Does Electrolysis ever damage the skin?
If the Electrologist is well trained, skillful and a conscientious professional who is licensed or certified by his/her state's governing agency, the skin should look smoother upon completion of your treatments. The texture of your skin will be finer and velvety when the pores are no longer held open by the blunt end of the hair.

Is Electrolysis painful?
This is a common fallacy. Most clients feel only a slight heat or tingling sensation in the hands of a skilled Electrologist (others have been known to even doze). Some parts of the body are more sensitive than others, but adjustments can be made to create a comfortable treatment.

How many treatments?
It is difficult to be specific as to the number of treatments it sill take because each client is unique. Several contributing factors are; the type and extent of hair growth, client tolerance, skin type and frequency of treatments. Your Electrologist should be able to answer this question more clearly after a review of your case.

What areas should not have hair removed by an Electrologist?
Only with a physician's approval can the hair on moles or birthmarks be removed.

Is Electrolysis dangerous in any way?
The amount of electrical current used is infinitesimally small and poses no hazard. Electrolysis is mechanically safe and scientifically controlled at every stage of its application.

Does the frequency of treatments have a bearing on success?
It is important for a client to participate in a planned program of Electrolysis. It is especially important in terms of hair that may require more than the treatment. Regrowth is very fragile when it first appears. This is the optimum time for treatment, otherwise the hair will rebuild back to its original strength, negating the effectiveness of the initial treatment.

Is Work noticeable while being done?
Immediately following a treatment there is normally slight redness and swelling. It lasts for only a short time. Your Electrologist will give you instructions for appropriate after-care, which should allow you to continue your usual activities.

Is the cost prohibitive?
The overall benefits received from permanency outweighs the cost. Regained self assurance and individual confidence, along with other psychological benefits can mean a new life for you. Continuous use of temporary methods over a period of many years will cost you more in dollars, time and embarrassment. Permanency means forever, and something which lasts forever means an investment. What better investment in one's self than a lifetime of freedom from unwanted hair.
