What it is

Electrolysis is FDA-approved permanent hair removal that uses a fine probe inserted alongside each hair follicle. A brief electrical current destroys the follicle's ability to regrow hair. Works on any hair color and skin tone—including white, gray, and very light hair that laser can't target.

What to expect

The treatment feels like a brief pinch or prick at each follicle. Topical numbing is available for sensitive areas. The provider works through the treatment area one follicle at a time.

Mild redness and small bumps at treated follicles are normal for several hours. Most resolve overnight.

Avoid sun exposure, makeup, and active skincare on the treated area for 24 hours. Skip waxing, plucking, or threading between sessions for areas being treated; shaving is fine.

What we offer

Electrolysis ranges $40 to $140 by time and package. Sessions are typically 15 to 60 minutes. Particularly useful for: white/gray facial hair, single stubborn hairs, hormonal hair growth, transgender patients, and patients who've completed laser and have residual hairs.

Benefits

PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL

The only FDA-approved permanent hair removal method—results are guaranteed permanent per the FDA.

WORKS ON ANY HAIR

Effective on white, gray, blonde, and light hair that laser can't target—and any skin tone.

PRECISION TREATMENT

Treats individual hairs for stubborn growth that laser missed, or for small specific areas.

HORMONAL HAIR

Effective for hormone-driven facial hair (PCOS, menopause) that recurs with hormonal changes.

VERSATILE

Useful for upper lip, chin, brows, transgender care, or any area where permanent precision is needed.

Good to know

Recovery 1 day—mild redness and tiny scabs at treated follicles for 24 to 48 hours. Use healing ointment, avoid picking. Skip sun exposure for 5 to 7 days. Treatments recommended every 2 to 4 weeks. Most areas require 12 to 18+ sessions over 1 to 2 years for full clearance—the timeline reflects treating each hair individually.

The treatment

Each hair is treated individually—the slower pace is the trade-off for true permanence. Topical numbing available for sensitive patients. Sensation is a brief pinch-and-warmth per pulse. Some areas (upper lip, underarms) feel more than others.

Electrolysis is FDA-approved permanent hair removal that uses a fine probe inserted alongside each hair follicle. A brief electrical current destroys the follicle's ability to regrow hair. Each hair is treated individually. It's the only hair removal method classified as truly permanent by the FDA.

What is electrolysis and how does it work?

Laser treats large areas quickly but targets pigment in the hair—doesn't work on white, gray, or very light hair. Electrolysis works on any hair color and skin tone because it doesn't rely on pigment. Electrolysis is slower (one hair at a time) but truly permanent. Laser is faster with high reduction; electrolysis is the choice for permanent on any hair color.

How is electrolysis different from laser hair removal?

Treatments are recommended every 2 to 4 weeks, or as often as hair growth occurs. Multiple sessions are required to achieve permanent results. Most areas require 12–18+ sessions over 1–2 years for full clearance—the longer timeline reflects treating each hair individually.

How many electrolysis sessions will I need?

Each pulse is a brief pinch-and-warmth sensation. Some areas (upper lip, underarms) feel more than others. Topical numbing can be applied for sensitive patients. Most patients describe it as tolerable but not pleasant—the trade-off is permanent removal.

Does electrolysis hurt?

Any area: face (upper lip, chin, sides, brows), underarms, bikini line, body. Particularly useful for: white/gray facial hair that laser can't treat, single stubborn hairs, hormonal hair growth, transgender patients, and patients who've completed laser and have residual stubborn hairs.

What areas can electrolysis treat?

Electrolysis ranges $40–$140 depending on time and package. Pricing details available at booking. Total cost depends on density of hair and area size.

How much does electrolysis cost in Lubbock?

Yes—electrolysis works on all skin tones because it doesn't target pigment. The only safety consideration is that very dark skin needs careful technique to avoid post-treatment hyperpigmentation. We adjust settings based on your skin.

Is electrolysis safe for all skin tones?

Recovery is about 1 day. Mild redness and tiny scabs at treated follicles for 24–48 hours. Use healing ointment, avoid picking. Skip sun exposure on treated areas for 5–7 days.

What's the recovery from electrolysis?

Yes—electrolysis can permanently remove hair triggered by hormonal conditions. However, ongoing hormonal triggers may produce new hair growth in other follicles over time. Patients with PCOS or active hormonal influences may need maintenance for new growth. Combining with hormonal management (under medical care) produces best long-term results.

Will electrolysis work on hormonal hair growth (PCOS, etc.)?

Book a consultation. We'll examine the area, discuss whether electrolysis or laser is the right choice for your hair type and goals, and design a treatment schedule. Most patients combine an initial laser series (for bulk hair) with electrolysis touch-ups (for remaining stubborn hairs). Call (806) 701-5840 or book online.
