At Current Electrolysis and Aesthetics, led by owner Cara Marquez, we offer advanced electrolysis treatments to clients in Brentwood, Tennessee, and surrounding areas. Our clinic is dedicated to helping clients achieve smooth, hair-free skin with long-lasting results. In this blog, we’ll discuss the benefits of electrolysis, how to prepare for your session, what to expect during treatment, and how electrolysis works to provide permanent results.

What is Electrolysis, and How Does it Work?

Electrolysis is an FDA-approved, permanent hair removal technique that targets individual hair follicles. The process involves inserting a fine probe into each follicle and delivering a controlled electric current that permanently disables the follicle’s ability to grow hair. Unlike temporary hair removal methods, electrolysis offers a permanent solution, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to reduce or eliminate unwanted hair long-term.

The Benefits of Electrolysis

The main advantage of electrolysis is its ability to provide lasting hair removal results, eliminating the need for ongoing maintenance. Electrolysis works on all skin tones and hair types, making it a more versatile option compared to laser hair removal, which may be less effective on lighter hair. Additionally, electrolysis is safe for virtually any part of the body, including sensitive areas like the face and bikini line. Choosing electrolysis at Current Electrolysis and Aesthetics means investing in a permanent solution that lets clients in Brentwood and nearby areas enjoy freedom from frequent hair removal routines.

Preparing for Your Electrolysis Session

Preparing for electrolysis at Current Electrolysis and Aesthetics is straightforward but important for the best results. To ensure the follicle remains intact for treatment, avoid waxing or plucking the area for at least two weeks prior. On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean, product-free skin. Staying hydrated can also help make the treatment more comfortable, as well-hydrated skin may be less sensitive.

What to Expect During and After Electrolysis

During an electrolysis session at Current Electrolysis and Aesthetics, you may feel a slight tingling or warming sensation as the electric current targets each follicle. Pain tolerance varies, but most clients find the treatment manageable. Session duration depends on the treatment area, with small areas requiring only a few minutes and larger areas taking up to an hour. After treatment, some redness or mild swelling may occur, but these effects typically fade within a few hours. Following aftercare instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and moisturizing the treated area, will support optimal results.
