  • Electrolysis is the only FDA approved permanent hair removal method. It works on all hair types, colors, and skin tones.

    ✔ Permanent Results

    Once a hair follicle is treated and destroyed, it will not grow back.

    ✔ Works on All Hair Types

    Blonde, gray, red, light, coarse, or fine — electrolysis works where laser cannot.

    ✔ Safe for All Skin Tones

    Electrolysis does not rely on pigment, making it safe and effective for every complexion.

    ✔ Precision Treatment

    Perfect for delicate or small areas like:

    • Face & chin

    • Upper lip

    • Brows

    • Areola

    • Fingers & toes

  • Electrolysis is a safe and effective method of permanent hair removal. It works by inserting a fine probe into the hair follicle and delivering a small electrical current. This is to destroy the hair growth cells. Over time, the follicles will stop producing hair.

    Unlike temporary methods, electrolysis treats the root cause of unwanted hair — not just what you see on the surface.

    ✔️ Effective on all hair colors
    ✔️ Safe for all skin tones
    ✔️ Suitable for all body areas

  • Electrolysis is the only permanent method of hair removal, but hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are required to fully eliminate unwanted hair.

    Most clients need a series of treatments over time, typically ranging from 6 months to 18 months, depending on:

    • The area being treated

    • Hair thickness and density

    • Hormones and medical factors

    • Consistency of appointments

    • Previous hair removal methods (waxing, tweezing, etc.)

    Because only hairs in the active growth phase can be permanently treated, repeated sessions are necessary to target each hair at the right stage.

    Many clients begin to see noticeable reduction within the first few months, with hair becoming finer, lighter, and slower-growing over time.

    During your consultation, Gabrielle will evaluate your specific situation and provide a personalized treatment plan and realistic timeline.

  • Most clients experience some level of sensation, but it is usually very manageable. Electrolysis is often described as a brief feeling of heat, tingling, or a tiny pinch.

    Comfort varies depending on:

    • The treatment area (some areas are more sensitive than others)

    • Your personal pain tolerance

    • Hydration, stress, and time of day

    • Hormonal timing (some clients are more sensitive at certain times)

    At Glow by Gabrielle, your comfort is a priority. Gabrielle creates a calming, spa-like environment to help you relax during treatment, including:

    • Dim, soothing lighting

    • Music tailored to your preference

    • Stress balls and comfort aids

    • Gentle, attentive technique and pacing

    Many clients find that discomfort decreases as they become used to the sensation, and sessions often become easier over time.

    If you are concerned about sensitivity, a topical numbing cream may be used before your appointment (ask Gabrielle for recommendations).

    Most importantly, treatments are very tolerable for the vast majority of clients — and the results are permanent.
