Electrolysis by Caroline is run by licensed electrologist Caroline Lyons, who works from a suite on El Camino Real in Belmont. The practice focuses on permanent hair removal and offers it to a wide range of clients, including women, men, teens, trans individuals and people in transition.
The method works by sending a low-level electrical current into each hair follicle. The current heats and cauterizes the follicle, and the hair is then lifted out with sterile tweezers. The business combines electrolysis with thermolysis in its treatments, and it states that electrolysis is the only truly permanent hair removal method and that it is FDA-approved.
Treatment is offered for all hair colors, textures and thicknesses, every skin tone and all ages. Areas treated include the upper lip, chin, jaw, neck, eyebrows, underarms, chest, back, belly, fingers, toes and bikini area. Pain varies by area, and the first appointment covers how long sessions should run, how often to come in and what discomfort to expect.
For comfort, the practice sells a 5% lidocaine topical analgesic in the office, to be applied one hour before a session. Sessions are priced by length, from five minutes up to forty-five minutes. Payment is accepted by all major credit cards, cash, check, Venmo and Apple Pay. The practice is open Monday to Friday from 8 am to 8 pm and on weekends from 9 am to 6 pm.
The practice treats permanent hair removal as its focus, using electrolysis combined with thermolysis and sessions sized to each treatment area.
