Frequently Asked Questions:

A consultation is the first step and the best place to start when gathering information. We offer both laser and electrolysis consultations, but can discuss anything during a session . During the consultation, we’ll assess your skin type, hair type (if applicable), and the area you want to treat. We’ll also discuss your hair and skin goals and any concerns you may have. The electrolysis consultation includes a short test treatment so you can experience the sensation and to see how your skin reacts. And yes, the consultation is free.
Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method that uses an electric current or heat to destroy the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth. It is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal and works on all hair colors and skin types.
During an electrolysis session, a thin probe is inserted into the hair follicle, and a tiny current is applied. This current destroys the follicle's ability to produce hair, resulting in permanent removal. Over time, repeated sessions will treat all hairs in the target area. Leaving you hairless.
Electrolysis can be performed on nearly any area of the body, including the face, arms, legs, underarms, and bikini line. It is also suitable for sensitive areas like the upper lip, eyebrows, and chin. The only places that can not be treated are the inside of the nose and inside of the ears. We have to be able to see the hair coming out of your skin in order to treat it.
The number of sessions depends on the area being treated, hair density, and individual hair growth cycles. Electrolysis requires multiple sessions because hair grows in different phases. Most people need several treatments to achieve permanent results. Previous hair removal methods will impact treatment time.
While electrolysis can cause some discomfort, it is generally tolerable for most people. The sensation varies depending on your pain tolerance and the area being treated. Most describe the feeling as a slight stinging or tingling sensation. Numbing creams are available to minimize discomfort.
We recommend shaving (not dermablading) between electrolysis sessions if necessary, but avoid plucking or waxing. Plucking and waxing remove the hair from the follicle, making it difficult for the electrologist to treat the area. Shaving, on the other hand, leaves the follicle intact, allowing effective treatment.
Temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, or minor skin irritation are common immediately after treatment. These typically resolve within a few hours, if you have sensitive skin it might be a couple of days. Following our aftercare instructions will minimize any adverse reactions.
The cost of electrolysis varies depending on the amount of hair that’s being treated and the number of sessions required. We charge by time. A small area like the upper lip may cost less than larger areas such as the legs or back. Check out our prices here.

Yes, we provide electrolysis and laser services for GRS (Gender Reassignment Surgery) preparation. If possible, bring along a diagram from your surgeon to ensure we are clearing the correct areas.

We use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, a laser system known for its safety, effectiveness, and advanced cooling technology. This device allows us to treat a variety of skin concerns while prioritizing comfort and results.
Lasers are attracted to three things: water, pigment, and hemoglobin. Using focused light energy, the laser targets one of these specific things to safely and precisely treat various skin concerns, whether that’s reducing hair, fading pigmentation, or getting rid of spider veins.
This depends on the specific treatment and the individual. But as a rule of thumb, laser hair removal, acne laser treatments, the Glow Laser Facial, and laser firming treatments can be safely performed on any skin tones with customized settings. Pigment removal and vein removal are only effective on Fitzpatrick types 1-3 which are fair to medium skin tones. A consultation is recommended to determine candidacy.
We determine skin tone using the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale. At your first appointment or consultation, we’ll ask a series of questions about your skin, including how it reacts to sun exposure, to determine which Fitzpatrick skin type you fall under and ensure the safest, most effective treatment settings.
Yes, we do offer single laser sessions; however, in most cases they are not recommended. Laser treatments are designed to be done in a series to achieve the best results. Certain services, such as pigment or vein treatments, may sometimes see improvement with a single session, but others like laser hair removal requires multiple treatments. A single session alone will not produce effective or lasting results.
No. Laser hair removal is FDA-approved for hair reduction, not permanent removal. It works best when done in a series of treatments and can significantly reduce hair growth over time, but maintenance may be needed. A successful laser hair removal series will remove and reduce about 80-90% of hair. Electrolysis is the only method that is FDA-approved for permanent hair removal.
Results vary depending on the type of laser treatment and your individual skin. Some treatments, such as the Glow Laser Facial may show improvement within days.
Pigment and vein treatments can take several weeks as the body naturally clears treated areas.
Laser hair removal results are gradual and occur over a series of sessions over months. Noticeable reduction develops over time rather than after a single treatment.
This isn’t quite the right way to think about laser firming. Laser firming isn’t something that simply “wears off.” It’s a collagen-stimulating treatment. We can‘t stop time, so we continue to age, and natural collagen production slows as we get older.
Laser firming helps stimulate collagen, soften fine lines, improve skin texture, and provide a subtle lifting effect. While it can’t stop time or gravity, it’s an excellent option for aging gracefully, supporting firmer, smoother skin, and helping reduce sagging over time. After completing your initial series of treatments, maintenance sessions are recommended to continue supporting collagen production.
Our Anti-Aging Package is a stacked treatment, meaning multiple services are intentionally combined and performed during one single appointment. In one visit, we complete all four treatments in a specific, strategic order to maximize results while minimizing downtime.
Yes, we have seen several cases of paradoxical hair growth, often from treatments performed elsewhere. If you’d like to understand why it happens and how we address it, you can learn more about it here.
No. While the immediate smoothness is tempting, dermablading keeps your skin in a constant state of emergency repair.
