Hair grows in different cycles; therefore all hairs ar not visible at the same time. Many factors will determine how many treatments you may need. For example, your hair texture, density, the area being treated and the temporary methods previously used.

Electrolysis treatments are charged by the length of time. Most clients are pleasantly surprised how affordable treatments are. The size and hair density of the area to be treated will determine your cost.

Absolutely! I follow stringent sterilization procedures. I only use sterilized disposable probes, sterilized forceps and a new pair of disposable gloves for every client. Monitored by the Department of Health and Welfare.

The growth of excess facial hair is related to the balance of estrogen and testosterone. Women produce these hormones in a fine balance. The female system allows for menstruation, reproduction and menopause. If the system malfunctions this can result is excess testostrone which presents itself as thick dark hair on the face, breasts and lower abdomen. If you have a sudden onset of hair growth within a year or less, then these should be investigated as to which organ has the hormone malfuntion.
Hormones may become active with age as a result of medications for glandular disturbances. Hair growth may be genetic per disposition, or as simple as an idiopathic reason (no determined cause.)

Hairs that are present, 20% - 30% per treatment. Hairs that are present can only be treated. Hairs that appear one to two weeks after treatment are not regrowth.
A regrowth hair is finer in texture, lighter and much more featherlike in appearance.
In order to completely clear an area of resting and regrowth hair, it is important to maintain regular follow-up treatments.
Each person is individual in their treatment program.

• Electrolysis is not a cure for superfluous hair, it permanently stops hair growth only in the hair follicle treated.
• Hair growth is due to hormones, electrolysis stops growth of existing hair by destroying the root, not the hormone.
• When hairs seem to reappear they are not the same hairs. The are new hairs growing from dormant follicles stimulated by the hormone.
• Once the area is completed, it is normal for a person to receive one or two touch-up treatments a year just as a checkup.
• If hair is tampered with before treatment begins (ie waxed or tweezed) this may cause distorted follicles making electrolysis difficult because of distorted follicles. However not impossible under a skilled practitioner.
