Our Services

At Advanced Permanent Hair Removal, we specialize in electrolysis, which is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal. Electrolysis involves the use of a small electrical current to destroy the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth. We realize that every person is unique, and we take great care to understand each client's hair growth patterns, underlying causes, and treatment goals. After a complimentary consultation, our electrologists will develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs, ensuring the best possible results.

The Electrolysis Process

Electrolysis is a safe and effective method of hair removal that has been practiced for over 140 years. The treatment involves the insertion of a small probe into the hair follicle, followed by the delivery of a small amount of electrical current. The current destroys the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. Over time, the treated hair will fall out, leaving the skin smooth and free of unwanted hair.

Benefits of Electrolysis

Electrolysis offers a range of benefits compared to other hair removal methods. Unlike waxing and threading, electrolysis does not damage the skin, making it a great option for individuals with sensitive skin. Electrolysis also provides permanent results, eliminating the need for ongoing maintenance treatments. Furthermore, electrolysis is a versatile hair removal method that can be used on all skin and hair types, including individuals with darker skin tones or finer hair.

Client Testimonials

We take great pride in the satisfaction of our clients and the life-changing impact that electrolysis can have on their lives. Here is what one of our clients had to say about their experience:

"Joanne Fisher has not only given me my time back by removing my unwanted facial hair but has freed my mind to think about more important things in life other than 'did I miss a hair this morning?' I was not sure if the financial investment would be worth it to begin, to invest in something takes belief and I honestly took a leap of faith and began electrolysis. After the first visit I began to feel less hair and after the 10th visit I began to believe the hair could be gone forever. I slowly began wearing nicer shirts and putting my hair back more and not worrying if I had an extra pair of tweezers in the car for 'that hair'. My skin began to look healthier with less breakouts from ingrown hairs and I began to feel beautiful in my own skin again and not consumed with self-conscious thoughts. Today, almost two years after my first treatment I do not have hair in unwanted places and find it hard to remember the mornings I would sit for 30 minutes in front of the mirror plucking my facial hair before work. You know when you have to do something each day the thoughts that go through your head if you forget or do not have time? Joanne Fisher has given me the freedom to be me in my own skin and control what I want to spend time doing and thinking about, and it is not about removing hair. I thank Joanne for her passion and firm direction for helping me make the decision to commit and invest in myself, she has given me a freedom I will forever be grateful for." - Carrie Swain
