HairFire: Electrolysis At It’s Hottest

Q: Is there an age restriction for electrolysis?

A: I wouldn’t recommend electrolysis until a child is old enough to hold still on their own. Also, it would be helpful for them to understand basically what electrolysis is. Other than being too young, there aren’t any other age restrictions. The oldest person you know of is welcome to have electrolysis done on them, if they’re interested!

As far as women and periods go, increased sensitivity to electrolysis is common.

Pregnant women can still get permanent hair removal, but they must use thermolysis only (a modality of electrolysis involving only heat).
