Name the Most Common Misconceptions About Electrolysis

Consumers without a knowledge of current day electrolysis believe it is painful. With today's electrolysis the discomfort level is minimal.

It is expensive. When compared to other methods of hair removal which have to be repeated throughout a lifeime, electrolysis is a bargain.

It takes forever. It does not take forever, however there is a committment if you want to see permanent results. It might take a while to complete the treatments, but then it lasts the rest of your life.

I will have to come every week. No you don't. The growth dissappears over time and therefore the treatments can be spaced & shortened.

What Do You Most Love About Electrolysis?

I love the way my clients feel when they begin to see progress. I love the permanent results. I love to give personalized attention to each client and I love the relationships I build. I love that the treatments are 100% safe and effective.

Electrolysis has been around for more than a century and has been the gold standard of permanent hair removal. I love that I can treat all skin types and colors. I love that hair can safely be removed from almost every area of the body.
