EProd Electrolysis

The practice centers on electrolysis, its permanent hair removal method. It is convenient for clients in Fairview, Dickson, Bellevue, Brentwood, Franklin, Spring Hill, Thompson's Station, Centerville and Columbia.

Every new client can start with a free, no-obligation consultation. The in-person visit includes parking, a walkthrough of the procedure with diagrams, a review of medical history and any earlier hair removal, and a test treatment on about ten hairs. A brief phone call beforehand covers specific needs and treatment history. At the in-person visit the technician sets a working point for timing, intensity and modality, then recommends a treatment schedule and aftercare.

Manual thermolysis is the primary technique here, though galvanic and a combined approach are offered when a client's needs call for them. Each treatment uses a single-use, sterile probe that comes sealed in its packaging. According to the practice, its sterilization follows health department rules along with CDC and American Electrology Association guidance. Appointments last between half an hour and sixty minutes, and a follicle typically takes several visits, more so with coarse hair. The business states that electrolysis is the sole FDA-approved permanent hair removal method. It also reports that most clients feel only slight discomfort during manual thermolysis, with mild redness that subsides quickly.

According to the business, electrolysis for permanent hair removal dates to 1875, when Dr. Charles Michel developed the process to treat ingrown eyelashes. The practice treats any hair and skin color, but does not treat genital areas, including Brazilian treatments; those clients are referred to a local electrologist who specializes in that work. It also does not diagnose or treat medical or skin conditions. Success depends on keeping regularly scheduled appointments.

Each client's plan is set at a consultation, with the treatment timing, intensity and modality chosen for their hair and needs, followed by a schedule and aftercare.
