What is electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a safe, FDA‑approved method of permanent hair removal. It works by treating each individual hair follicle with a tiny amount of energy, preventing the hair from growing back. Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis works on all skin tones and all hair types, including blonde, gray, and fine hair.
Is electrolysis really permanent?
Yes. Electrolysis is the only hair removal method recognized by the FDA as permanent. Once a treated follicle is destroyed, it cannot produce hair again.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the area being treated, your hair growth cycles, and your personal goals. Most clients begin seeing noticeable reduction within a few sessions, with full results achieved over a series of treatments. Theresa will create a customized plan based on your needs.
Does electrolysis hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick, mild heat or pinch. Discomfort is minimal and temporary. Theresa uses techniques to keep you comfortable throughout your session, and many clients find treatments easier than waxing.
Is electrolysis safe for my skin?
Absolutely. Electrolysis has been safely performed for over 100 years. When done by a trained professional like Theresa, it is safe for all skin types and tones. Aftercare instructions are provided to ensure your skin heals beautifully.
What areas can be treated?
Electrolysis can be performed almost anywhere on the body, including:
- Chin and upper lip
- Eyebrows
- Cheeks and jawline
- Underarms
- Bikini area
- Fingers and toes
- Abdomen
- Back and shoulders
If you have a specific area in mind, just ask — chances are, it can be treated.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Avoid tweezing or waxing for at least 2–3 weeks before your session. Shaving is fine. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup or lotions. Theresa will guide you through everything you need to know before your first visit.
What should I expect after treatment?
It’s normal to experience slight redness or sensitivity for a short time. This fades quickly. Avoid heat, sun exposure, heavy sweating, and makeup on the treated area for 24 hours. Theresa provides simple aftercare instructions to keep your skin calm and healthy.
Can I return to normal activities after my session?
Yes. Most clients go right back to work or daily activities. Just follow the aftercare guidelines to protect your skin.
