Large volume electrolysis is an effective way of removing large amounts of facial and bikini hair. At Cirine®, we offer virtually pain-free electrolysis treatments by providing numbing cream, numbing injections, and IV sedation.
Electrolysis offers permanent hair removal that is suitable for people of all genders, skin colors and hair types.
It’s the only permanent hair removal solution approved by the Food and Drug Association (FDA). Large volume electrolysis entails the same process as regular electrolysis, with the added benefit of an additional technician (when necessary), longer treatment hours, and our exclusive comfort protocol.

Our expert technicians at Cirine® Hair Removal & Skin Care are ready to answer your questions and explain the process of our electrolysis treatments. Here are a few things you should know about large volume electrolysis:
We begin with a consultation to determine your unique needs based on your skin and hair type. Everyone’s requirements will differ, and we prioritize understanding your desires and allowing you to ask any questions. We will also brief you on our preparatory guide, which includes drinking plenty of water and avoiding caffeine and alcohol for 72 hours before the treatment.
The procedure itself is preceded by our comfort protocol. Your technician will apply numbing cream 15 to 30 minutes before numbing injections and IV sedation are administered. This will allow you to relax and remain at ease throughout.
Your electrologist (or electrologists) will then insert a small probe into each hair follicle to damage it with alternating electrical currents to heat and destroy the follicle base. After your session, Cirine® offers treatment enhancements should you wish to reduce swelling and improve skin repair.
