Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Electrolysis Hair Removal, 15 Min.

Electrolysis uses a fine probe and a small electrical current to permanently disable the hair follicle. A 15-minute session focuses on a limited area; multiple appointments create lasting hair reduction over time.

Most clients feel a brief stinging or tingling sensation. Discomfort varies by area and sensitivity; technicians adjust settings and can use topical numbing to maximize comfort during the 15-minute session.

Treatment counts depend on hair density, growth cycles, and the area treated. Many clients require multiple 15-minute sessions spaced weeks apart; a personalized plan estimates the total number and frequency.

Electrolysis suits most people, all skin tones, and hair colors. It’s ideal for small, targeted areas. Pregnant clients should consult their physician; we review medical history before starting treatments.

Aftercare includes gentle cleansing, avoiding sun exposure and hot showers for 24–48 hours, and applying soothing ointment if needed. Do not pick treated areas; follow your technician’s instructions for best healing.

Common short-term effects include mild redness, swelling, or tiny scabs. These typically resolve in days. Infection or scarring is rare when performed by a licensed professional who provides proper aftercare guidance.
