Electrolysis
Electrolysis targets each individual hair follicle with a precise, tiny current to safely stop regrowth, delivering truly permanent results. It is effective on all hair types and skin tones, making it the gold standard for areas like the chin, upper lip, bikini line, and underarms. If you’re tired of shaving, waxing, or constant maintenance, this FDA-approved method is your long-term solution for smooth skin.
By using a precise microcurrent to target each follicle, electrolysis safely prevents hair from growing back, regardless of hair color, skin tone, or treatment area.
At Skin Studio by Doctor’s Daughter, our licensed electrologists provide gentle, effective treatment designed for lasting smoothness and confidence.
How It Works
A fine, sterile probe is inserted into the hair follicle, delivering a quick pulse of energy that disables the hair follicle. Each hair is then removed without resistance, preventing future regrowth.
Electrolysis is ideal for:
- Chin + upper lip
- Brow shaping/strays
- Nipples, bikini line, underarms
- Fingers, toes, and small precision areas
- Individuals who cannot have laser due to hair color or skin type
