Anderson Electrolysis

Anderson Electrolysis works by appointment only, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, at its Sandy Springs Road location. It accepts new clients who are women or men and treats the upper lip, chin, eyebrows, bikini line, back and legs, among other areas. A free consultation can be arranged in person or by text. The business states its goal is high-quality hair removal with a focus on quality and client satisfaction.

According to the salon, electrolysis inserts a thin sterile probe into each follicle and sends a short electrical pulse that disables it, after which the loose hair is lifted out. The salon says the method suits fair, silver, ginger and white strands as well as every skin tone. Visits usually last between half an hour and an hour, depending on the zone. Since a follicle can only be treated while it is actively growing, most people book several appointments across a few months. The equipment is computer-controlled, and every probe is single-use and sterile.

The business describes electrolysis as the only hair removal method it recognizes as permanent by the FDA and AMA, and calls its treatments physician approved, CDC compliant and the gold standard for permanent hair removal. Its site also displays an FDA Approved badge.

Before a first visit, clients are asked to avoid waxing, plucking and threading for at least two weeks, including between sessions; shaving is fine. Hair should be left to grow about two to three days, and the area should arrive free of lotions, oils, makeup and deodorant. Clients may feel a quick warmth or mild sting during treatment, and mild redness or minor swelling afterward usually fades within a few hours. For 48 hours afterward, direct sun and tanning beds are avoided, and for 24 hours heavy exercise and sweating are avoided. A fragrance-free moisturizer is recommended.

Built around electrolysis as its core method, with a stated focus on high-quality hair removal and client satisfaction.
