Electrolysis

Electrolysis is the permanent answer to unwanted hair no matter your gender, your post-puberty age or your ethnicity, and today it is still the only form of permanent hair removal recognized by the American Medical Association. We use only the most advanced technology for efficacy and for your comfort, and pre and post treatment essentiels are always complementary.

Laser Hair Removal

For hair removal, our Palomar IPL works by emitting pulses of intense light into the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair.

Our IPL system safely removes unwanted body hair without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin. In addition, it features Active Contact Cooling for maximum comfort and safety. It has the clinical efficacy to rival, even surpass, other laser technology.

For the protection of our clients and staff, L’Essentiel adheres to the strict sterilization guidelines recommended by the Center for Disease Control. We use only disposable instruments and autoclave sterilization of all equipment. Gloves are worn at all times.
