Answers to your questions about Electrolysis

Yes, electrolysis can permanently remove unwanted hair when performed correctly. The current creates a barrier between the blood supply and the hair seed, preventing that successfully treated hair from growing again. Clearing an area takes repeated appointments because hairs grow at different times. New hair stimulated by hormonal changes can also need treatment. Permanent removal does not mean every hair is gone after one visit.

The number and length of appointments depend on the area, hair density, hair type, and how consistently you follow your treatment plan. A plan for one area takes about 6 to 18 months, with facial appointments about every 2 to 3 weeks and body appointments every 6 to 8 weeks. Your Electrologist estimates your plan after assessing your hair and skin. These electrolysis treatment intervals are different from a guaranteed number of visits or completion date.

Discomfort varies by person and treatment area. We offer topical numbing and optional local anaesthetic; discuss the options before booking treatment. Our electrolysis pain management article explains the clinic protocol.

Electrolysis takes repeated appointments, a treatment budget, and time for skin recovery. Temporary redness, swelling, and tenderness can occur, and infection, scarring, or skin-colour changes are possible complications. Technique, hygiene, and electrolysis aftercare matter.

That depends on your goal, hair type, total treatment cost, and ability to attend repeated appointments. Compare those commitments with the results and recurring maintenance of other hair removal methods.

Plucking removes the hair your Electrologist needs to target at a later appointment. Avoid tweezing, waxing, and threading in the treatment area between visits; ask when to stop shaving or trimming so the hair is visible for your next session. The electrolysis treatment intervals article explains preparation between visits.

Answers to your questions about TruSculpt 3D

TruSculpt 3D is the newest advancement in circumferential reduction and non-surgical body sculpting that offers up to 24 percent fat thickness reduction, as measured by ultrasound, in a single treatment. It is RF (radio frequency) technology that delivers deep heating energy to adipose tissue for body sculpting.

Your provider will determine whether you are a candidate for TruSculpt 3D during the consultation. Typically, appropriate patients have a BMI less than 30. Take our Assessment Questionnaire to get started.

Yes, this treatment can be done on all skin types.

Treatment time depends on the areas treated. To treat an abdomen and both flanks (4 areas) will take about one hour.

Patients typically see results after one treatment. Some patients may elect to have a second treatment for final tweaks or for treatments on alternate areas.

The treatment is performed using a technique that requires the operator to lightly glide the handpiece over the area being treated. The temperature will slowly heat up and is very comfortable. Most patients comment that the procedure feels like a hot stone massage.

Yes, this is a noninvasive procedure and you can return to all normal activities immediately after the treatment. There is no downtime or side effect after this treatment. The treatment area may feel tender following the treatment but this will resolve within a few days.

After the treatment, your body’s immune system will start to break down and flush out the fat cells that were treated leading to circumferential reduction. Everyone’s body does so at a different rate however, on average, people will see results around 6-8 weeks after the treatment and continuing improvement up to 3 months. Any questions or concerns you may have, can be addressed and assessed during your free consultation.

Answers to your questions about Secret RF™

The Secret RF treatment is ideal for improving aging skin, photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck, scars, acnes scars, skin quality and striae. The treatment is safe and effective, and suitable for all skin types and clients seeking skin revitalization.

During the treatment, you will feel a slight heating and some pressure on the treatment area. For most clients, the treatment is tolerable but your practitioner will work with you to maximize your comfort level. Prior to the procedure, your provider will apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to increase comfort during the treatment.

Clients typically need 2-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Most clients report seeing improvement after the first treatment however results are optimized 3 months after the last treatment.

Results vary based on the individual. To maintain results, maintenance treatments are recommended every 12-18 months.

After the treatment, you will be asked to refrain from putting anything on the treatment for 4 hours. We then recommend soothe cream and refraining from wearing make up for several hours. Any minor redness or swelling resulting from treatment will subside within 12-24 hours. After the treatment, you can expect to return to normal activities.

Answers to your questions about Skin Revision

All skin types can be treated. Moles must be assessed by your physician to ensure they’re safe for removal. We recommend a consultation with a Jade practitioner before booking an appointment.

Most lesions only require one treatment to completely remove it. You may have several areas on your body that require electrocautery treatments or multiple lesions to treat.

There will be some discomfort during the procedure, however numbing agents are used prior to beginning to help ease the level of pain you’ll experience. The procedure for each lesion takes very little time before it’s done, and that unwanted spot is gone before you know it! We recommend taking Tylenol twenty minutes before the removal to keep as calm and non-reactive as possible.

For smaller lesions, the initial healing time for the scab to naturally come off on its own should take only a 2-3 days post procedure, since the scabs are very shallow on the surface of the skin and are already formed/closed off the moment you are treated. Larger ones can take anywhere from 2-10 days, depending on the size and type of lesion to be removed. One of the biggest benefits to electrocautery procedures is that the skin is immediately closed off when you are treated and a scab forms, leaving no open or exposed areas which keeps the risk of infection minimal and speeds up healing time. After the scab initially falls off, there will be a red mark remaining that will gradually fade away anywhere from 2-8 weeks post-treatment as your skin regenerates, depending on your skin type. Typically, the more pigmented your skin is, the longer it will take for the red markings to fade out completely. Any questions or concerns you may have, can be addressed and assessed during your free consultation.

Avonne Elley

“Five years ago I used Jade Electrolysis for several different areas of my body. The technician was professional, and the results still stand up today. The hair was eliminated and there has been no new growth. I've recently returned to tackle a new area, and am pleased to say the the experience is just as positive as it was back then.”

Sophia Tangedal

“I have noticed a significant improvement in the lack of hair growth in the areas we have worked on. I would highly recommend Jade Clinics to anyone looking to get permanent, effective hair removal in a comfortable environment. Though the process is lengthy, the results are worth the wait.”
