Transformative Aesthetics provides two categories of hair removal methods performed by experienced providers. We are also one of the few practices that offer pain controlWhether you prefer electrolysis or laser, our experienced providers will find the best approach tailored to you needs.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is the only FDA approved method of permanent hair removal. It involves sliding a tiny probe into a single hair follicle, and destroying the follicle by applying an electric current. At Queen Anne Medical, we use the blend method (combining the galvanic method and thermolysis).

Electrolysis can be done on any area of the body, including the face (e.g., upper lip, chin, beard), breasts, underarms, arms, legs, and genital area. We frequently provide genital electrolysis for transgender women who are preparing to undergo Gender Affirming Surgery (vaginoplasty).

Electrolysis is especially appropriate for very light-colored hair (blond, red, white, gray) that cannot be removed by laser.

Laser

Laser is FDA cleared for permanent hair reduction. Our Vectus laser has two Laser attachments – one large, one small. Positioning the laser attachment on the skin, laser light (single wave length) is then released into the skin – targeting the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles. It is most effective on brown or black hair. 

The Vectus laser is very rapid, and can theoretically treat the entire body in about two hours. (It takes us longer, because we apply skin moisturizing lotion as we go.) Virtually any area of the body can be treated with Laser Hair Reduction.
