BT Electrolysis

BT Electrolysis is based in Loveland, Ohio, and its electrolysis work is led by cosmetic therapist Tammy Watson. Clients can reach the business by phone or by email to ask questions or schedule.

Electrolysis is offered here for permanent hair removal and works on all hair colors and textures, including gray, white, blonde and red hair. Treatment is timed to the anagen growth phase of the hair, and the number of sessions needed depends on the person and the area.

Every new client starts with a free initial consultation, which reviews medical history because some medical conditions rule out electrolysis. A session covers skin cleansing, hair removal and a cataphoresis treatment at the end, which the business says soothes the skin, reduces redness and kills bacteria. Sessions are priced at $35 for 15 minutes, $59 for 30 minutes, $79 for 45 minutes and $99 for 60 minutes, including 6.75% Clermont County sales tax.

Treatments are done on an Apilus Senior 3G, a 13.56 MHz machine with several hair removal modalities and many programs for different hair colors and textures. The business describes this device as quick, powerful and comfortable, and describes electrolysis as an FDA and AMA approved method for permanent hair removal.

Clients are asked to let hair grow to tweezable length and to avoid waxing or tweezing once treatment starts. Before an appointment, clients arrive with clean skin and no makeup, deodorant or creams on the area. After a session, the business advises avoiding touching or picking the area, and avoiding makeup, sun exposure, tanning beds, swimming and hot tubs for 24 hours. It also recommends a mild astringent such as witch hazel and a cold pack for swelling. Redness, tenderness and swelling are common and vary by person.

Sessions are timed to the growth phase of each client's hair, and the number of visits is set by the person and the area being treated.
