About

Take Shape Electrolysis has offered electrolysis in Austin since 1979 and is accepting new patients from the city and surrounding areas. The business describes its hair removal as affordable, effective and gentle, and it gives each client one-on-one attention, shaping treatment around that person's needs.

Electrolysis works by placing a fine, sterilized probe into each follicle along the hair shaft and sending a low level of electrical current through it. According to the site, it is the only method the Food and Drug Administration has approved for permanent hair removal, and the site describes it as a safe and effective method with minimal side effects. The method was discovered more than a century ago by Charles E. Michel, M.D.

A first visit begins with a complimentary consultation and demonstration. Schedules are recommended after that conversation and typically involve weekly sessions of 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the area. Bookings are required, with no walk-ins, and requests come through an online contact form, after which the office calls to confirm. A $50 fee applies to cancellations or reschedules made with less than 24 hours' notice. Aftercare includes avoiding scrubs and astringents for 24 hours, keeping the area clean with mild soap and water, and limiting prolonged sun exposure until the treated area has healed.

Focuses on one-on-one care, with treatment schedules set after a consultation to fit the specific area and the client.
