Our services

New Client Consultation

Required for all new clients. This consultation allows us to assess your skin, hair growth, and treatment goals, review your health history, and create a personalized electrolysis plan to ensure safe and effective results.

Electrology - Face and Body

Permanent hair removal for the face and body using FDA-recognized electrolysis. Safe for all skin tones and hair types. Sessions are customized for smooth, clear, hair-free skin over time.

Electrology - Bikini/Brazilian

Permanent hair removal for the bikini line and intimate areas. Ideal for ingrown hairs and irritation. Performed with precision, discretion, and care for sensitive skin..

Cataphoresis

Cataphoresis is a soothing post-electrolysis treatment that calms the skin, reduces redness, and supports healing. Using a gentle galvanic current, this treatment helps close pores and restore balance, making it especially beneficial for sensitive or reactive skin.

High Frequency

High frequency uses a mild electrical current to oxygenate the skin, reduce acne-causing bacteria, calm inflammation, and support healing. Ideal for acne-prone or congested skin and as a post-treatment add-on.

Electrical skin treatments, including high frequency and cataphoresis, may not be suitable for all clients. Contraindications include pacemakers, implanted medical devices, certain heart conditions, pregnancy, and other medical concerns. A consultation is required to determine eligibility and ensure safe, effective treatment.

Frequently asked questions

TREATMENT EFFECTIVENESS

Q: Does electrolysis work on all skin tones?
A: Yes! Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis is safe and effective for all skin tones and types, with no risk of hyperpigmentation or burns. At Root Remedy, I welcome clients of every skin tone and background.

Q: Can you treat PCOS-related hair growth?
A: Absolutely. Root Remedy specializes in treating hormonal hair growth from PCOS, menopause, and other endocrine conditions. I understand the emotional and physical challenges of hormonal hair and provide compassionate, judgment-free care tailored to your needs.

Q: Does electrolysis work on blonde, gray, red, or white hair?
A: Yes! Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal method that works on ALL hair colors, including blonde, red, gray, and white hair that laser cannot treat. Hair color and texture don't matter.

Q: Is electrolysis really permanent?
A: Yes! Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. Once a hair follicle is properly treated, it cannot produce hair again. Multiple sessions are needed to treat all follicles in their growth cycles, but results are permanent.

Q: How does electrolysis compare to laser hair removal?
A: Electrolysis is the only truly permanent solution and works on all skin tones and hair colors. Laser only works on dark hair and can cause complications on darker skin tones. If you have light-colored hair, darker skin, or conditions like PCOS or hidradenitis suppurativa, electrolysis is often the better choice.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

Q: Can electrolysis help with hidradenitis suppurativa?
A: Yes! Electrolysis can be an effective part of managing hidradenitis suppurativa by permanently removing hair in affected areas, which may help reduce inflammation and breakouts. I work carefully and compassionately with HS clients to provide relief.

Q: I'm going through menopause, can you help with facial hair?
A: Absolutely. Hormonal changes during menopause often cause unwanted facial hair. Electrolysis provides permanent removal regardless of hormonal fluctuations. I understand the frustration and provide judgment-free, effective treatment.

Q: Can I get electrolysis if I'm on hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
A: Yes! Many of my transgender and menopausal clients are on HRT. Electrolysis works regardless of hormone levels, though hormonal changes may affect hair growth patterns. We'll work together throughout your journey.

Q: I have ingrown hairs, can electrolysis help?
A: Yes! Electrolysis can permanently eliminate the follicles that produce ingrown hairs, providing long-term relief. I also use specialized techniques to treat hairs and prevent future ones.

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Q: Do you offer free consultations
A: No, but there is no obligation, just an honest conversation about your options.

Q: How long does each session take?
A: Session length varies based on the treatment area. Facial treatments typically range from 15-60 minutes, while body treatments may be longer. During your consultation, I'll give you a better estimate for your specific needs.

Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: This varies based on the area being treated, hair density, and your individual growth cycles. Most clients need multiple sessions over several months. I'll provide a personalized estimate during your consultation and track your progress throughout treatment.

Q: Does electrolysis hurt?
A: Sensation varies by person and area. Most clients describe it as a quick pinch or slight heat. I use modern equipment and techniques to maximize comfort, and we can adjust settings based on your tolerance. Many clients find it very tolerable.

Q: What should I expect after treatment?
A: You may experience slight redness, minor swelling, or tiny scabs at follicle sites, all normal and temporary. I provide detailed aftercare instructions and products to ensure optimal healing. Most people return to normal activities immediately.

Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: Currently, I do not accept insurance directly. However, some clients have successfully submitted claims for reimbursement, especially when treatment is related to medical conditions like PCOS or hidradenitis suppurativa. I'm happy to provide documentation for your insurance submission.

Q: What forms of payment do you accept?
A: I accept cash, credit/debit cards, Venmo, and CashApp.

INCLUSIVITY & SAFETY

Q: Do you accept LGBTQ+ clients?
A: Yes! Root Remedy is a safe, inclusive, affirming space that welcomes and respects all bodies, backgrounds, and gender identities. I'm honored to support transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse clients in their journey.

Q: Is electrolysis safe for sensitive skin conditions?
A: Yes, with proper protocols. During your consultation, we'll discuss your specific concerns and create a safe, effective treatment plan.

Q: Do you treat men?
A: Absolutely! Root Remedy welcomes clients of all genders. I treat men seeking facial hair shaping, body hair removal, ingrown hair management, and more. Everyone deserves to feel confident in their skin.
