Worried about sensitive skin, or wanting hair removed in sensitive areas like the underarms, breasts, or bikini line? Not only can electrolysis can be done anywhere on the body that can be seen clearly, but it can also be adjusted to reach a comfortable treatment speed and intensity for each individual! At Meadowlark Electrolysis, you’ll be in control of the pacing so that you can ease in, pick up the intensity as your skin adjusts to the sensation, and be on your way to being free of unwanted hair without having to simply grin and bear it.

While everyone has their own pain tolerance to where some nearly nod off during treatment, others have mentioned taking over the counter pain medications before treatment to help take the edge off. A common suggestion found online though is to use lidocaine creams before an electrolysis appointment;, but this rarely provides the sense of numbing desired and wears off quite quickly once the area is cleaned for treatment. Rarely do clients receiving quality, precision electrolysis actually require such creams, and if you’ve used them in the past I recommend coming in for a consultation where we can check your skin’s sensitivity to treatment before spending money on topical creams.
