CR Electrolysis & Laser Hair Removal

The practice works by appointment only, and treatments and consultations can be requested by phone or text at 781-724-8409 or by email. A complimentary consultation is offered before treatment. Payment is due at the time of treatment and can be made in cash, by check or through Venmo. Cancellations need 24 hours' notice. Clients under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Electrolysis works by inserting a fine probe into each hair follicle and applying a small current to destroy the cells that grow the hair. The practice offers Shortwave (thermolysis), Galvanic and Blend modalities and adjusts each session to the client's skin and hair type. Electrolysis can be used on most facial and body areas, including eyebrows, chin, lips, underarms, the bikini line, legs and back. It is offered for sensitive areas, darker skin, coarse hair, PCOS or hormone-related hair growth, for men, and for gender affirmation hair removal. Topical anesthetics can be recommended to ease discomfort during sessions. Because hair grows in cycles, most clients need several sessions.

Electrolysis is priced by the length of the session: 10 minutes for $35, 15 minutes for $45, 20 minutes for $55, 30 minutes for $65, 45 minutes for $85, and one hour for $120. Laser hair removal and the skincare services are priced on request by calling the business. Laser hair removal suits larger areas and darker hair, and it can be combined with electrolysis for a wider range of hair types and colors.

Before an appointment, clients are asked to avoid tweezing, waxing and depilatory creams for at least two weeks; shaving is fine. After treatment, some temporary redness, swelling or minor irritation can occur, usually settling within a day. Sun exposure, tanning beds and heavy sweating are best avoided for 24 to 48 hours afterward. The business describes electrolysis as the only truly permanent method of hair removal and says the FDA recognizes it as such; these are the business's own statements.

The skincare menu covers microneedling for skin texture, fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, photo facials using light-based treatment for sun damage, broken capillaries and uneven tone, customized skin rejuvenation for dull skin and signs of aging, and acne clearance for breakouts and inflammation.

The practice emphasizes client dignity, confidentiality, privacy and comfort, and follows American Electrology Association infection prevention standards.
