Electrolysis is a hair removal method that uses electricity to generate a chemical reaction in the follicle to permanently eliminate unwanted body hair.

A thin probe with a bulb on the end is placed into each hair follicle individually, sending a direct electric current that creates a chemical to destroy the germ cells and blood supply that begin hair growth.

I use advanced tools and methods to provide the best results in a comfortable and calm environment.

Sometimes, the intensity of treatments can vary from day to day, individual to individual and treatment location to location.

Please let me know how you are feeling, so I can adjust the treatment to make you more comfortable.

Electrolysis is the only time proven method of permanent hair removal, not reduction

It is also the only safe method of hair removal for some skin tones, complexions, and over tattooed skin.

It is FDA approved and a licensed practice in the state of Oregon and California

Yes!

Please bring your surgeon’s hair removal template to your appointment and we can discuss a treatment plan.

Redness and bumps after electrolysis are fairly common and generally not a concern.

This is known as erythema and can be reduced by gentle icing with a clean ice pack.

Sometimes during extended treatment, the follicle may produce a honey colored crust. This is also normal. It will heal on it’s own and gently flake off. Please do not pick or exfoliate the treatment area during this time.

Occasionally a pustule will form in the treated follicle that may look like common acne. Please do not pop it. A gentle rinse with witch hazel will help reduce the chance of developing these after treatment. Gentle 2% salicylic acid face washes can be used to help dry out these pustules safely.

If you have any immediate concerns after treatment, please reach out to me.
