Electrolysis : Permanent Hair-Free Confidence

---

Yes. Electrolysis is the only method approved by the FDA for permanent hair removal. Once a hair follicle has been treated, it cannot grow hair again. This makes it different from laser or IPL, which often only reduce hair growth temporarily.

Most clients describe the feeling as a quick heat or tingling sensation. Some areas are more sensitive than others, but discomfort is usually mild and very tolerable. Many people say it feels like a tiny pinprick.

Because hair grows in cycles, several sessions are needed to treat every follicle effectively. The exact number depends on the treatment area, your hair type, and how consistent you are with appointments. 

Yes. Electrolysis works by targeting the hair follicle directly, so it is safe and effective for all skin types and hair colours—including blonde, red, grey, and white hairs that laser cannot treat.

Electrolysis can treat almost any area of the body, including the face (chin, upper lip, eyebrows), underarms, bikini line, legs, and more. It’s especially popular for small, stubborn patches of unwanted hair.

The most popular area to have treated is the chin.

• Pre-care: arrive with clean skin and avoid tweezing or waxing for at least 2–3 weeks before treatment.
• Aftercare: keep the area clean, avoid touching, sweating, or sun exposure for 24–48 hours, and apply a soothing gel like aloe vera if needed.
• Vivente will email you prior and post session to remind you of best care.
