Electrolysis by Lydia Waggoner is dedicated to providing you with the gold standard in permanent hair removal. As a licensed and experienced electrologist, Lydia offers personalized treatment plans to address your unique hair removal needs. We believe in taking the time to understand your individual goals and concerns, ensuring a comfortable and effective experience.

The Science Behind Electrolysis

Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. Unlike other methods that temporarily inhibit hair growth, electrolysis destroys the hair follicle at its root, preventing future hair regrowth. A fine, sterile probe is inserted into each individual hair follicle, and a gentle electrical current is delivered. This current damages the follicle's cells responsible for hair production, leading to permanent hair removal. Electrolysis can be effective for all skin types and hair colors, regardless of age.

Treatment Plan for Your Unique Needs

At Electrolysis by Lydia Waggoner, we tailor treatment plans to suit your specific requirements. The process typically involves three stages: clearing, maintenance, and finishing. The initial clearing stage focuses on removing the majority of unwanted hair. The maintenance stage involves regular sessions to target any remaining hairs, and the final finishing stage ensures long-lasting results.

Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle

Hair growth occurs in cycles with distinct phases: anagen, catagen, telogen, and resting. Electrolysis targets hairs during the anagen phase, when they are actively growing. Understanding these growth stages is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of treatment. Through careful assessment and targeted sessions, we can ensure we treat hairs at the optimal stage for permanent removal.

Your Comfort is Our Priority

We prioritize your comfort throughout the entire process. The sensation experienced during electrolysis is often described as a gentle tingling or a slight prickling. Local numbing creams can be used if desired. Lydia will guide you through each step, ensuring a comfortable and successful treatment.

**Before and After Care

**The success of your hair removal journey depends on proper before and after care. Prior to your session, it's recommended to shave or trim the hair you wish to remove 4 to 5 days beforehand. This allows for optimal targeting of growing hair follicles. For optimal results, exfoliating the skin before treatment can help prevent ingrown hairs and ensure easy follicle access. After your treatment, treat the area gently, just as you would a sunburn. Avoid heavy makeup for the first 24 hours and minimize sun exposure.
