Proven Hair Removal in Canada

Electrolysis is the only proven, permanent method of hair removal. It has been safely used around the world for over 125 years. It is an effective procedure for all skin and hair types and can be safely used on any part of the body to eliminate unwanted hair.

Electrolysis is Safe

Electrolysis, when performed by a qualified professional, is a safe and effective method for permanent hair removal. A qualified electrologist possesses in-depth knowledge of hair growth cycles, up-to-date electrolysis techniques, sterilization protocols, and client assessment, allowing them to maximize treatment outcomes.

Electrolysis is Permanent

Permanent hair removal through electrolysis typically requires multiple sessions over several months. Factors such as hair growth cycles, hormonal fluctuations, and prior hair removal methods can influence the treatment duration. While the overall process may extend up to 18 months, noticeable changes in hair growth and texture are usually observed within a few months of consistent treatments.

Electrolysis is for Everyone

Electrolysis is a versatile hair removal method suitable for individuals of all skin and hair colours, genders, and backgrounds. Consistent treatments generally result in a noticeable reduction in hair growth. The extent of hair reduction and the number of required sessions vary depending on individual characteristics.
