eSkin Hair Removal

The practice performs electrolysis, a method in which a very fine needle is placed into the hair follicle alongside the hair shaft and a small electrical current is applied to destroy the cells that grow the hair. According to the business, treated hairs are permanently destroyed, though new hairs can grow later, so the work is usually planned as a series of sessions.

Before any treatment, clients have a private, confidential consultation, and a treatment plan is designed from it. Sessions are generally weekly or every other week for the first couple of months, then become less frequent and shorter. The business says most people who follow the recommended plan are finished or nearly finished within 18 to 24 months.

A first appointment in a series runs about 15 minutes for a small area and up to an hour or more for a larger one. Sensation is described as a brief heat or sting, with discomfort that is minimal for most people. The electrologist can talk through ways to manage sensation during the session.

Booking is handled by phone, text, or email, with the client's first and last name and insurance provider; the office replies with available times. The business says it is working with local insurers that may cover gender-affirming hair removal for transgender clients. If it is not in network with a client's insurer, clients can pay out of pocket and seek reimbursement. Clients can download and email an electrolysis consent form after scheduling.

The business lists hours of Monday to Wednesday from 9:00am to 5:00pm and Thursday and Friday from 10:00am to 5:00pm. Bus routes 71, 49, and 101 stop on Grant Ave.

Treatment is electrolysis, delivered one hair follicle at a time by a licensed, trained electrologist, with a personalized plan set after a consultation.

Sessions take place in a private office where clients can talk, listen to music, or take breaks as needed.
