Remove unwanted body hair permanently.
Electrolysis is a form of permanent hair removal. It is performed using a special probe that emits a mild energy current. The Electrology 3000 (E3000) probe is delicately inserted along the hair follicle and then the current is released. This energy emitted by the probe destroys the hair follicle, thus permanently preventing hair from growing in the area. It’s a precise and skilled procedure.
The Spiegel Center offers safe, permanent hair removal with electrolysis for all skin types and hair colors. For those seeking rapid results, we offer high-volume electrolysis sessions that can clear large areas efficiently—ideal for patients preparing for surgery or transitioning. Comfort is also a priority, and local or topical anesthesia options are available to ensure a more relaxed experience.
It is important to know that hair growth occurs in stages. First is the growing phase, followed by the resting phase, and finally, the shedding phase. Electrolysis with E3000 only works on hairs that are currently in the growth phase. Note: all the hairs in one area of the body are not going to be in the same phase at the same time. So if only one treatment is performed, only the hairs that are currently in the growth cycle will be affected.
The timing of your treatments are planned to address the hairs during their growth phase. Performing E3000 electrolysis over a series of treatments allows electrolysis to work properly and target all the hairs in the area, making your results much more consistent. The number of treatments depends on the area you are looking to have hair-free.
At The Spiegel Center, we specialize in high-volume electrolysis to help you achieve your goals faster. Whether you’re preparing for gender-affirming surgery or simply want to remove hair in large areas like the face, body, or genital region, our skilled electrologists can perform extensive sessions efficiently and safely. By using the latest equipment and techniques, we can target hundreds—or even thousands—of follicles in a single appointment.
This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with time-sensitive timelines, and our experienced providers tailor each session to your unique needs.

The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment area, hair density, and individual hair growth cycles.

During your consultation at The Spiegel Center, we’ll assess your goals and customize a plan for optimal results.
Yes. Electrolysis is FDA-approved for permanent hair removal and works on all skin tones and hair types, including light, gray, and fine hair that lasers often miss. It’s a reliable option for patients seeking precision and inclusivity in hair removal treatment.
You may feel a slight heat or stinging sensation during treatment, but most patients describe it as tolerable. The sensation is typically brief and well-managed by our skilled providers. We can also offer numbing options to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
Electrolysis can safely treat nearly any area with unwanted hair, including the face, underarms, bikini line, chest, back, and even delicate areas like the eyebrows. It’s a highly customizable procedure that allows for precise contouring and long-term smoothness.
Avoid tweezing, waxing, or threading for at least two weeks before your session—shaving is fine. Clean skin is best, so arrive without lotions, oils, or makeup on the treatment area. Our team will guide you through all pre- and post-treatment instructions during your consultation.

I finally decided to have electrolysis done on my face and take care of unwanted hair. I chose the Spiegel Center because of how they describe their process and because of very successful prior procedures I've had there. I've had several sessions, one of which was 'large volume electrolysis' - 8 hours with two technicians. Dr. Onir, Dafina Sinani, who is my care coordinator for aesthetics and skin care, and the electrolysis technicians - Aisha and Kim - are wonderful and the quality of care is exceptional. Numbing injections and pain management were handled effectively and efficiently by Dr. Tower and Dr. Goslawski, in addition to Dr.s Onir and Spiegel. I highly recommend electrolysis at The Spiegel Center.
