ELECTROLYSIS FOR MEN
A well groomed appearance is important in business as well as socially. Beyond that, some men just naturally have too much body hair for their personal sense of style or their partner's aesthetic taste. If you're not someone who cheerfully puts up with a time-consuming hair maintenance routine, you've found the permanent hair removal solution for men: electrolysis.
WHAT AREAS OF THE BODY CAN BE TREATED WITH ELECTROLYSIS?
Back hair and ear hair come to mind, but other areas are part of the 'man-scaping' process. Some common areas of treatment are: eyebrows, especially if a unibrow is of concern; beard sculpting to eliminate shaving on the cheeks and neck; neckline hair to treat skin irritations and ingrown hairs; ear hair; back hair and shoulder hair. Competitive athletes also choose electrolysis for permanent removal of unwanted body hair for example the arms and legs of swimmers.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
The length of a treatment, and the number of treatments to complete the process, will depend on the amount of hair to be removed. For example, defining brows or treating ears will take a lot less time than removing the heavy growth on a back. It is important to know that consistent clearings, of any area, will achieve permanence sooner than having sporadic appointments.
HOW LONG IS EACH TREATMENT SESSION?
Treatment sessions can range from 10 minutes to more than an hour, depending on the area being treated. Based on a thorough and confidential consultation, I will provide you with a tailored treatment plan that will address your specific areas of concern.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT I'M GETTING 'GOOD' TREATMENTS?
Electrologists should explain all aspects of their treatments, including offering a treatment plan that includes a schedule that will help you accomplish your hair removal goals and, this is important, before and after-care; i.e. explain how you should prepare for your session and how to care for treated skin. With that said, if you have questions you should always feel free to ask me; I will be happy to answer them to your satisfaction. I believe that informed clients are the best clients.
Generally speaking, you should not feel the insertion of the probe into the hair follicle, nor should you feel like the hair is being pulled out when it is removed; the hair will usually slide out of the follicle when properly treated. Your skin will likely be red after treatment. The redness should dissipate within the day. Your skin should not be unduly irritated and will heal normally if a few precautions are taken, as will be discussed during your consultation.
CAN HAIRS AROUND MY GROIN OR GENITAL AREA BE TREATED?
Yes, hair can be safely and effectively removed from the groin and genital area with electrolysis.
