F.A.Q
Do I need to do anything once I’ve had electrolysis?
Rather than what you do. Check out our page on aftercare for comprehensive advice on how to take care of your skin after treatment.
How long does electrolysis take?
That depends greatly on the part of the body being worked on and the density of the hair.
How Does Electrolysis Work?
The electrologist inserts a sterile disposable filament into a natural opening in the skin, called the hair follicle. An electrical impulse is applied for a millisecond to eradicate the hair's regenerative cells.
Is Electrolysis Painful?
While a painless electrolysis treatment does not exist, the mild discomfort is definitely worth it for the dramatic and long-lasting result. Clients have described the sensation as similar to that of a slight heat, tingling or sting for a fraction of a second.
During your free consultation, Trui will discuss your treatment options and provide a quick demonstration. This will determine the best procedure for minimum irritation and discomfort, with maximum results.
What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is the only medically accepted method of permanent hair removal. The procedure was invented by a physician in 1875 and has been fully recommended by the medical profession since that time.
