Dawn Goldberg Electrolysis

Dawn Goldberg Electrolysis is located at 75 Prospect Street in Huntington, New York. The practice is run by Dawn Goldberg, who is its owner and sole electrologist, and it focuses on electrolysis for permanent hair removal.

The practice removes hair from almost any area of the body except the inside of the nose, the inside of the ears, and moles. Treatment areas include the chin, upper lip, eyebrows, underarms, bikini line, abdomen and breasts, and the practice says every skin and hair type can be treated. According to the practice, the FDA and the American Medical Association regard electrolysis as the sole permanent hair removal method, with other methods classed as temporary. Each client's treatment schedule is planned individually. Many clients start with visits once a week or once every two weeks, and the gap between appointments usually grows as treatment continues. To ease discomfort, the practice provides ice, numbing cream and over-the-counter pain relievers, and numbing cream by Zensa is sold on site. Clients receive guidance on getting ready for a session and on aftercare. For facial treatments, aftercare involves cleansing with witch-hazel that contains 14% alcohol, then applying a healing lotion from the aftercare kit each morning for two days. New clients must book their first appointment by calling 516-580-0811. Bookings are taken for Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Sessions cost $60 for 15 minutes, $90 for 30 minutes, $115 for 45 minutes and $140 for 60 minutes.

Treatment frequency is set case by case, with visits typically starting weekly or every other week and becoming less frequent over time.
