You Are Not Alone & You Deserve to Feel Comfortable in Your Skin
Excess hair is a common concern that affects both women and men—and it's far more typical than you might think. The presence of superfluous or unwanted hair is often influenced by genetics, hormonal fluctuations, certain medications (such as birth control), and even life stages like puberty, pregnancy, or menopause. Additionally, stress can play a surprising role by triggering hormonal responses through the adrenal glands, which may cause fine, light hairs to become darker and more coarse.
At Olysis Med Spa, we understand the emotional weight this concern can carry. That’s why our experienced electrologists provide not only expert care, but also a supportive, judgment-free environment where clients can feel truly seen, heard, and cared for. Regardless of the cause, the good news is that unwanted hair can be permanently removed—safely and effectively.
A Note on Imitation Devices:
While some electronic devices claim to offer permanent results "like electrolysis," the FDA has stated:
“We have not seen any scientifically valid data which establishes differences between energized tweezers and plain tweezers… Any label representations or suggestion that the device will accomplish permanent hair removal misbrands the device and may place it in violation of Federal law.”
For real, lasting results, trust only licensed professionals using medically recognized methods.
Is electrolysis right for me?
Unwanted hair is more common than you might think. In fact, most people—regardless of gender, age, or background—struggle with hair concerns at some point in their lives. Whether it’s due to genetics, hormones, or personal preference, countless individuals turn to electrolysis as the most trusted method for safe, effective, and permanent hair removal.
Electrolysis is uniquely suited for all skin tones, hair types, and treatment areas—making it an ideal solution for anyone seeking lasting results.
Even if you're not concerned about excess hair, precision grooming can make all the difference. We frequently help men refine their beard lines for a clean, polished look—and yes, we can even target those hard-to-reach hairs just under the nose.
Experience the confidence that comes from smooth, perfectly shaped skin—tailored to you.
Electrolysis for Athletes
In an athletic competition, even a fraction of a second can make a difference. A streamlined profile can cut down on wind or water friction, provide a comfortable "feel" during athletic activity, and make hygiene easier. Experts also say that athletes who participate in a sport which produces chafing could find some relief through hair removal. The trend of widespread body hair removal, from back to arm and leg hair to the pubic region—even going totally bare—is most common among swimmers, cyclists, wrestlers, and triathletes. Athletes who turn to hair removal for improved athletic performance may choose to commit to weekly upkeep. But for those who would like the convenience of a permanent solution, electrolysis is the only effective option. Other methods may reduce the amount of hair but only electrolysis provides permanent hair removal.
Electrolysis for teens
Adolescence is a time of transformation—and for many teens, the emergence of unwanted hair can deeply affect self-esteem and body confidence. For teenage girls, it may be fine hair along the cheeks or upper lip. For boys, it might be thick or unshaped eyebrows. Whatever the concern, electrolysis offers a permanent, precise, and safe solution for hair removal at this important stage of life.
At Olysis Med Spa, we regularly work with teens and pre-teens—with parental consent—to treat common areas like the upper lip, chin, cheeks, hairline, neckline, and brows. Treatments are tailored to be gentle, effective, and age-appropriate, helping young clients feel more confident in their skin.
Whether you're a parent seeking guidance or a teen exploring your options, we’re here to help. A personalized consultation will determine if electrolysis is the right fit for your needs.
Electrolysis for men
In both professional and social settings, a well-groomed appearance can make a lasting impression. For some men, excess body hair may feel inconsistent with personal style preferences or a partner’s aesthetic. Whether for clean lines, comfort, or confidence, electrolysis offers a permanent and precise solution tailored to your goals.
​
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Electrolysis is ideal for full-body grooming, commonly referred to as manscaping. We frequently treat:
-
Eyebrows – especially for defining shape or addressing a unibrow
-
Beard lines – sculpting cheeks and neck to reduce shaving and irritation
-
Neckline and jawline – to prevent ingrown hairs and razor bumps
-
Ear, back, and shoulder hair – for a cleaner, more refined silhouette
-
Chest and abdomen – for comfort or competitive grooming
Many athletes and fitness professionals choose electrolysis for smooth, hair-free skin that enhances performance and presentation.
What to Expect During Treatment
Session lengths vary depending on the area and density of hair—ranging from 30 minutes to over an hour. Smaller areas like the ears or eyebrows may require fewer sessions, while larger or denser areas like the back will need more time and consistency. Regularly scheduled appointments yield faster, more permanent results compared to irregular treatments.
Ensuring Quality & Comfort
A licensed electrologist will guide you through every step—explaining the process, recommending a personalized treatment plan, and offering aftercare tips to support proper healing. When done correctly, you won’t feel the probe insertion, and treated hairs should slide out effortlessly. Temporary redness is normal and typically fades within a day. Skin should not feel excessively irritated if post-treatment guidelines are followed.
What About More Intimate Areas?
Yes—electrolysis can be safely and effectively performed in the groin and genital area. Given the sensitivity of these regions, we may recommend starting with other areas first to allow you to get comfortable with the process. Your privacy, safety, and comfort are always our top priority.
For breasts and sensitive areas
Breast treatments are a common area for electrolysis on women of all ages. All hairs can be removed from the breasts; after all, it's not unusual to have hair growing from the areola.
​
Does it hurt?
While the breasts are sensitive to touch, they are not so sensitive to the sensation of electrolysis treatments. Most women are highly motivated to have the hair on their breasts removed and accept the treatments quite well.
​
I've been tweezing those hairs for a long time. How many treatments will it take?
Tweezing does cause hairs to become coarser over time and it hides the true amount of hair you have. All the hairs must grow out before they can be permanently removed, so it is impossible for the electrologist to tell you exactly how many treatments you will need. Be sure to follow the electrologist's recommended schedule of treatments. This is essential in achieving permanency as quickly as possible.
​
I've got a lot of ingrown hairs on my breasts. Will that be a problem?
Repeated tweezing and shaving, plus the fact that clothes are sometimes worn tight over this area, can contribute to hairs being trapped beneath the skin. Ingrown hairs can successfully be eliminated; in time, this will alleviate any irritation you may have experienced.
​
If I'm pregnant, can I have electrolysis treatments on my breasts?
It is generally advised that a woman should not have breast treatments during the last trimester of her pregnancy.
Electrolysis for darker skin
Electrolysis for Darker Skin Tones: Safe, Effective, and Inclusive
​
Many hair removal methods can pose challenges for individuals with darker skin tones—but electrolysis is not one of them. As the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal, electrolysis is effective on all skin tones and all hair types.
​
Unlike laser hair removal, which relies on contrasting pigment between skin and hair, electrolysis works by targeting the follicle directly at the root. Your electrologist simply locates the natural opening where the hair emerges—making color contrast unnecessary. No matter your skin tone or hair color, electrolysis offers a precise and reliable solution.
​
Will Electrolysis Cause Dark Spots on My Skin?
​
For those with darker skin, it’s possible to experience temporary hyperpigmentation—similar to the brief redness lighter skin types may encounter. If you’ve been tweezing or waxing, irritation from those methods can also contribute to dark spots. These are a natural part of the healing process and typically fade with time.
We advise against using bleaching creams, as they can lead to hypopigmentation (light spots) once the skin has fully healed. Your electrologist can recommend soothing aftercare products to support healthy recovery and help restore even skin tone more quickly.
​
Why We Ask About Piercings or Scars
​
Darker skin can be more susceptible to a type of scarring known as keloids. To ensure your treatment is both safe and effective, your electrologist may ask about any history of keloid formation, including how your skin reacted to piercings, tattoos, or vaccinations. This information allows us to tailor your treatment plan with care and precision.
Electrolysis for curly, wavy or coarse hair
Have you been told that your hair type or skin tone is the reason you're not a candidate for hair removal? It's time to talk to Hair Today Gone Tomorrow about electrolysis.
​
Why is curly or coarse hair a problem?
Curly hair is more prone to become ingrown or cause raised bumps on your skin. Coarse hair gets stuck underneath the skin. Attempting to manage these problems by temporary methods such as depilatories, shaving, or tweezing can just make them worse, causing scarring or discolored areas. These methods are very hard on your skin.
​
What does electrolysis do?
Electrolysis safely and permanently removes ingrown hairs and the curly, coarse hairs that tend to damage your skin without creating issues that occur with tweezing and other temporary methods of hair removal.
​
LGBTQ+ electrolysis
Beauty. It's a concept everyone understands, yet it's expressed differently by each individual. Your own sense of personal beauty is based on your insight into who you uniquely are, which can include a gender transition or other grooming routine that involve hair removal. The electrologists at Unique Spa Services & Hair Today Gone Tomorrow Electrolysis absolutely understand. We take pride in helping you live out your choices and in a safe and private environment. As electrologists with transgender and LGBTQ+ experience, we're here to help you love the skin you're in.​
​
Can electrolysis remove hair in the genital area?
Yes. However, your electrologist may ask which surgeon you are working with in order to follow his/her pre-surgical protocols. It is important to allow sufficient time prior to surgery to complete genital hair removal in order to prevent future ingrown hairs internally.
​
Why does the electrologist need to know what protocol or program I'm on?
​We take your need for comfort and confidence in your own skin seriously. It is important to ensure that your electrolysis treatments occur at the right point in your process and in a way that works in concert with your health and long-term goals.
Electrolysis for hormone imbalance or PCOS
Hormonal changes and conditions account for many problems besides unwanted hair. The cause can be related to puberty, menopause, pregnancy, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), an underlying medical condition, your genetic makeup and even some medications. You may want to see an endocrinologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. For the hair, the solution is electrolysis.
​
“Why am I suddenly growing coarse chin hair at 40?”
​
You’re not alone—and you're not doing anything wrong. Unexpected hair growth, especially in areas like the chin, can feel alarming. At your consultation, we’ll review a detailed health history to better understand the possible triggers. While electrologists cannot diagnose medical conditions, they are trained to recognize patterns and ask the right questions to support meaningful conversations with your healthcare provider.
Factors like hormonal changes, thyroid or metabolic imbalances, PCOS, certain medications, or simply genetics can all play a role. Regardless of the cause, the good news is that electrolysis offers a permanent solution to remove the unwanted hair safely and effectively.
​
“I’ve always had facial hair—I used to think I was the only one.”
​
You are definitely not alone. Many individuals—more than most would guess—struggle with unwanted facial and body hair. In fact, many professional electrologists have personally undergone electrolysis themselves. That first-hand experience brings an extra level of empathy, understanding, and care to every treatment. You are seen, understood, and supported here.
​
“Doctors keep telling me to lose weight and my periods will normalize… but I can’t seem to, and I’m covered in hair. What’s going on?”
​
You may want to speak with an endocrinologist, a specialist in hormonal health. When symptoms like weight challenges, irregular menstrual cycles, and hair growth on the face, chest, or abdomen occur together, they may indicate Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)—a common but often misunderstood condition.
While only a medical professional can diagnose PCOS, your electrologist can help you manage one of its most frustrating symptoms: excess hair growth, which can be permanently removed with electrolysis.
​
“What is the treatment for PCOS?”
​
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution—treatment depends on your symptoms and individual needs. Your physician may suggest lifestyle changes, medications, or hormone-regulating treatments. If weight management is part of your plan, a balanced, diabetic-style eating approach focused on low-glycemic, complex carbohydrates is often recommended.
For hair removal, electrolysis remains the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal, regardless of your diagnosis.
​
“But my bloodwork came back normal—how can that be?”
​
It’s possible that your hormone levels fall within the standard range—but that your body is more sensitive to those levels. As Dr. Jeffrey Redmond, a New York endocrinologist, notes: “Normal doesn’t always mean normal for you.”
If you feel something is still off, trust your instincts and advocate for further evaluation. Keep the conversation going with your endocrinologist—you deserve answers and support.
​
“Can electrolysis help with both chin hair and acne?”
​
Yes! Many women with chin hair also experience acne in the same area—often aggravated by tweezing or waxing, which can irritate the skin, cause inflammation, or lead to ingrown hairs. These methods can even cause hair to grow back coarser over time.
By stopping tweezing and switching to electrolysis, you allow the hair to be removed at the root, without trauma to the surrounding skin. Clients often see improvement in their skin clarity once they begin electrolysis and allow the area to heal.
