King Electrolysis - Permanent Hair Removal Auburn

King Electrolysis treats unwanted hair one hair at a time using electrolysis, with a Newcastle location and an Auburn location. The business says electrolysis works across hair colors and coarseness and on all skin and hair types, and it contrasts this with laser, which it says only reduces growth. It also describes electrolysis as the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal method, which is the business's own claim.

Each treatment is aimed at the growth center of the hair. A fine probe is inserted into the follicle down to the root, and a small electrical current passes through it. The business says the combined heat and galvanic energy breaks down the follicle. It also says most people find the treatment relatively painless. Most clients come once a week, and the number of treatments depends on the person.

Appointments are by appointment only and are made by calling or texting. Sessions are 15 minutes for $50, 30 minutes for $55 and 60 minutes for $75. The business labels the 30-minute session as most popular for routine maintenance and the 60-minute session as most popular for new clients. Clients with heart conditions, metal implants, stimulators or conditions that slow healing need a doctor's note before their first visit. Warts, broken skin, sunburned skin, cold sores and active herpes outbreaks are not treated. The Auburn location is open Tuesday to Saturday from 8am to 5pm and closed Sunday and Monday.

Genital treatments are offered to both male and female clients at $150 per hour. The business lists clients coming from Marin, Contra Costa, San Mateo, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Sonoma, Alameda, Placer, Yolo, Napa and Solano counties, as well as San Francisco.

The business describes electrolysis as a permanent method that treats each hair at its growth center, using a probe placed into the follicle and a combined heat and galvanic current.
