Did you know?
The hair you see is not all the hair you have. Hair grows in cycles. That's why it takes more than one appointment to permanently clear an area.
Electrolysis Tip
For a more comfortable treatment, avoid caffeine for a few hours before your appointment.
Did you know?
If your electrologist can't see the hairs, they can't zap the hairs. Plucking, waxing, threading, or tweezing before your hair removal appointment reduces the number of hairs your electrologist can remove.
Electrolysis Tip
Ask your electrologist for aftercare advice. We can recommend the product that is right for your skin and treatment program.
Electrolysis Tip
It's okay to shave between treatments, but never, ever tweeze!
Did you know?
Gently exfoliating your skin before your treatment opens up the follicles and lets the unwanted hair slide out more easily.
Electrolysis Tip
Clean skin releases unwanted hair more easily. Remove your makeup before your appointment, 
so the hair follicles are clean and accessible.
Did you Know?
Electrology is the only hair removal method recognized as permanent by the FDA.
Electrolysis Tip
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Drinking plenty of water helps unwanted hair slide right out.
Electrolysis Tip
Talk to your electrologist about any questions or concerns. We want your experience to be as comfortable and effective as possible.

ELECTROLOGIST CERTIFICATIONS, CREDENTIALS, AND DEFINITIONS
A Certified Professional Electrologist or Certified Clinical Electrologist is one who has paid to sit for a specialized, registered, and closely governed examination, and by passing with high marks, has earned the right to use the designation, "Certified Professional Electrologist", (CPE), or "Certified Clinical Electrologist", (CCE).
A Licensed Electrologist is a designation given by states that have licensure requirements for Electrologists in that state. Once a person sits for the state exam and passes with high marks, they have earned the right to use the designation of "Licensed Electrologist", (LE).
