Love the results, love the personal experience. Set aside some “me time” for electrolysis permanent hair removal and leave radiating confidence!
We are an independent electrolysis provider owned and operated by Janna Wilkinson, a Certified Clinical Electrologist. Based out of our clinic in South Calgary, we offer permanent hair removal and specialize in unwanted women’s hair, and we are licensed by the City of Calgary & Alberta Health Services.
Our success has been built by being much more than just an electrolysis clinic; Janna offers a warm and personable hair removal experience. We understand that hair removal carries significant weight for many women, and Janna’s desire is to not only provide superb permanent hair removal results, but to fill each member of her hair removal family with a revived sense of confidence and self-esteem!
Electrolysis has been practiced for over 130 years and is the only proven method of achieving fully permanent hair removal; once your electrolysis treatments are complete those hairs will never have to be treated again.
Electrolysis works by carefully inserting a hair-thin metal probe into the unwanted hair follicle. A mild electrical current is then sent through the probe into the root of the hair. This current kills the root, causing the individual hair to fall out of the follicle. After repeated treatments, these roots are destroyed entirely and the hair is permanently removed.
While the electrolysis process may sound intimidating, the treatment is typically almost entirely painless. There are many different electrolysis machines, but Janna chooses to use the Apilus Senior 3G, which is recognized internationally for its power, comfort and effective results. In partnership with her machine, Janna is careful to practice quick yet gentle insertions, and is attentive to the individual needs and tolerances of each woman she treats.
Electrolysis vs Laser Hair Removal
While many women and men see results from laser hair removal—some more than others—laser is not a proven method of permanent hair removal and is instead just an effective method of long term hair reduction.
The process of laser hair removal involves exposing the unwanted hairs to a light laser that kills the follicle. This laser works by targeting pigment in the hair caused by melanin. Thus laser hair removal works best on individuals with dark, coarse hair and fair skin.
Even under ideal conditions, however, most patients will experience partial to complete regrowth of the treated hair within a matter of years. Electrolysis, on the other hand, works on all hair types with no regrowth after completed treatments.
Each woman’s hair is entirely unique and will therefore have unique needs. While some hair — such as facial, neck, breast, arm, hand & feet, and stomach — will typically respond quicker to electrolysis treatments and therefore require less time to achieve permanent hair removal results, other hair — such as underarm, pubic, leg, and back — may be more stubborn and thus require more treatments. Because of this we’re unable to provide an estimate of required electrolysis treatments, but after your first session Janna will have a greater understanding of your hair’s specific needs.
