Try These During Your Electrolysis Treatment
What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis uses a form of electrical epilation were a needle is inserted into the hair follicle and a minimal amount of current is delivered to the root of the hair in an effort to destroy it. Using a method called Thermolysis Electrolysis, a shortwave radio frequency/alternating current is produced inside the follicle to heat within the hair and damage the cell that generates hair growth. This process will only treat the targeted hair and therefore is a non-invasive and a more direct route to remove unwanted hair. Electrolysis is the only FDA – approved permanent hair removal treatment. Any hair colour can be treated on any skin tone because electrolysis does not depend on pigment.
Electrolysis is charged by the minute + a disposable needle fee for each treatment. Spectrum offers the following time blocks for Electrolysis.
Needle Fee (attached to all appointment time blocks): $10
15 minutes of Electrolysis: $22.50
30 minutes of Electrolysis: $45.00

“I can’t possibly recommend Melanie at Spectrum enough! The environment is so cozy and I always look forward to going. I had been elsewhere in the city for laser hair removal for a long time with little luck, and I’ve seen amazing results with Spectrum after just a few appointments. Absolutely love it here!!”
