The Electrology Center

The Electrology Center, located in Wakefield, focuses on electrolysis, which treats hair follicles one at a time to remove unwanted hair. According to the business, electrolysis is the sole method of permanent hair removal that both physicians and licensed electrologists recognize and perform.

During a session, a fine sterile probe is inserted into each follicle down to the papilla, and a low electrical current is applied to stop further hair growth. The business uses single-use sterile disposable needles, each used only once, and says its electrologists keep to the strictest standards of hygiene.

The number of treatments needed varies by client. It depends on the area being treated, how much hair there is, any earlier temporary hair removal methods, genetics and hormones, and on keeping to the scheduled appointments. Free consultations are available and are arranged by phone at 781-245-9276.
