All hairs have differing cycles of growth, many of which are not visible on the surface of the skin at the same time. The follicle produces the hair from the blood supply, and then naturally sheds and replaces itself. Following active growing periods, most hair follicles go into a dormant stage. The replacement hairs usually appear within 3 to 12 months. The appearance of these replacement hairs from dormant hair follicles should not be mistaken as re growth from previously treated follicles.

Electrolysis is the ONLY scientifically proven method of permanent hair removal. Temporary methods such as laser, shaving, tweezing, depilatories and waxing require frequent time consuming maintenance. Skin irritations, ingrown hairs, discoloration, and scarring may result.

Yes,
Ingrown hairs grow through the side of the follicle and lie just beneath the skin's surface. Ingrown hairs are usually caused by tweezing or waxing, when the hair breaks at the weakest point just below the surface of the skin. This can distort the hair, especially if it is pulled against its direction of growth. The hair will then grow under the surface of the skin rather than up and out of the hair follicle. Clients who are prone to ingrown hairs should stop tweezing or waxing and receive our electrolysis treatments immediately.

Electrolysis is suitable for all types of hair and all skin tones unlike laser. Treatment can be applied to most facial and body parts including eyebrows, chin, upper and lower lip, jaw line, sides of the face, breasts, underarms, abdomen, bikini line, fingers and toes, legs and back.

It is really best not to use any other methods between treatments like Tweezing, Waxing, or Depilatories. However, extremely heavy growth can be trimmed with a small scissors if it bothers you in the first few sittings.

Many people report little to no discomfort while others experience a slight warming sensation. Each person’s pain threshold level is different. While some clients can sleep through treatments, other clients might need to use numbing cream prior to their treatment. Drink plenty of water before and after treatment. It helps unwanted hair slide right out of the hair follicle easily.
