Electrolysis

 
 

Electrolysis is the only FDA approved permanent hair removal. At Shoopmann Studios we use a single probe method of electrolysis called thermolysis.  It works by delivering heat directly to the hair follicle and after 3 to 7 treatments the hair will no longer grow. There are many factors that go into the hair growth cycle that can affect the number of times a hair might need to be treated. A personal consultation will help answer any questions you might have.

 
 

Reasons for Electrolysis:

  • Unwanted hair growth (anywhere on the body)

  • Gender-affirming purposes

  • Surgical site preparation

  • Avoiding ingrown hairs or need to pick at skin or tweeze hairs

Reasons you may not be a good candidate:

  • Certain medical conditions or treatments may be a factor in receiving electrolysis (consult your doctor) 

  • Individuals with very sensitive skin 

  • Seeking quick or less expensive hair removal options.
