, your electrologist may require that you have other areas treated first or get a medical referral before starting treatments.
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.
