Yes! Electrolysis is the only hair removal method that works on all hair colors and skin types. It doesn’t rely on pigment like laser hair removal, so it’s ideal for those with gray, blonde, red, fine hair, or areas with tattoos. It’s also effective for clients with darker skin tones or for treating sensitive, hormonal areas like the jawline or abdomen. This makes it one of the most inclusive and versatile options available for permanent hair removal.

Most clients need 8 to 12 sessions to fully eliminate hair in a treatment area. The exact number depends on the size of the area, hair density, and your personal hair growth cycle. Hair grows in stages, and electrolysis must treat follicles in the active (anagen) phase to be most effective. Appointments are typically spaced a few weeks apart. Your electrologist will create a treatment plan based on your individual needs and long-term goals.

Electrolysis feels like a brief heat or pinch sensation at each follicle. Most clients describe the feeling as tolerable, similar to a rubber band snap or light sting. Some areas, like the upper lip or bikini line, may be more sensitive than others. We offer numbing cream for added comfort if needed. After treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, but this usually fades within hours. The payoff? Permanent, hair-free skin.

Side effects are generally mild and temporary. You may notice some redness, swelling, or slight tenderness around treated follicles for a few hours post-procedure. It’s important to avoid activities that increase heat or friction—like intense workouts, tanning, or makeup—for 24 hours after your session. Long-term risks are rare when electrolysis is performed by trained professionals. At L’Elite, we use advanced techniques to ensure your safety, comfort, and optimal results.

Yes—electrolysis is the only method recognized by the FDA as truly permanent. Once a follicle has been fully treated, it will not produce hair again. While some regrowth may occur due to untreated follicles or hormonal changes, this can be addressed with touch-ups. Most clients enjoy long-term results and no longer need to shave, wax, or pluck. It’s a reliable investment in long-lasting confidence and smooth skin.

We offer personalized electrolysis treatments at all three L’Elite MediSpa locations—Brooklyn, Harlem, and Melville. Our skilled electrologists use the latest technology to treat all skin types and hair textures with precision and care. Whether you’re managing facial hair, bikini line fuzz, or full-body grooming, we’ll create a tailored plan to help you achieve smooth, permanent results you’ll love.
