Unlike waxing and laser hair removal, Electrolysis works on all types of hair and all shades of skin. Electrolysis is the only method for permanent hair removal and while we can administer waxing and laser, there is no guarantee that the hair will not return. With Electrolysis, you will achieve hair free skin. Electrolysis is slow but sure.
Equipment and Modalities: We use State of the Art Electrology Equipment that enables us to provide the most comfortable treatment as we administer pico flash and other techniques of thermolysis and also administer blend and galvanic as needed, using various techniques with a wide selection of probes to achieve permanent hair removal.
Aftercare: There may be some slight initial swelling. You may also see tiny scabs form about 2 days after treatment. The following are my home care suggestions (if you are allergic to any of the products noted, substitute).
If swelling occurs, apply ice to the treated area for about 5 minutes. If you have oily skin, do not apply the ice.
Keep treated area clean using mild cleansers; do not use harsh scrubs.
Then, blot the area lightly with an antiseptic such as Witch Hazel.
Then, apply Aloe Vera gel.
If you are prone to infection, apply Neosporin cream 2 – 3 times a day for just 3 days.
Avoid exposure to the sun. If you have to be in the sun, wear Sun block of at least SPF #30.
Wait a few days before using hot tubs, saunas or pools.
Do not apply makeup to the treatment area for at least 24 hours and then use fresh make-up that has been purchased within the last 90 days to minimize infection.
Avoid any kind of activity that would subject the treated skin to irritating conditions while it is in the healing stage.
Do not use any abrasive scrubbing action, touch, rub, scratch or squeeze the treated area.
If any scabs appear following treatment, do not pick at them.
For Best Results: Schedule your appointments to clear as much hair as your time and budget allows. Then, as less hair growth appears in the area, your appointments will be shorter. Catching the hair growth as it surfaces will maximize progress.

What you need to know about waxing…
Waxing: Men and Women
Facial hair needs to be at least 1/8” -- Body hair needs to be 1/4”.
If you plan on bathing or showering prior to waxing, please do so at least 2 hours prior to waxing.
Afterwards: You might observe pinking of the skin, red bumps, ingrown hairs. It is rare to see a bruise or blister but if you are using blood thinners or even aspirin, or are menstruating or suffering from a vitamin or nutrient deficiency, bruising might be more apparent.
Aftercare: Avoid heat for 24 hours; this includes hot baths, sauna, steam baths, and exposure to strong UV lights or sun tanning treatments. Do not sun tan for 48 hrs. Do not apply highly fragranced products to waxed areas; this includes perfume/cologne, scented body lotions, anti-perspirant, cosmetics, feminine hygiene sprays. Avoid applying high SPF sun blocks to the waxed area for 24 hrs as sunscreen chemicals can be irritating to the newly waxed skin, this includes self tanning products and tan accelerators. Do not use harsh abrasives or exfoliants in the waxed area unless you are prone to ingrown hairs - then use your exfoliant once you begin to see the appearance of hairs growing back. Stop exfoliating 48 hrs before your next waxing appointment.
Some ingredients that help boost healing: aloe vera gel, tea tree oil, red raspberry and azulene. See our products page.
For best results: repeat your professional waxing routine every 4 to 6 weeks and do not shave or use depilatories between visits.
