Why do some hairs grow back?
To understand why it takes a few sessions to achieve completely permanent results, it helps to look at a little biology.
Your hair goes through three distinct stages: Anagen (the active growth phase), Catagen (the transitional phase), and Telogen (the resting phase). At any given time, roughly 40% of your hair follicles are in a resting phase. A hair follicle cannot start its next growth cycle until the resting hair has shed.
The early Anagen (growth) phase is the prime window for the best results. Over a series of consistent treatments, we target and completely disable the active follicle and its growth cells. During each session, I will target current regrowth alongside any remaining hairs. Over time, you will notice a significant, steady decrease in hair production—signaling that your consistency is delivering true, permanent results.
When will I be hair free?
Because hair growth is complex, the timeline looks a bit different for everyone. Factors like puberty, menopause, hormonal shifts, and certain medications all influence how your hair grows.
Your dedication to a regular treatment schedule and your personal comfort level during sessions also play a major role in how quickly we reach your goals. While most clients notice a visible decrease in hair growth after just a few treatments, achieving complete permanency is a personalized process that happens over time.
Is Electrolysis for men?
Absolutely. Electrolysis is a fantastic solution for anyone looking to permanently eliminate unwanted hair. Many men choose electrolysis to save time on daily grooming or to target specific problem areas. It is highly effective for shaping clean beard lines, treating the back and back of the neck, and stopping painful ingrown hairs permanently. For both men and women, electrolysis offers total freedom from the endless loop and expense of temporary hair removal.
What does it feel like?
Most individuals experience a mild sensation that is more of a brief, warm tingle than anything painful.
Everyone’s comfort level is unique, and our equipment settings are completely adjustable. We will always work at a pace and setting that matches your tolerance while ensuring efficient results. For highly sensitive areas, topical numbing creams, Zensa, can be applied prior to your appointment to make the experience completely comfortable.
What areas can I have Electrolysis done?
Virtually any area can be treated safely, with the exception of the inside of the nose and the inner ear canal (though the rim of the ear is perfectly safe to treat).
Common areas for women: The face, hairline, chest, abdomen, bikini line, underarms, legs, fingers, and toes.
Common areas for men: The upper arms, nape of the neck, eyebrows, around the ears, bridge of the nose, back, and the edges of the beard line.
Is Electrolysis Permanent?
Yes. Electrolysis safely and permanently removes all hair colors from all skin tones. It remains the only FDA-approved method for true permanent hair removal. Because the treatment directly targets and destroys the specialized growth cells inside the follicle, the treated hair simply cannot grow back.
