Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a permanent form of hair removal that treats all hair types and colors and is the only FDA-approved treatment for permanent hair removal. At Aspire Dermatology, we carry and use state of the art equipment that provides a safe and effective treatment that can be well-tolerated by the client. Your trained electrologist inserts a tiny metal probe into each hair follicle and then a small amount of electrical current is delivered to the probe using an electronic device called an epilator. Depending on the technique chosen by your electrologist, the electric current destroys the hair root by heat, chemical action, or a combination of both. Some common areas include: the hairline, eyebrows, top of the nose, cheeks, sideburns, upper and lower lip, neck, shoulders, hands, and feet.
