- Is electrolysis really permanent?
- RinaYes. Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. It works by destroying the hair follicle at the root, preventing future hair growth — for good.
- How many sessions will I need?
- RinaIt depends on the area being treated, your hair growth cycle, and hormonal factors. Most clients require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. A personalized treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
- Is it painful?
- RinaMost clients describe the sensation as a mild stinging or pricking feeling. Discomfort levels vary depending on your sensitivity and the area being treated. I use professional techniques to keep the experience as comfortable as possible, and topical numbing can be applied if needed.
- What areas can be treated?
- RinaElectrolysis can safely and effectively treat any part of the body, including: face (chin, upper lip, eyebrows), underarms, bikini & brazilian area, arms & legs, fingers, toes, back, and more. Unlike laser, it’s effective on all skin tones and all hair colors.
- What’s the difference between electrolysis and laser hair removal?
- RinaLaser targets pigment and is most effective on dark hair and light skin. It’s considered a reduction method, not permanent for everyone. Electrolysis treats each hair follicle individually, regardless of color or skin tone — and is permanent.
- Are there any side effects?
- RinaMild redness or slight swelling may occur right after treatment, which typically subsides within a few hours. All procedures are performed under sterile conditions following strict protocols to minimize any risks.
- Is electrolysis safe for sensitive areas like the face or bikini?
- RinaAbsolutely. Electrolysis is safe and effective for even the most delicate areas. With proper technique and sterile equipment, it’s a trusted solution for facial and intimate zones.
- Can I do electrolysis if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
- RinaElectrolysis is generally considered safe during pregnancy, especially in non-abdominal areas. However, I recommend consulting with your doctor first. During your consultation, we’ll also review your health history to ensure it’s appropriate for you.
- Do you offer consultations before starting treatment?
- RinaYes, I offer a free consultation where we’ll review your goals, medical history, and create a tailored treatment plan based on your skin and hair type.
- What should I do before and after my session?
- RinaBefore:
- Avoid caffeine or alcohol 24 hours before your session
- Don’t tweeze or wax the area (shaving is fine)
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin (for facial areas)
- Avoid sun exposure and hot baths for 24–48 hours
- Apply a calming antiseptic or aloe gel
- Do not touch or scratch the area
