Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about permanent hair removal and what to expect at our Woodstock clinic.

Is electrolysis permanent?

Yes. Electrolysis destroys the growth cells in treated follicles so they can no longer produce hair. It is the only method recognized as permanent by medical and regulatory bodies including the FDA and Health Canada.

How many treatments will I need?

Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to treat all active follicles. Janine will estimate a realistic schedule during your complimentary consultation based on the size of the area and density of hair.

Does it hurt?

Sensation varies from person to person. Most clients describe a brief heat or tingling. Modern equipment and techniques ensure maximum comfort, and the strength of the current can be adjusted to your preference.

Is it safe?

Yes. We use sterilized, single-use disposable probes, and all equipment is strictly disinfected between clients. Electrolysis has been used safely and effectively for many decades and is approved by Health Canada.

Who is a good candidate?

Almost anyone with unwanted hair, including those with light, grey, or red hair that does not typically respond well to laser hair removal. Electrolysis is safe for all skin types and tones, making it the most universally effective option.

How is electrolysis different from laser?

Laser targets pigment and works best on dark hair against light skin. Electrolysis treats each follicle directly with electrical current and is the only method proven to be truly permanent for all hair and skin types.

What should I do before my appointment?

Avoid tweezing or waxing for at least two weeks before your treatment so hairs are present in the follicle. Arrive with clean skin and no lotions applied to the treatment area.
