Before and After Care

About us

  • To protect your health and safety, we utilize hospital level sanitation. Everything used in your treatment is thoroughly disinfected. We use sterile, disposable probes and sterile tweezers. Our staff always uses fresh disposable gloves for all services.

  • If possible, please book your next appointment before leaving or do so ASAP through our online booking system.  If you would like a particular day or time, you will need to be sure and book out your appointments well in advance to ensure that time is reserved for you.

  • All of our practitioners are state licensed Registered Electrologists who studied at River Rock Electrolysis Institute.  Shall your scheduled practitioner be unavailable for any reason we may assign you to another electrologist without notice.*

  • Promptness is requested to ensure your full treatment time. If you are more than 10 minutes late for a 30 minute or longer appointment, or more than 5 minutes late for a 15 minute appointment, you may need to reschedule as to not delay next appointment and may be charged for missed appointment.

  • Please have a seat until called for your appointment. Even though we may not directly be in an appointment we may have some things to finish up before we can see you.

  • We respect your treatment time. We do not interrupt your appointments to take phone calls. In order to keep our treatment fees low, one of our cost savings measures is not having a receptionist. We have private voice mail available should you call and we are not immediately available to answer your call.

  • Please call ahead for any visit, we are not able to accommodate drop-ins, as one of our cost saving measures is to not have a receptionist. Thus, if we are in the office, we are assisting other clients.

  • We ask you to leave your children at home for everyone’s safety and comfort.  Please do not bring guests with you.  They will be asked to wait in common waiting area if you do as to not distract electrologist in treatment room.

  • Payments may be made by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, personal checks or cash at the time of service.
