Welcome to Skin by Billie & Electrolysis
Permanent Hair Removal Through Electrolysis
Electrolysis is a time-tested, FDA-recognized method for permanently removing unwanted hair. It’s precise, effective for all hair types and skin tones, and can be safely performed on virtually any part of the body. Whether you're new to electrolysis or ready to continue your journey, our team provides personalized care and expert treatment.
"Manufacturers may not claim that laser hair removal is either painless or permanent unless the FDA determines that there are sufficient data to demonstrate such results. Several manufacturers received FDA permission to claim, "permanent reduction," NOT "permanent removal" for their lasers. This means that although laser treatments with these devices will permanently reduce the total number of body hairs, they will not result in a permanent removal of all hair."
The Basics
Electrolysis destroys the hair growth center using heat or chemical energy. A fine probe is inserted into the follicle, and the hair is removed with tweezers.
Common Myths
MYTH: Electrolysis is painful
FACT: Most describe it as a slight heat or pinch sensation. Comfort levels vary, but it's generally well-tolerated.
MYTH: Other permanent hair removal methods exist
FACT: Electrolysis is the only method officially recognized by the FDA and AMA as permanent.

The begining

The begining
Electrolysis has been studied and recognized as a permanent hair removal solution since 1875. Since then the nature of treatments has advanced significantly. Today, leading electrolysis clinics such as Skin by Billie use sophisticated computerized modalities to permanently remove all unwanted hair from any location on the patient's body.
How It Works
The begining
The begining
Electrolysis works very differently from laser treatments. Unlike laser, which targets the pigment of hair, electrolysis targets the hair follicle itself via total electro-coagulation of germinativum cells. In plain terms, it uses a low level electrical current to destroy hair "at the root" and prevent regrowth.
