Common Questions about Electrolysis
Will an electrologist understand what it means to be transgender?
We absolutely understand. As a member of the American Electrology Association, it is our professional responsibility to be knowledgeable about treating trans people. At Associated Electrolysis of Charleston we are aware of what you are trying to accomplish and how electrolysis fits into your process. We will respect you, your choices and your privacy.
Will my electrologist have experience with transgender clients?
Yes, but don't be afraid to ask. If you would be more comfortable with someone who has more experience with your specific needs, plese ask us for a referral. We understand that our profession makes us a valueable partner in your process.
Why does the electrologist want to know what protocol or program I'm on?
We will work with you, and if neccessary, your medical practitioner to ensure your treatments stay on track. Be sure to follow the electrologist's recommended schedule of treatments, as this is essential in achieving permanency as quickly as possible.
Will my electrologist remove hair in the genital area?
We may ask whether you are seeking genital hair removal at this time in preparation for gender confirmation surgery and, if so, which surgeon you are working with in order to follow their pre-surgical protocols. It is important to allow sufficient time prior to surgery to complete genital hair removal in order to prevent future ingrown hairs internally. If your genital hair removal requirements are not related to an upcoming surgery, the electrologist will not need any information in this regard beyond the standard questions asked of all genital hair removal clients.
