Does Electrolysis Hair Removal Hurt?
Electrolysis hair removal is a great way to get rid of unwanted or excessive body hair. Some people may experience discomfort during electrolysis hair removal, but the pain level will vary depending on the individual’s pain threshold and the treatment area. This post will discuss our electrolysis services and which will be better for you based on your pain tolerance.
Does Electrolysis Hair Removal Hurt?
The sensation may differ from person to person. Some people may find the procedure quite tolerable, while others may find it more uncomfortable. Discuss your pain tolerance with your practitioner before the treatment and let them know if you are experiencing any discomfort during the treatment.
Traditional Electrolysis
Our traditional electrolysis treatments typically last up to two hours, and the pain level can be moderate to significant. Electrolysis requires a commitment to regular treatments, usually scheduled every one to three weeks. On average, the traditional electrolysis process may take up to 18 months or longer, but the results are worth it.
Traditional electrolysis could be the perfect fit for you if you have sparse hair growth and excellent pain tolerance. Please be aware that traditional electrolysis does not include numbing cream, although you are welcome to apply your own if you choose.
Comfort+ Electrolysis
Our hair removal clinic offers Comfort Plus electrolysis as a comfortable and effective solution for removing unwanted hair. These sessions typically last up to six hours, but the pain is minimal thanks to the use of numbing creams and injections.
If you suffer from a low pain tolerance or are dealing with dense hair growth, such as in the case of polycystic ovary syndrome, Comfort Plus electrolysis may be the perfect fit for you.
Treatment sessions are usually scheduled every four to eight weeks, and the complete process can take anywhere from six to 12 months. This method is especially well suited for treating the face, underarms, stomach, and bikini area.
Large Volume Electrolysis
Our hair removal clinic offers large volume electrolysis as an effective solution for removing large amounts of unwanted hair. These sessions can last up to 15 hours. The pain is minimal, as we use numbing cream, injections, and IV sedation.
Large volume electrolysis is a great option for those with a very low pain tolerance or dealing with dense hair. This can include cases of polycystic ovary syndrome or male-to-female transgender clients.
Treatment sessions are usually scheduled every 10 weeks, and the complete process can take anywhere from 10 to 12 months. This method is especially well suited for treating the face and genital areas and is an excellent option for those with a significant amount of hair to remove.
