Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Your Questions Answered. Everything You Need to Know About Electrolysis.
At Trèsbon Ladies Center for Electrolysis, we understand that you may have inquiries regarding permanent hair removal. To assist you in making an informed choice, we have addressed some of the frequently asked questions concerning our electrolysis treatments. Should you have additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us for more information.
What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. It involves the use of a small electrical current to destroy the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth. This method works on all hair types and colors, making it the most reliable solution for unwanted hair.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the area being treated, hair type, and individual growth cycles. Since hair grows in stages, multiple sessions are required to target all follicles effectively. Our specialists will provide a personalized treatment plan during your consultation, but most clients need several sessions to achieve permanent results.
Does Electrolysis work on all hair types and skin tones?
Yes, electrolysis is effective for all hair types—including blond, fine, coarse, ingrown, and grey hairs—and it works on all skin tones. Unlike laser hair removal, which depends on hair pigment, electrolysis can treat any combination of hair and skin color.
Is Electrolysis painful?
While electrolysis can cause slight discomfort, the sensation is typically described as a tingling or warm pricking feeling. Most clients find the procedure tolerable, and our skilled professionals take measures to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible throughout the treatment.
How long does each session take?
The length of each session depends on the size of the treatment area. For smaller areas like the upper lip or chin, sessions may last 15–30 minutes. Larger areas like legs or arms could require longer appointments. We will create a treatment schedule that suits your needs.
Are there any side effects?
After electrolysis, you may experience minor redness or slight swelling, but these side effects usually subside within a few hours. Our trained professionals follow strict safety protocols to minimize any risk and ensure a comfortable treatment experience.
Can I return to my daily activities after treatment?
Yes, you can resume most of your regular activities immediately after treatment. However, we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and following any aftercare instructions provided by your specialist for the best results.
How is Electrolysis different from Laser Hair Removal?
Unlike laser hair removal, which only reduces hair growth and works best on darker hair, electrolysis is a permanent solution for all hair types and skin tones. Electrolysis targets each individual hair follicle with electrical current, providing long-lasting results, while laser hair removal is classified as hair reduction.
Is Electrolysis safe?
Absolutely! Electrolysis is a safe, FDA-approved treatment for permanent hair removal. At Trèsbon Ladies Center, our licensed professionals follow the highest hygiene and safety standards to ensure your treatment is both effective and safe.
How do I prepare for my electrolysis session?
Avoid waxing or plucking the hair in the treatment area for at least 2–3 weeks before your session. Shaving is fine as it doesn’t disrupt the follicle. During your consultation, our specialists will provide specific preparation instructions to help you get the best results from your treatment.
Can Electrolysis treat ingrown hairs?
Yes, electrolysis is highly effective for removing ingrown hairs. By targeting the follicle at the root, electrolysis prevents future growth and eliminates the problem of ingrown hairs for good.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes! We offer complimentary consultations to assess your needs, answer any questions, and develop a personalized treatment plan. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and take the first step toward permanent, hair-free skin.
