What does Electrolysis Look Like?

electrolysisYou may have heard a lot about electrolysis. You may have also read about what it feels like, what the various methods out there are and how it compares to other types of hair removal. But today we are going to discuss what electrolysis looks like. We will cover topics such as: what is in our office, the room environment, and the physical positioning during treatment. We hope that being aware of this information will offer you an overview of what a typical session is like and help you know what to expect.

When you first arrive, you will be seated briefly in our waiting area. We offer magazines, water and also have a bathroom on site if needed. We will then lead you to our treatment room. Unlike some electrolysis offices that have bright, fluorescent lighting which can feel cold and sterile like a doctor’s office, Limoges Beauty NYC aims to provide a serene, spa-like setting. Upon entering our treatment room, you will notice that it is dimly lit. This helps our clients to feel more calm and relaxed. Additionally, we offer music (from pop to folk to light rock), which is a great tool for allowing our clients to enjoy their session more. Some clients report that their sessions seem to go by faster with music, and some even say they feel less sensation when they are focused on the music. We understand that electrolysis can be nerve-wracking for some clients, so our utmost concern is your comfort and ease.The room has a padded table for clients to lay down on for their treatment. Depending on the area being treated, some clients lay on their backs, some on their stomachs and others on their sides. We may check in with you during the session to make sure you are content with your positioning and we understand if you would like to readjust. Additionally, if you ever bring a friend or partner with you for your session, note that we have an additional chair in our room for guests.

When it comes to keeping our office sanitary, we abide by industry standards for sterilization procedures and ensure the safest environment. For each client, we wear a new facial mask, a new pair of latex gloves and we cover the table with new paper after it has been wiped down. We also use a medical grade autoclave to sterilize tweezers and caps after each use. During treatment, we offer sanitized goggles for any clients having work done on their upper body or face, which will help avoid the bright work light shining in your eyes.

we clean the room throughout the day. We make sure that our floors and equipment materials are kept neat and tidy. We dispose of single use instruments in a medical waste container after each session. We are strict about maintaining a hygienic environment.

Whenever you have any procedure done, be aware of your surroundings. Check for an autoclave, latex gloves, individually wrapped probes, paper towels and a lined wastebasket. Prioritize your health and safety and be sure to talk to us if you have any concerns.

Electrolysis is one of the most safe and effective forms of hair removal. We invest in quality products and sterilization tools to provide you with a clean, professional and comfortable environment. Our clients keep coming back for more! Book at Limoges Beauty NYC today for a consultation.
