Om Electrolysis

Om Electrolysis works in hair removal only, with two methods: electrolysis, which is performed by electrologists, and laser hair removal, which is performed by laser technicians. Both are offered from the same Fairfax suite.

Every new client begins with a free consultation. During that visit the team talks through the client's goals, estimates how long treatment will take, and proposes a plan built around the areas and amount of hair involved. Pricing is worked out at that stage, based on the treated area, the number of sessions and the time each session needs, so clients see detailed figures before booking. The business says it aims to keep prices competitive without lowering quality.

Electrolysis is described as a method of permanent hair removal. A fine probe is placed into each hair follicle and a small electrical current is applied to stop that hair from growing again. Electrolysis is said to suit all skin types and hair colors, including fine and coarse hair. Sessions run from about 15 minutes to more than an hour depending on the area, and most people need several sessions, with occasional touch-ups as new follicles come through.

Laser treatment uses the Gental Max Pro, a device with a built-in cooling mechanism. Small areas take roughly 5 to 10 minutes, while larger areas can take 30 to 60 minutes or longer. The business notes that laser works best on lighter skin with dark hair, but says it can treat a wider range of skin and hair types. Most clients see significant reduction after 4 to 6 sessions spaced several weeks apart. Laser results are described as near-permanent, with some regrowth possible over time.

Before a laser appointment, clients are asked to avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks, skip topical products, shower and shave the area, and avoid plucking or waxing. Before electrolysis, clients are asked to stay out of the sun and tanning beds and to shave the area a day or two ahead. Clients should tell the team about any medications during the consultation, and the FAQ lists conditions and circumstances in which treatment should wait or be discussed with a healthcare provider first.

The business says its team is highly trained and experienced in electrolysis and focuses on a clean, sterile treatment room and up-to-date equipment.
