CLEAR ANSWERS FOR YOUR JOURNEY
Everything you need to know about permanent hair removal treatments at our Chicopee clinical practice.
What is electrolysis?
Is electrolysis truly permanent?
Electrolysis is the process of inserting a fine, sterilized probe into the hair follicle to deliver a subtle electrical current, safely destroying the growth center of the hair.
Yes. Electrolysis is the only hair removal method recognized by the FDA as 100% permanent, effectively eliminating hair regrowth across all skin tones and hair types.
Which face and body areas can be treated?
What is the recommended session length?
Electrolysis can safely treat almost any area of the body, including the chin, upper lip, eyebrows, neck, chest, abdomen, bikini line, legs, back, and underarms.
Sessions range from focused 15-minute visits for small areas to 60-minute appointments for dense growth or larger regions, tailored to your personal goals.
Is the treatment comfortable or sensitive?
How many sessions will I need?
Sensitivity varies by individual and treatment location. Most clients experience a quick warming sensation. Modern clinical technique ensures maximum comfort throughout.
Because hair grows in distinct cycles, multiple appointments are necessary to treat every follicle during its active growth phase. Your total timeline depends on hair density.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Can I shave between appointments?
Arrive with clean skin free of lotions or cosmetics. Stay well-hydrated, and ensure hair in the treatment area is shaved. There is a a $25 shaving fee.
Yes, you may shave between visits. However, avoid tweezing, waxing, or threading, as pulling hair from the root disrupts the follicle and delays permanent results.
Following these straightforward pre-care steps ensures optimal comfort, skin safety, and treatment efficacy during your session at our Chicopee practice.

Shave or Trim Only as Directed
If you are new to electrolysis, start by scheduling a consultation. During your consultation, we can review your treatment goals, treatment area, hair growth patterns, session timing, and questions before care begins.
Shaving may be acceptable between appointments, but hair should be slightly visible on treatment day unless the provider gives other instructions.
If treatment is connected to gender-affirming care, surgical preparation, or insurance coverage, check whether insurance may be accepted before booking. Coverage and approval requirements vary and may require documentation, prior authorization, medical necessity forms, referral information, or provider paperwork.
Do not remove hair from the root before the appointment because electrolysis treats the follicle and the hair must be present.
