Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal. A licensed electrologist inserts a tiny, sterile probe alongside each hair follicle and delivers a small amount of electrical current to permanently destroy the follicle's ability to regrow hair. Once a follicle is treated it can never produce another hair — making electrolysis the only truly permanent hair removal solution available.

Yes — unlike laser hair removal, which works best on specific skin and hair color combinations, electrolysis is effective and safe for all skin tones, hair colors, and hair textures. Whether you have light, dark, gray, or red hair — and regardless of your skin tone — electrolysis works equally well.

Absolutely. Our licensed electrologists at Nami Skin Care are trained to treat even the most delicate areas of the face and body with precision and care — including eyebrows, upper lip, chin, neck, underarms, bikini line, and more.

Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable electrolysis feels. You may notice a quick, light sensation as each hair is treated, but it’s over in a moment. We always adjust to your comfort and move at a pace that feels right for you. 

The number of sessions varies depending on the area being treated, your hair density, hair growth cycle, and individual skin and hair characteristics. Most clients require a series of treatments over several months to achieve permanent results. During your first visit our electrologists will assess your hair and create a realistic treatment timeline tailored to your goals.

We offer flexible session lengths to fit your schedule and budget:

15 minutes — $50
30 minutes — $70
45 minutes — $90
60 minutes — $110

We also offer prepaid packages — a great way to save on your electrolysis journey. Ask us about our package options when you book.

Laser hair removal uses light energy to target pigment in the hair follicle — which means it works best on dark hair and lighter skin tones and does not work well on gray, blonde, or red hair. Electrolysis uses electrical current to destroy each follicle individually, making it effective for all hair colors and skin tones. Most importantly, electrolysis is the only method recognized by the FDA as truly permanent — laser hair removal is classified as permanent hair reduction, not permanent removal.

Yes — electrolysis is considered safe for pregnant and breastfeeding clients, which is one of the reasons it remains the most universally accessible hair removal option available. We always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider first, and our team will take extra care to ensure your comfort and safety during every session.
