1. What is electrology?

Electrology is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal. It works by using a fine probe to deliver a small amount of energy to the hair follicle, effectively destroying its ability to regrow hair.

2. Is electrology really permanent?

Yes. When performed correctly, electrology permanently disables the treated hair follicles, preventing them from producing new hair. Multiple sessions are required to treat all hairs in their growth cycles.

3. How many treatments will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment area, hair density, and your personal hair growth cycle. Most clients begin to see noticeable results within a few months, with full results achieved over a series of consistent treatments.

4. Does electrology hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a brief warmth or mild sting. Comfort levels vary from person to person, but treatments are very tolerable.

5. Is electrology safe for all skin and hair types?

Yes! Electrology works on all skin tones, hair colors, and hair textures — unlike laser hair removal, which can be limited by contrast between skin and hair color.

6. What areas can be treated?

Nearly any area of the body can be treated, including the face, underarms, bikini line, legs, back, abdomen, and more. Treatments are customized to your individual needs.

7. How long does each session take?

Session length depends on the area being treated and the amount of hair present. Treatments can range anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour. I’ll help you determine what’s best for your goals during your consultation.

8. What should I do before my appointment?

Avoid tweezing or waxing for at least two weeks before treatment. The hair must be present in the follicle for electrology to work. You can trim hair to a short length if desired.

9. What should I expect after my treatment?

You may experience mild redness or slight swelling immediately after your session — this is normal and usually subsides within a few hours. Keeping the area clean and avoiding makeup, heavy sweating, or sun exposure for 24 hours helps promote healing.

10. How should I care for my skin after electrology?

Cleanse the treated area gently with mild soap and water, avoid touching or scratching, and apply an aftercare product such as aloe vera or witch hazel to soothe the skin.

11. Can I shave between treatments?

Yes! Shaving is perfectly fine between appointments. Just avoid waxing, tweezing, or epilating, as these remove the hair root and can disrupt your progress.

12. How is electrology different from laser hair removal?

Laser targets pigment in the hair and is best suited for certain skin and hair types, while electrology targets the follicle directly — making it effective for everyone, regardless of hair color or skin tone. Electrology also delivers permanent results.

13. Is electrology safe for people with medical conditions or hormonal hair growth?

Yes, electrology can safely and effectively treat unwanted hair caused by hormonal changes, PCOS, or other medical conditions. I’ll review your health history to ensure treatments are customized appropriately.

14. How soon will I see results?

You’ll notice hairs becoming finer and fewer after several sessions. Consistency is key — regular treatments help target all follicles as they enter their active growth phase.
