Traditional Electrolysis
Regardless of the cause – heredity, metabolic, or hormonal conditions – electrolysis will permanently remove unwanted hair to reveal a glowing, confident you. A professional electrologist inserts a very fine needle (usually thinner than the hair being treated) into the natural opening of the hair follicle alongside the hair shaft. A tiny amount of electrical current is then applied to destroy the hair growth cells.
No other hair-removal solution can claim the universal acceptability and success offered by electrolysis treatments. Electrolysis safely and permanently removes all types of hair from all skin tones.
Most other methods focus on immediate, but temporary, hair removal – visible hair, or hair that’s inside the follicle but hasn’t yet emerged. None of them deliver permanent elimination of unwanted hair.
Today the latest technology and practice protocols have made Electrolysis more comfortable and effective than ever before. Our electrologists keep up to date and follow seminars to further hone (perfect) their skills so they can be the best they can at their job.
Based on a personal and confidential consultation, your electrologist will design a treatment plan that addresses your specific hair removal needs.
Transgender Large Volume Electrolysis
Facial hair growth on a woman, transgender or not, can be highly stigmatizing and very embarrassing. Electrolysis hair removal is the most reliable proven option available today to permanently remove transgender facial and genital hair. Laser hair removal can be an acceptable or even a preferable alternative in some cases, but the laser is usually not enough by itself to remove all transsexual facial hair permanently.
Electrolysis 100% Permanent Hair Removal & Skin Care is one of the few clinics in the US offering various Pain Relief options for Large Volume Electrolysis Treatments including Lidocaine Injections, Oral Sedation, IV Hydration and Intravenous IV Deep Sedation.
IS ELECTROLYSIS COVERED BY INSURANCE?
Electrolysis Pain Management
Electrolysis hair removal can be a quite painful procedure. Everyone has their own tolerance for pain. Descriptions of the discomfort vary from “no worse than a mosquito bite,” to “like having a rubber band snapped against my bare skin hard.” Electrolysis can give a stinging and pricking sensation, and each hair has to go through it. The degree of also relative to the area of treatment. Certain spots, such as the upper lip, are known to be more sensitive than spots like the brows.
Our Large Volume Electrolysis protocol with pain relief options allows our patients to get electrolysis sessions longer than 4 hours performed by one or two electrologists simultaneously.

I highly recommend Valeria! I finally tried electrolysis hair removal and I'm so glad I did. The entire experience was a lot easier than I thought. The whole team is fantastic. 5/5.
The salon is clean and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly! Highly recommend.
Natalie is Pro!

My first time coming to Valeria's was Fall of 2022. I had another electrologist who worked at the site perform my first consultation and sessions for hair removal on my chest and abdomen. That person was super professional, kind and informative. I was impressed by the atmosphere; everything inside is clean and well-maintained. The site feels like pleasant luxury to make you feel at ease and at home. This was incredible for me as a first timer because I did my first sessions without anesthesia and they were moderately painful. I received 10 sessions from that electrologist then took a break. Since then, I've been pleased with the results.
Flash forward to beginning of 2024, I required electrolysis again for gender affirming bottom surgery. This time, I wanted to have anesthesia as obviously it's a very sensitive area to receive hair removal. Each time I had a session, Valeria's team of nurses were well-trained and attentive to what I needed as they did my Lidocaine injections. Valeria performed the actual hair removal, taking her time and being open to questions (as I am a blabbermouth during my sessions!). In addition, I got to know from her more about the business and why she started.
It truly meant the world to me when she told me she wanted to purposefully help transgender patients receive hair removal because she recognized a disparity in the availability of electrologists to do that type of work. The website is very upfront and affirming about being a safe space for transgender clients. That's why I felt comfortable going back.
Furthermore, given I was receiving these second set of sessions for surgery, I went through my insurance to get coverage, but I was continually denied. Valeria has been transparent and helpful in sending and resending invoices so that my insurance company will accept cost-sharing of my electrolysis sessions. It has been one of the hardest processes emotionally and financially I've had to go through, and she did not make it any harder for me. She kept asking me how the insurance dilemma is being managed, and during one of our sessions, she even was on a phone call I started with customer service as she did my electrolysis. Eventually, my insurance paid out, and I am currently as of the date of this post trying to get them to fund my remaining sessions.
I definitely recommend going to Electrolysis 100% Permanent Hair Removal & Skin Care. I have my bottom surgery in five weeks, and I am beyond grateful for the support and care I received.

This is probably one of the best places to go to for electrolysis! I have been going here for a while now and have seen amazing results. The whole staff is very professional and every question you have will be thoroughly answered. Adriana is meticulous at her job and really takes her time knowing everything is done correctly. I would highly recommend anyone to go here!
Electrolysis 100 was by far the best place I've gone for high-volume, transgender facial electrolysis. The technicians are highly professional and competent - while also caring and compassionate. They also prioritized minimizing the pain of electrolysis, which helped given my deep pain sensitivity. I highly recommend them and will be flying back to Chicago for follow-ups.
I have moved frequently in my life and been seen by multiple certified electrolysis professionals, so I feel competent to give a review of Valeria's services. She works quickly and effectively. She involves the client and really listens to what bothers them. Unlike some I have been to, she does not dismiss difficult to find hairs. Valeria also takes extra steps to reduce redness. I would rate Valeria as the very best certified electrolysis professional I have ever been to and I am so fortunate to have found her. I must also give a shout out to Olga on her staff - also excellent as demonstrated by her effectiveness. I recently went in for an appointment (less than 15 minutes) after an absence of 7 months. I don't forsee needing to come back at this point - I think I can definitely say that electrolysis, professionally administered in at this clinic, is 100% Permanent.
I’ve had nothing short of a great experience with Valeria over the last year. She takes the time to explain the process and make you feel comfortable. The facility is clean and the staff is always friendly. I’m so happy with my results and would recommend to anyone!
In love with this place!

I love this office! The technicians are so kind, respectful and fun. They really take the time to get everything perfect for patients. The office is beautiful and clean. I would recommend this office to anyone looking for permanent hair removal.
Electrolysis is the best hair removal method. I’m very happy with the results. Lidocaine injections for paint management make a huge difference when getting large volume electrolysis. Professional staff and an extremely clean facility!
Valerie and her team are the absolutely best. They are extremely professional and are always willing to work with me and my busy schedule. I am extremely happy with their service and recommend everyone should go here!
This is such a great place for hair removal services. Extremely professional staff and the space is so clean. Would recommend everyone to go here.
Amazing! Lovely service in a calm setting with plenty of free parking. I really appreciate Valeria!
Incredible electrolysis experience with Valeria! I've been a regular for the past 2 years, continuously adding more areas. Beyond the fantastic and quick results, they always strive to make the process as painless and comfortable as possible. The location is impeccably clean, and scheduling an appointment is a breeze. Absolutely the best electrolysis service in Chicago—highly recommend!
If you need electrolysis services for hair removal, this is the place to go. I have been going here for a year now, and have seen great results. Valeria is knowledgeable, approachable, patient and professional - a rare combination. Your skin needs to be in the best hands, so I wouldn't write this lightly. If you have underlying health conditions, she will listen and advise accordingly.
I have been going to electrolysis for the last couple of years and it's always been an amazing experience. It has become part of my routine. Valerie and her team are amazing and always make sure I have a great experience and all my questions are answered. I would highly recommend coming here for all your beauty needs. The results are worth your time and commitment to the process.
Glad I discovered this location. I was not sure what to expect walking in for the first time being a male wanting electrolysis around the lower edges of my beard and rear neck hair lining. They are a professional staff explaining the process very clear. I immediately recognized this clinic uses new updated equipment which is important to me. After my rounds of electrolysis sessions I am totally satisfied with the results. It really works! I do not need a shave razor at all. Such a relief. Changed my life. I definitely recommend these services to everyone. Thanks Valeria
I have been getting electrolysis treatment for over a year and Valeria and her staff have been amazing. They’ve made this long term painful commitment pleasant and now consider them friends. If you’re looking to make the jump and commit to the electrolysis treatment then this is the place to do it.
Valeria is the best! I have been coming to her on and off since 2020 and she is kind, knowledgeable and takes great care of her clients! Her space very nice and clean and is in a great location with easy parking. They also have a good online scheduling system so it is easy to make appointments. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for an electrologist in Chicago!
I've been working with various techs here for over a year and it's always a pleasure. Everyone is experienced, consistent, and constantly check to make sure I'm comfortable during treatments. They're gender inclusive and always kind. I've tried a few different places across the city and this is by far my favorite.
I’ve been coming here for electrolysis over a year so I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to leave a review! My experience has been overwhelmingly positive since day one but most importantly, I’m thrilled with the results.
I’m slowly working my way towards smooth, hair-free skin. Electrolysis is a time commitment and a costly process but Valeria is great about helping you understand your options to get the best result. The entire team is knowledgeable and takes the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the process. My questions are always answered with patience and expertise which I really appreciate.
Electrolysis can be painful but thankfully they offer lidocaine injections to help ease the discomfort. This is a game changer for me! With lidocaine I can endure longer sessions, making progress a bit quicker than if I were to go without. If you're considering electrolysis, I highly recommend checking out Electrolysis 100%. Between the service and the added comfort of lidocaine injections, I think they’re the best in the business.

The best place to do electrolysis. I’ve been to so many places in Chicago, but only Valeria got results so quickly! They have new equipment, friendly staff and make you feel so comfortable! I highly recommend. Daria
Valerie is a phenomenal provider and makes a painful process like electrolysis much less traumatic and uncomfortable. She is super professional, and has so much knowledge about the process of electrolysis, she answered all my questions, and made me feel at ease Thank you so much, Valerie
Irina, Anna and Olga are all incredibly skilled and caring people who made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. They worked hard but were always personable and friendly. I did not handle the pain injections well but they all helped me get through it. The spa itself is modern and light and meticulously clean. Very happy I got to choose this business and these ladies to help me through this tough step of my transition
Great staff... I first went for a consultation, and they explained everything very well. They even did a small sample of how it felt.
Once I went for my initial appointment, the staff was overly friendly and constantly checked on how I was feeling.
Would heavily recommend!

I truly can't recommend enough! I just finished my second session and left happier than I did the first time, which was really really happy. The staff is absolutely top notch, the facility is top notch and so clean and inviting. I travel a few hours to get my treatments and it is absolutely worth it. I look forward to my upcoming appointments! Olga and Irina are two of the sweetest humans and their work is amazing!! Highly highly highly recommend!!!
First experience with this facility. Such a nice and welcoming place! My friend from the gym recommended IV Vitamins for recovery after my workouts so I decided to try even though I’m so scared of needles. Irina was so patient with me. She explained the process every step of the way and even customized the Vitamin combination that would be most beneficial for me! After the infusion I felt full of energy and ready for another workout. This experience couldn’t have been better and I will definitely come back in a month for another round.
I was so excited to try the IV vitamin infusion recommended by my friend who comes to this spa. After a few therapy IV sessions I started to feel absolutely amazing! Gave me a great boost of energy after a few stressful weeks at work. Irina is just the best! She was so patient to answer all my questions. Can’t wait to come back 🙂
I had the best experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain the electrolysis process to me. During my appointment, I was treated with the utmost care and professionalism. The electrologist was gentle and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. I was blown away by the results after just one appointment. I couldn't be happier with my decision to choose this clinic for my hair removal needs. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for effective and affordable electrolysis services in Chicago!!
Valeria is simply the best. I wished I started seeing her sooner, I had consulted a couple other electrologists in Chicago before I went here and none of them seemed as knowledgeable and competent. She is very professional and skilled, you can tell she loves her job which reflects in the results. After my first session with her, I barely noticed the pain. It's also a bonus that she's very easy to talk to and funny which makes the time go by fast.
I absolutely love going to Electrolysis 100% Permanent Hair Removal & Skin Care in Chicago. The staff is awesome, very professional and well trained! There is never a wait time for my appointment, the office is very clean and comfortable! I always leave feeling very satisfied!
Super excited to leave this review! I wish I could leave 10 stars! The girls are super friendly. Experienced staff. Clean place. Best Electrolysis Hair Removal Services in Chicago! Recommend to anyone who's looking to get electrolysis hair removal.
Highly recommend Valeria for electrolysis. I have been seeing her for some time now and I’m very pleased with results! She is lovely to work with and very professional. She goes above and beyond to ensure that your experience with her is pleasant and thoroughly explains the treatment.
I started going here about a year ago. Valeria is awesome! She’s super nice and knowledgeable but, most importantly, she does great work. She never treats any hairs by just plucking or doing inadequate insertions. I’m always confident with her that she is permanent killing the hair. She is super fast at clearing hairs. I just wish I knew of Valeria sooner as she is truly the best out there! A solid 5 star rating well deserved.
