Advantage Electrology

Janice Corwin opened Advantage Electrology in October 2000 at its current Millis location. She is the owner and performs every treatment at the practice, and the space is described as clean, comfortable and private, with a first-floor accessible entrance and free off-street parking.

Electrolysis works by using a fine, sterile probe to destroy the hair follicle, and the practice offers it across a wide range of areas, including the face, chest, abdomen, underarms, hands, feet and all other body parts. Each client begins with a free personal consultation, where a treatment plan is designed. Sessions run from 15 minutes to an hour, and fees are based on the length of time booked. Discomfort is described as minor for most people, and some clients may notice redness that generally fades within a few hours; the electrologist provides aftercare instructions to help with this. Sensitive clients may use an over-the-counter pain reliever or a topical anesthetic ointment about 30 minutes before a session.

The practice presents itself as personal and private and describes itself as LGBTQ+ friendly. Treatments are by appointment only, with payment due at the time of service in cash or personal check.

The practice treats electrolysis as its method for permanent hair removal and describes it as suitable for light or dark hair and all skin types. Each client's plan is designed during a free personal consultation.
