Lake Electrolysis

Lake Electrolysis focuses on electrolysis, a method of permanent hair removal, at its private studio in Austin. Treatment is done one follicle at a time: a sterile probe is placed in each follicle and a small electric current is applied to disable the growth center. The business says electrolysis treats all skin tones and all hair colors, including blonde, white, and red hair, which it notes laser cannot treat.

A visit usually starts with a free consultation that includes an assessment of skin and hair and a suggested timeline for treatment. There is no commitment required at that stage. Sessions are typically spaced four to eight weeks apart, because each hair goes through its own growth cycle. The number of sessions depends on the area, hair density, and individual growth cycles; the business notes that the upper lip can take 12 to 18 months. Topical numbing is available for sensitive areas.

Sessions are priced by time in 15, 30, 60, 75, and 90 minute blocks. According to the business, the base price is $50 for the first 15 minutes, with $2 added for each minute after that. The business says it responds to inquiries within 24 hours.

The business describes itself as LGBTQ+ affirming and offers gender-affirming treatment as a service category. It also states that it has served more than 500 clients and reports a 5.0 rating on Google reviews; both are the business's own figures. The listing notes a Certified Electrologist credential in Austin, TX.

Each follicle is treated individually with a sterile probe and an electric current, and sessions are timed around each hair's growth cycle.

Treatment takes place in a private studio.
