Question 1

Is electrolysis actually permanent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Electrolysis is the only hair removal method the FDA recognizes as permanently effective. It destroys the hair follicle completely so hair cannot regrow. Laser is classified as permanent hair reduction — not permanent removal.

Question 2

How much does electrolysis cost in Riverton, Utah?

Accepted Answer

Sessions at Bare Hair Electrolysis are priced by time. 15 minutes is $30. 30 minutes is $45. 1 hour is $80. 90 minutes is $115. 2 hours is $150. 3 hours is $220. Free consultations are available.

Question 3

Does electrolysis work on blonde, gray, red, or white hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Electrolysis works on every hair color including blonde, gray, red, white, and fine hair. Laser requires pigment in the hair and cannot treat light-colored or gray hair. Electrolysis has no such limitation and is the only permanent option for people with light-colored hair.

Question 4

Does electrolysis work on dark skin tones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Electrolysis is safe and effective on all skin tones. Laser carries a significant risk of burns and hyperpigmentation on darker skin tones. Electrolysis targets the follicle directly without relying on skin contrast and is safe for everyone.

Question 5

I have PCOS and keep growing facial hair — will electrolysis work for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Electrolysis is the most effective long-term option for PCOS-related hair growth. Because PCOS involves ongoing hormonal stimulation, laser frequently fails or requires constant retreatment. Electrolysis permanently destroys each individual follicle. Treated hairs do not return even as hormones continue to stimulate new follicles.

Question 6

Can electrolysis fix hair that got worse after laser treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Laser can cause paradoxical hypertrichosis — a condition where laser treatment triggers more hair growth, especially on the face and neck. Electrolysis permanently removes hair caused by this reaction. Bare Hair Electrolysis specializes in correcting failed and worsening laser results.

Question 7

Do you offer gender-affirming electrolysis and pre-surgical hair removal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bare Hair Electrolysis specializes in LGBTQ+ and gender-affirming electrolysis, including full facial clearance for MTF transition, body hair removal, and pre-surgical hair removal for gender confirmation surgeries including vaginoplasty and phalloplasty.

Question 8

Is electrolysis worth the cost compared to laser?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially long term. Laser is not permanent — many clients spend thousands on laser, see hair return (especially with hormonal conditions like PCOS), and eventually need electrolysis anyway. Electrolysis is the only method that truly ends the cycle. Clients who go straight to electrolysis often spend less overall.
