Hair Removal

Electrolysis in Tacoma

Electrolysis is a safe, effective and time tested method of achieving a great hair free body. Using state-of-the-art technology, a minute amount of electricity is gently applied to the base of the hair follicle. Our electrologist uses the blend method, a combination of both galvanic electrolysis and thermolysis, disabling the hair follicle and destroying the hair growth cycle. Eventually, the regenerative ability of the hair follicle is permanently eliminated.

Electrolysis is the only FDA and AMA approved permanent hair removal method. ​It is important to realise that, electrolysis treatment of large and dense areas of hair will be very time-consuming, requiring regular treatments. For these reasons, electrolysis is commonly used for smaller areas such as facial hair, armpit (axillary) hair, ​bikini line etc. although it can be used on any part of the body.
