What Do You Most Love About Electrolysis?

Seeing the change in someone's self esteem when they no longer have to deal with facial hair. Hearing that a woman no longer feels the need to put her hand over her chin when meeting people or walk with her face down in the street.

It is especially gratifying to work on younger women before they create the problems associated with years of tweezing and waxing. It is improtant to understand that the earlier a woman starts the process of electrolysis the faster it gets completed.

With waxing and tweezing the follicles become irritated and there is usually some hyperpigmentation of the skin as well as ingrown hairs.
