Many people need treatment at some point in their lives for different reasons. The physical and psychological benefits of permanent hair removal are very rewarding. It is our wish that the information that follows will help relieve your anxiety about seeking to solve your hair problem.., Permanently.
| Does it hurt? |
| |
Basically, Laser & Electrolysis are both comfortable procedures. Occasionally, due to the proximity of certain nerves or the sensitivity of certain areas, some discomfort may be experienced. However, with ELECTROLYSIS there is normally the equivalent of a pin prick or slight sudden warmth. There are various techniques we utilize to ensure a comfortable treatment. |
| Is it permanent? |
|
Electrolysis is the only permanent method of removing hair. When the papilla has been treated properly, it can never again grow hair. The fact that we are treating second and third generations in many families, can attest to this. All other forms of hair removal are only temporary. |

|
This is a very difficult question to answer for the following reasons, all of which effect hair growth:
All temporary methods involve cutting or pulling. What you did previously will determine the amount of time needed.
What type of hair do you have? Wavy, straight, thick, coarse, fine, or curly it does make a difference.
Is your skin overly sensitive? Can we proceed at a normal or slower pace?
The cause of your hair growth and the regularity of treatments. |
| Does each patient get their own probe? |
|
Patients are not required to buy or keep their own probes. Each patient is treated with a sterile disposable probe. |
| What type of sterile procedures apply to Electrolysis? |
|
The same sterile procedures utilized in any medical office are what you can expect in an Enhancement Unlimited office. |

| Can ingrown hair be removed from a male beard? |
|
A constant irritant to the shaving male is the ingrown hair, sometimes causing pustules and infections. Removing these hairs permanently is the only answer. |
| Is Laser or Electrolysis expensive? |
|
Great consideration must be given to the qualifications of your chosen specialist. Equally important are the sterile procedures and the professional office you are treated in. The temporary methods used over the years to remove that unwanted hair will be more costly in the long run, not to mention the worry and aggravation that accompanies excess hair.
