In our society, the presence of unwanted facial or body hair has deep cultural significance and can be a source of great distress for women and men alike. At best, it's an embarrassing cosmetic issue, and at worst, it contributes to profound struggles with self-esteem. Like many electrologists, I became interested in the profession while undergoing treatments myself, and after practicing for twenty years, I know how the problem of unwanted hair can affect one's self-image and confidence. It is a health and social issue for both women and men alike. In my practice, I offer complimentary consultations where I take a medical history, ascertain the client's goals, and try to answer the client's questions clearly and honestly. I find that a straight-forward discussion at the beginning saves frustration down the road. Some common questions addressed at the consultation:

• Approximate time to meet your goals
  
• How to manage hair growth between appointments
  
• How long to wait between appointments
  
• What to expect in terms of discomfort
  
• What to expect in terms of skin reaction
  
• Infection control standards utilized
  
  

My commitment to my clients is to provide honest and complete information and to do my best to enhance my clients' self-confidence through permanent hair removal.
