How does electrolysis work? Is it painful?
Electrolysis is the only medically recognized method of permanent hair removal for all types of hair. Please read our brochure to learn more about how electrolysis works.
Do you accept transgender patients?
Absolutely! I have worked with many transgender patients over the years to help them successfully complete their transition. Hair removal is one of the most important parts of a successful transition and should be begun as soon as possible to allow time to complete treatments.
How long have you been performing electrolysis?
I have been performing electrolysis in the Twin Cities area for over 18 years. Between my years of experience and my continuing education, you can be assured of top-quality, successful electrolysis. I am a Certified Professional Electrologist (CPE), Licensed Cosmetologist (LC), Licensed Esthetician (LE), and am Board Certified.
Do you offer laser hair removal?
I do not offer laser hair removal. I believe that focusing exclusively on electrolysis has allowed me to become an expert in the field.
Laser hair removal has not been proven to be a permanent method of hair removal — only "hair reduction" — and can furthermore only reduce hair that has a large amount of melanin.
I do have training in laser hair removal, so if you have any questions on laser hair removal versus electrolysis, please feel free to call.
Which method of electrology do you use?
I use thermolysis, galvanic, and the blend method. An assessment is done during the consultation with the client as to the method that will be used to remove the hairs.
What equipment do you use?
I use Clareblend/Auto-Blend epilators, designed by Ultrablend. I adhere to strict sterilization standards. Every piece of equipment that the client comes in contact with has been sterilized. Sterilization will be addressed at the time of each client's consultation.
In addition, customers will be treated with all-natural aloe vera gel after each session.
Please click for an image of the equipment that I use.
Do you offer sessions longer than one hour?
Unfortunately, sessions are limited to one hour to insure the physical well-being of your skin and to protect my health.
