Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal procedure that involves fine filament needle being inserted into hair follicles and then delivering an electric charge to the surrounding cells. Electrolysis is suited for all hair and skin types, eliminating thin, thick, and coarse hair. Unlike temporary methods, electrolysis stands as the only FDA-approved technique for permanent hair removal. 

Our commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements in electrolysis allows us to offer the most advanced and comfortable treatments available. At Restore and Replenish Salon and Spa we use the Evolution 7HD sequential machine – combines maximum effectiveness with ultimate comfort.  We also use disposable needles to ensure a safe and hygienic environment for every client.

During your initial consultation, we assess your individual needs and design a tailored treatment plan to ensure optimal results.

Say goodbye to unwanted hair and hello to a more confident you. Schedule your free consultation today and embark on the journey to permanent hair removal.
