Common Electrolysis Treatment Areas

Electrolysis works on all skin and hair types. It can be applied to most facial and body parts, including eyebrows, chin, upper and lower lip, jaw line and sides of the face, breast, underarms, abdomen, bikini line, feet, legs, and back. Based on a personal and confidential consultation, your electrologist will design a treatment plan that addresses your specific hair removal needs.

Permanent hair removal for women

Hair removal for women

Almost all areas of the body can be subject to unwelcome hair growth. For women, the unwanted hair on commonly visible areas, like the face, usually takes priority.

Hair growth in the chin, upper lip, jaw, and throat areas is usually caused by hormones, whether imbalanced or not. Genetics and medications can also cause excess hair on the face and on body areas such as the chest, breasts and abdomen.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Chin
  • Jawline
  • Upper lip
  • Throat
  • Sides of face
  • Eyebrows
  • Chest
  • Abdomen
  • Breasts
  • Bikini lines
  • Underarms
  • Hairline
  • Fingers and toes

Hair removal for men

For many men, temporary hair removal regimens are essential to attaining a well-trimmed look. Frequently, excess hair on your back or shoulders, around the ears or between the eyebrows grows back faster than you can remove it. Or perhaps you are a competitive athlete for whom regular body hair removal is a necessary chore.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Back (including shoulders & torso)
  • Ears
  • Eyebrows
  • Cheeks (to clean up beard line)
  • Neckline
  • Nape
  • Hands / Feet

Common treatment areas include:

  • Back (including shoulders & torso)
  • Ears
  • Eyebrows
  • Facial Hair
