Electrolysis
Say goodbye to the cycle of temporary fixes. Electrolysis hair removal in NYC provides safe, precise, and permanent hair removal that works in harmony with your skin.
How Electrolysis Works
Electrolysis hair removal disrupts the growth cells inside each follicle using a micro-current delivered through a fine probe. This process is both safe and scientifically proven to achieve lasting results.
Where other methods cycle endlessly between hair growth and removal, electrolysis ends the cycle altogether. With consistency, you’ll enjoy smoother skin, greater confidence, and the freedom of never worrying about unwanted hair again.
Electrolysis Rates & Packages
Pricing is based on the length of your session. During this time, our aestheticians precisely target hair follicles for safe, permanent removal.

Before Your Visit
Pre-Treatment Care
Make sure the hair is about 2–3 mm long so it can be properly treated.
Avoid laser hair removal for at least 3 months before starting electrolysis. Keep your skin well-hydrated before the treatment — apply moisturizer regularly. Drink plenty of water before and after your session to support healthy skin and faster recovery.
Avoid waxing, tweezing, or threading the area between treatments – shaving is fine.
Post-Treatment Care
Avoid touching, scratching, or rubbing the treated area. Wear loose clothing for 48 hours (white cotton underwear for bikini area). Apply soothing or antiseptic products (witch hazel, aloe, chlorhexidine, or calamine) twice daily for 48 hours. Use SPF 30+ daily and avoid sun or heat exposure for 2 days. Skip oily, perfumed, or alcohol-based products; keep skin moisturized.

FAQ
How does electrolysis work?
How many sessions do I need?
Is electrolysis really permanent?
Yes — electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. It permanently destroys treated follicles, so those hairs won’t grow back. However, new hairs can appear later due to hormones, genetics, or aging, which is why maintenance sessions are sometimes needed.
How often should I get electrolysis done?
For body areas, initial treatments are usually scheduled every 30–45 days. For facial areas, sessions are typically once every 1–2 weeks at the start. Over time, sessions become less frequent, since hair growth slows and not all hairs regrow quickly.
Does electrolysis hurt?
Are there any side effects?
Is it safe for all skin types?
