Get answers to common questions about Electrolysis - 15 Mins.

A 15-minute electrolysis session targets small areas like the chin, upper lip, or a few stray hairs on the body. It's best for quick touch-ups; larger areas require longer appointments or multiple sessions for complete removal.

Most clients feel brief stinging or warmth during treatment, but discomfort is usually minimal and manageable. Sessions are short, and topical numbing can be applied if needed. Your practitioner will adjust settings to maximize comfort while ensuring effective hair removal.

Treatment frequency depends on hair growth, density, and previous methods. Many clients need multiple 15-minute touch-ups spaced weeks apart; permanent removal usually requires a course of sessions. A consultation will estimate how many short appointments you might expect.

Do not wax or tweeze before electrolysis; hair must be present in the follicle for treatment. Shaving is okay and often recommended. Arrive with visible hair stubble so your practitioner can effectively treat each follicle during the 15-minute session.

Keep the area clean and avoid sun exposure, harsh products, or hot baths for 24-48 hours. Apply a soothing gel or aloe as directed to reduce redness. Follow practitioner instructions for optimal healing and to prevent irritation or infection.

Electrolysis is safe and effective for all skin tones and many hair types when performed by a licensed specialist. Sensitivity may vary; a patch test or consultation helps determine suitability and settings to minimize risk and achieve best results.
