If you’ve been dealing with unwanted facial hair on your chin, upper lip, jawline, or neck, electrolysis offers a permanent hair removal option that can be tailored to your individual needs.
At HAUS of Umage in Bountiful, Utah, I work with clients who want to move beyond the ongoing maintenance of shaving, tweezing, and waxing. Some are dealing with a handful of coarse hairs that keep returning, while others have experienced changes in their facial hair growth with age or hormones.
My approach begins with understanding your concerns and determining how we can work toward your goals. Every client’s hair growth is different, which is why I take the time to develop an individualized treatment plan rather than give everyone the same expectations.
facial hair treatment areas
Most of my facial electrolysis appointments focus on the chin, upper lip, jawline, and neck. These are areas where unwanted hair can become particularly frustrating, especially when someone has spent years checking the mirror or removing individual hairs as soon as they appear.
I also treat stray hairs on the cheeks and around the sideburn area, along with conservative eyebrow shaping for clients who want precise, permanent removal of selected hairs.
Electrolysis treats individual follicles, allowing me to focus on the specific hairs you want removed while preserving the surrounding hair.
who is facial electrolysis for?
I see clients with a wide range of facial hair concerns. Some have recently started noticing coarse chin hairs, while others have been managing unwanted facial hair for decades.
Electrolysis is especially useful for people with white, gray, blonde, or red hair because it works directly within the follicle rather than depending on hair pigment. This makes it an option for people whose hair is too light for conventional laser hair removal to target effectively.
I also work with clients who have previously tried laser and still have unwanted facial hair, as well as people dealing with ongoing hormonal hair growth.
If you’ve already invested in laser treatments and still have unwanted hair, my guide to electrolysis after unsuccessful laser treatment explains another option for addressing the hairs that remain.
And if you’ve been told that your hair is too light for laser, you may find my article about electrolysis for white or gray facial hair helpful.
What to expect at your first electrolysis appointment
I place a lot of importance on the first appointment because the information we discuss helps shape how I approach your treatment.
When you arrive at my studio, we’ll begin with a detailed health questionnaire and treatment consent documents. The questionnaire will ask about your medical history, medications, previous cosmetic treatments, skincare products, and how you’ve been managing your hair growth.
Each question serves a purpose. Certain medical conditions, medications, implanted devices, or recent treatments may affect how I approach electrolysis or whether additional precautions are necessary.
With the completed documents in hand, we’ll review your health questionnaire answers together before going through the treatment consent documents. I explain how electrolysis works, what you may experience during treatment, possible side effects, and the importance of following appropriate pre-treatment and aftercare instructions.
I also spend time discussing hair growth cycles and realistic treatment expectations. I want you to understand why permanent hair removal generally requires multiple appointments and why hormonal influences can affect your long-term treatment plan.
Once we’ve finished reviewing everything and I’ve answered your questions, we’ll begin treatment.
your first appointment includes treatment
I offer two consultation options, depending on how much treatment time you’d like during your first visit.
Consultation + 20-Minute Treatment
This option is ideal for clients who are new to electrolysis or would prefer to begin with a shorter treatment session. It gives us an opportunity to evaluate how your skin responds, establish appropriate device settings, and begin treating unwanted hairs.
Consultation + 50-Minute Treatment
This option is designed for clients who would like a longer treatment session during their first appointment. It can be particularly useful for people who are familiar with electrolysis, have received electrolysis before, or who have a larger amount of hair they want to begin addressing.
Both options include the consultation process and an electrolysis treatment.

a personalized approach to permanent hair removal
One of the most important things I explain to clients is that permanently treating individual follicles and preventing the body from developing new hair two are different things.
When the hair-producing structures within a follicle have been successfully destroyed, that follicle can no longer produce hair. However, hormonal changes and other factors may cause previously inactive follicles to begin producing noticeable hair over time.
That distinction plays an important role in how I develop treatment plans.
Someone with a few coarse chin hairs may have a very different treatment journey from someone experiencing extensive facial hair growth associated with ongoing hormonal changes.
I consider the amount of hair we’re treating, its characteristics, how the skin responds, and the treatment methods appropriate for the individual.
My goal is to help you understand what we’re working toward and why your appointment schedule may change as treatment progresses.
For clients experiencing ongoing hormonal hair growth, I may also encourage medical evaluation or management when appropriate. Electrolysis can address unwanted hairs, while a healthcare professional can evaluate underlying medical factors that may be contributing to new growth.
what clients have shared about their experience
I take pride in the relationships I’ve developed with my clients and the trust they place in me during treatment.
One client, Kristine D., shared:
“I especially appreciate that he worked out a custom plan for me , tailored to my wants and needs.” (clickable)
Another client, Lucy N., wrote:
“He took the time to explain each step and made sure I was at ease throughout.” (clickable)
That is the kind of experience I want every person to have when they visit my studio. I want clients to feel informed throughout treatment and comfortable asking questions about their progress.
common questions about facial electrolysis
Is facial electrolysis permanent?
Yes. Electrolysis can permanently destroy the cells responsible for hair production within individual follicles. Multiple appointments are generally necessary to treat an area.
If you’re still exploring your options, my article about permanent facial hair removal methods compares electrolysis with laser and temporary hair removal.
Does electrolysis work on white or gray facial hair?
Yes. Electrolysis works on hair regardless of pigment, making it particularly useful for white, gray, and blonde hairs that conventional laser hair removal cannot effectively target.
How many appointments will I need?
The number of appointments depends on your hair growth, the area being treated, the characteristics of the hairs, and how they respond to treatment.
We’ll discuss realistic expectations during your consultation. Some clients need relatively short treatment courses, while others benefit from a more extended treatment schedule.
Does electrolysis hurt?
Electrolysis produces a sensation that varies depending on the individual and the treatment area. Some clients can only handle short sessions, while others fall asleep on the table. Most clients describe a brief heat, stinging, or pinching sensation during treatment.
I consider your comfort and skin response when selecting treatment settings, and your first appointment gives us an opportunity to assess how the treatment feels for you.
