What
is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is the PERMANENT removal of unwanted
hair. It is accomplished by inserting a fine, sterile filament into the natural
hair follicle of the skin. Electrical current is administered into the hair
follicle via this filament. The hair-nourishing cells are permanently
destroyed by the action of the electrical current.
|
|
Is Electrolysis Painful?
This depends on the individual’s level of
sensitivity. Some sensation is to be expected.
|
|
How Many Treatments are Required?
The number of treatments depends on each individual.
The texture and density of hair, the amount of moisture in the skin, and
the hair growth cycle impact the number of treatments.
|
|
Will the Hair Re-grow When I Am Done With My Treatments?
No, Electrolysis is PERMANENT hair removal. Once a
hair is permanently removed it cannot ever re-grow. Re-growth is often confused
with new hairs growing out of separate follicles as a result of hormonal
changes.
|
|
Why do I have Excess Hair?
Some of the common causes of excessive hair growth are
endocrine imbalances, hormonal imbalances, medications, genetics and
stress.
|
|
Will My Treatments Be Confidential?
Your treatments will be treated with the utmost
privacy throughout and after your treatments.
|
|
Do You Have Physician Referrals?
Yes, please call for referrals.
|
|
Can Any Area of the Body Be Treated?
In the state of California
any area of the body can be treated with the exception of inside the nose
and inside the ears. Hair can be removed from a mole with a
Physician’s written approval.
|
|
Do You Offer a Consultation?
Yes, a complimentary consultation is offered which includes
a demonstration of the treatment.
|
|
What Method of Sterilization Do You Use?
The filaments that are inserted into the hair follicle
are purchased pre-sterilized in a sealed plastic bubble.
|
|
How Do Your Facials Differ From Spa Facials?
Our facials are clinical in nature. We address
anti-aging, wrinkle reduction and acne treatment without using massage.
|
|
What
is Botox® Cosmetic?
Botox Cosmetic is a purified
protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum
bacterium. It binds to the nerve endings and prevents the release of
chemical transmitters that activate muscle activity. It is a non-surgical,
physician administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to
severe lines which have been caused by muscle activity.
|
|
When will I notice results from a Botox® Cosmetic treatment? How long do
the results last?
Most
people notice improvement in 3-7 days after their treatment. Lines
continue to improve for up to a month, and results last for up to 4
months. If you discontinue treatment, the lines will gradually look
like they did before treatment.
|
|
Who administers your Botox® Cosmetic treatments?
All Botox Cosmetic
treatments are administered by a physician.

|
What is Restylane® and Juvederm®?
They are natural
cosmetic dermal fillers that restore volume and fullness. They are
composed of non-animal stabilized hyaluronic
acid, a substance found naturally in the human body.
|
|
Does Restylane® and Juvederm® require
pre-testing?
No, as they are free
from animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease
transmissions or development of allergic reactions to animal
proteins.
