Electrolysis of Frederick

Electrolysis of Frederick is a permanent hair removal practice in Suite G1 of the Frederick Medical Center, on the far side of the center's one-way, U-shaped drive. The business describes itself as a leading provider of professional permanent hair removal. It is owned by Sally McAleer, who holds LE, LEI and CPE credentials, and two licensed electrologists work there.

Every new client starts with a consultation, even someone with past electrolysis experience. After booking, a follow-up call or text confirms the appointment. Treatment is planned individually, taking into account each client's genetic background and how their hair has grown over time. Clients who wax or tweeze are asked to stop and trim the hair instead, and to let it grow about 1/8 inch, usually 24 to 48 hours, before a visit.

Treatment is available across most of the body, including the face, underarms, arms, legs, chest, back, bikini line and toes. The only areas not treated are the inside of the nose and the inside of the ears. Electrolysis is offered regardless of hair or skin color, according to the business's FAQ. The business describes the environment as welcoming to everyone.

Insurance is not accepted at this time, but the office provides documentation for clients to submit to their insurer after approval. Some health savings accounts may cover treatment, and clients are encouraged to check with their provider. Orders of $50 or more can be paid over time. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Discover, Visa, MasterCard, debit card, cash and check.

Appointments can be booked online. Cancellations need at least 48 hours notice to avoid a charge, and a missed appointment without notice is charged the same fee as a full treatment. The business is open Monday through Saturday, with hours that vary by day, and is closed on Sundays. Parking is free and usually easy to find, disabled access is available, and the business is listed as LGBTQIA friendly and kid friendly.

Each client receives a personalized treatment plan that considers genetic background and historical hair growth patterns.
