Treatment Length
15-60 minutes, depending on the amount of hair growth.
Recovery Time
0-1 days. The treated area may present some mild swelling and bumps caused by the heat from the treatment. This usually subsides in a couple of hours but the Dermalux phototherapy is recommended for faster healing.
Frequency of Maintenance
Clients may require multiple treatments to completely destroy all the unwanted facial growth as hair growth cycles will very depending on past methods used to epilate/remove the hair from the face. Regular treatments will destroy all the active follicles that may present in the anagen phase.

true Permanent Hair Removal.
We have paired the two best technologies for the most effective permanent hair removal results.
Electrolysis in Oswego is the only method FDA approved to be 100% permanent. Electrolysis in Oswego yields permanent hair removal and clients may expect to see results immediately following just a couple of treatments, and permanence will vary based on how frequently the treatment is repeated as well as the amount of hair.
Our difference? advanced technology, unmatched precision.
Advanced research has introduced newer techniques and modalities in electrolysis.
We use the Apilus Platinum & Apilus Excel Pur devices which function at an ultra rapid 27 MHz frequency to permanently destroy all hair types. With optimized energy concentration in the follicle, the growth cells coagulate quicker for a more comfortable and effective treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does electrolysis hurt?
Electrolysis in Oswego is mildly uncomfortable, depending on the tolerance of every individual. Clients report feeling a sharp sting during the process of insertion and pulsing of the current.
How long of a session should I book when making an appointment online?
The amount of time needed for a particular electrolysis treatment is dependent on how much hair growth is presently on the surface of the skin. It is best to schedule a consultation first so the electrologist may determine how lengthy your sessions need to be.
What is the difference between electrolysis & laser, which one is truly permanent?
Where laser uses a monochromatic beam of light to directly target a specific pigment within the dermis, electrolysis is blind to pigment as each hair follicle is manually targeted using a fine probe (inserted parallel to the hair shaft). Both treatments will yield permanent results when performed correctly. Laser may not be ideal for fine, light, non-pigmented hair, but electrolysis will work on all types of hair.
What is the best method to treat unwanted facial hair?
When treating facial hair it is so important to understand how laser may interact with fine, vellus, non-pigmented or pigmented hair. Understanding laser physics can help you understand when it is better to choose electrolysis over laser treatments. Finer hair, even if dense and darkly pigmented, will not provide an adequate surface area for the laser beam to focus on. Since the spread of thermal coagulation is relative to the size of the hair, finer hair may not respond well to a laser treatment.
