Get The Skin You Deserve with Electrolysis
Savannah
Savannah was born and raised in small town Bluefield VA/WV. She moved to Charlotte NC shortly after graduating from Wytheville Community College’s Dental Hygiene Program, with a degree in Dental Hygiene. She took her clinical state board at UNC Chapel Hill’s School of Dentistry and upon passing, she became a Licensed Dental Hygienist.
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, I’m sure many remember that most dental offices began closing their doors until further notice. During this time, with her future as a hygienist in question, Savannah took the time to research other opportunities. She found the world of esthetics and fell in love, then shortly applied to Esthetician School.
Savannah attended the Aveda Institute here in Charlotte and would soon graduate upon completing her 600 hours of schooling. With her background in healthcare, she knew that she wanted to specialize in medical esthetics, working alongside a Plastic Surgeon and/or Dermatologist. Upon graduating and passing her state board exams, she became a Licensed Esthetician.

Frequently Asked Questions
A pre-packaged, sterile probe is inserted into each individual hair follicle, then the current is applied.Â
The BEST time to treat unwanted hair is when it first emerges from the skin's surface and is connected to the blood supply.
Depending on the specific area(s) you are having treated, some tend to be more sensitive than others.
For example, the upper lip tends to be more sensitive than the leg area.
Anywhere there is unwanted hair, excluding inside of the ears and nose.
- Hormones (Ex. PCOS, Menopause, etc.)
- Certain Medications
- Stress
- Genetics
- Pregnancy
- Puberty/ Aging
- Environmental Factors (Ex. Hair grows faster in the summer time.)
- Other means of hair removal (Ex. Waxing and tweezing cause hair to grow deeper, darker and coarser over time.)
- Anagen- In this stage, the hair is at it's deepest and is connected to the blood supply. This stage is optimal for electrolysis hair removal.
- Catagen- In this stage, the hiar begins to separate from the blood supply.
- Telogen- In this stage, the hair is completely separated from the blood supply.
The frequency and number of sessions depend on several factors that go hand-in-hand, such as the area(s) being treated, how fast your hair grows, etc.
It is important to understand that we CANNOT put a time stamp on when each individuals's electrolysis treatment will be complete, which is why following the schedule recommended by your practitioner is so important.
Everyone is different and consistency is key!
It is important to note that we could remove all of your hairs in one area and a few days later, you could see more emerge. This is NOT the same hair(s) that was removed a few days prior, during treatment.
There are anywhere from 500-1,000 hairs, per square inch of the body. Wow, that is A LOT!
If electrolysis is performed correctly, the amount of regrowth should slow and return finer than before, as time and treatments progress forward- until the regrowth stops indefinitely.
- It is VERY important to discontinue waxing, threading, sugaring, tweezing, and use of any chemical depilatories (Ex. Nair) entirely.
- Trimming the hair is acceptable, but it is best to refrain from doing so if possible. (A good rule of thumb- ideal hair for electrolysis is at least the length of a grain of rice.)
- DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. This makes treatment more comfortable for both the client and the practitioner.
- Follow the treatment plan/ schedule designed specifically for YOU.
- Communication between the client and electrologist is key!
- Its important to note, everyone heals differently. Keeping that in mind, some may experience more redness, swelling, and/or tenderness than others.
- When washing the treated area, cleanse gently with a mild cleanser. Pat dry with a clean towel, do not rub.
- Whiteheads or crusts may appear. DO NOT pick at them! This is the body's way of healing. Picking can cause scarring.
- Refrain from any face product, (aside from 100% aloe) this includes makeup, creams, etc for 24 hours.
- Avoid any strenuous activities that can cause excess perspiration, (no saunas, no running, no swimming, no tanning, etc) and limit sun exposure.
- Be sure to wear sunscreen when outdoors. SPF 30 is sufficient, but SPF 50 is strongly encouraged.
