Considering electrolysis? Do your research before making an appointment. A hasty decision can mean extra sessions, higher costs and unnecessary discomfort.

Know the electrologists qualifications:

Many states require that electrologists be licensed or certified in order to practice electrolysis. For states that do not regulate electrolysis. Look for electrologists who are certified by an accredited electrology school.

Ask around. One of the best ways to find any good service is to ask friends and family. If you know anybody who has undergone electrolysis, ask for his or her input.

Get a consultation. Many places will give you a free consultation.

During the consultation, ask questions like:

• How will the procedure feel?
• How many visits will I need?
• What is the cost per visit?
• What is t he length of each session?
• How long they have been in business?
• How many clients they have treated?
  

Make sure they use needle electrolysis, which is the only permanent form of hair removal, not electronic tweezers or photoepilators. These methods are not permanent methods.

Look around:

• Does the place look clean?
• Do the workers look clean?
• Do they use disposable gloves and probes?
• Does the electrologist strike you as professional?

Comfort in your decision is vital in choosing an electrologist!
