APEX Electrolysis & Bodywork

Is Electrolysis safe?

Absolutely.  Our office follows the American Electrology Association (AEA) Standards for Infection Control which ensure electrolysis is performed under the highest standards of cleanliness and safety.  We utilize only sterile disposable probes for all treatments and always utilize fresh latex-free medical grade disposable gloves for each treatment.

What do you mean my hair is "resting" under the skin?

What will my skin look like--will everyone know I've been in?  

 Immediately following treatment, there may be a slight redness and/or swelling which usually disappears within a few minutes to a few hours. Though not desirable on face work, small white dots or tiny red dots may occur.  Ideally, by the next day no one should be able to tell you have had treatment.  On body work a pinpoint film or crust may develop.  It is important to remember that scabs are a part of the normal healing process in some people. If this does occur, the client is advised to not pick them off.  Be sure and tell your Electrologist about any skin reactions so they can work with you to minimize their occurrence.   When electrology is administered by a qualified electrologist using state-of-the-art technology and techniques, the results are exciting!
