Quality permanent hair removal services for members of the transgender community can be hard to find in some Connecticut towns and cities. And this lack of electrolysis services can make everyday living even tougher for our trans family members. 

Nationwide, transgenders are already fighting discrimination in a host of areas, including education, the workplace, healthcare, as well as housing. Their mental health experiences have led to anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. And in the U.S., 45 percent of transgenders have attempted suicide, a massive number compared to 4.6 percent of the overall population. 

A U.S. transgender survey in 2015 revealed that 20 percent of Connecticut trans residents who had a job in the previous year were mistreated based on their gender identity or expression during that year. The survey also said our transgender citizens were forced to use a restroom that did not match their gender identity. And they are often told they have to assume the wrong gender to keep their job.

Is Electrolysis Permanent? 

The question of whether electrolysis is a permanent hair removal process comes up frequently. The answer is yes, electrolysis is permanent.  

Here is how it works. Electrolysis removes the hair one at a time. The process is not a one-shot deal; a client has to return for several sessions. The number of sessions depends on the length of each treatment session. 

During a treatment session, an electrolysis professional uses a device that destroys the growth center of the hair with either chemical or heat energy. The clinician then inserts a probe into the hair follicle and pulls out the hair. The follicle will not grow back; it is now dead.  

And, the Food and Drug Administration and the American Medical Association say electrolysis is the only permanent process we have for removing hair.
