What is Electrolysis?
Electrology is a hair removal method that targets individual hair follicles to permanently stop hair growth. Using a fine, sterile probe, a trained electrologist delivers a low-level electric current directly into the follicle beneath the skin’s surface. This controlled current generates heat, effectively destroying the hair growth cells and root. As a result, existing hair falls out, and future growth is prevented.

Common Reasons That May Lead You to Electrolysis
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
PCOS can lead to excess facial and body hair due to elevated androgen levels. Electrolysis is a medically recognized, permanent hair removal method that treats each follicle individually, making it especially effective for hormonally driven hair growth.
If you’re navigating PCOS, we offer safe, personalized treatments to help you manage unwanted hair with confidence and care.
Hirsutism
Hirsutism is a condition that leads to excessive hair growth in areas like the face, chest, or back — places where hair growth is typically minimal in women. It’s often caused by elevated androgen levels and may be linked to conditions like PCOS, adrenal disorders, or certain medications.
Hirsutism can affect physical comfort and self-esteem, and each person’s experience is unique. With the right support and treatment options, it can be managed effectively.
Gender-Affirming
For many trans and non-binary individuals, unwanted facial or body hair can contribute to gender dysphoria. Hair removal can be a meaningful part of gender-affirming care, helping you feel more comfortable in your body.
Electrolysis offers permanent results and is often part of preparation for gender-affirming surgery or personal transition. We provide treatments with professionalism, care, and respect for your identity and goals.
Post laser hair growth
For laser hair removal, most clients experience reduced hair growth, and in many cases, hair becomes finer and lighter over time. However, in some individuals—especially on the face—a reaction called paradoxical hypertrichosis can occur. This means that instead of thinning, the hair may grow back thicker or darker in the treated area. While uncommon, this side effect is more likely in people with hormonal imbalances or when treating fine, light-colored facial hair.
Electrolysis vs. Laser Hair Removal
A common question we hear: “What’s the difference between electrolysis and laser?”
| Electrolysis – Destroys the follicle and guarantees permanent results. Works on every hair and skin type. |
| Laser – Reduces hair growth but is not permanent. May not work on light or fine hair and often requires ongoing maintenance. |
