The People Who Will Actually Treat You

Licensed Illinois electrologists and nurse practitioners, under one roof on N Larrabee St.

Electrolysis is slow, precise work, and who is holding the probe matters more than any piece of equipment in the room. Every electrologist here is licensed by the State of Illinois and trained specifically in electrolysis — not a spa technician who also does hair removal. When your session involves sedation or injectables, a nurse practitioner stays in the room with you from start to discharge.

Meet Your Chicago Care Team

You will be told at your consultation who is treating you, and on large-volume days, which two or three of us are working at the same time.

Valeria Tartacovschi, LE

Accurate Academy of Electrology

Valeria founded Electrolysis 100% Permanent Hair Removal & Skin Care and still treats clients herself. She trained at the Accurate Academy of Electrology and spent four years working alongside one of Chicago’s leading plastic surgeons before opening her own practice — an environment that shaped how this clinic runs, from sterile technique to how carefully a treatment plan gets built before anyone quotes you an hour.

She came to electrolysis as a client first. Having sat in the chair herself and seen it work, she built the practice around the thing she wanted and could not find: a clear plan, honest timelines, and enough pain management that finishing is realistic.

“After being in my client’s place and having 100% results, I know that permanent hair removal by electrolysis is the only method that really works for everyone.”

In practice since 2016

Nataliya has worked in beauty and skin health since 2016. She became a licensed electrologist after watching the results for herself and deciding it was the only hair removal method she wanted to put her name to.

She is the one you want on a long clearing session. Steady hands, consistent spacing, and the patience to keep the same accuracy in hour four as in hour one — which is exactly what separates a session you only have to do once from one you have to redo.

Facial and precision work

Adriana is meticulous, which is precisely what facial work demands. Upper lip, chin and jawline leave no room for a probe that is slightly off, and she treats that standard as non-negotiable rather than something to rush when the schedule is tight.

She keeps current with new techniques and equipment as the field moves, and she is deliberate about the room feeling calm — particularly for clients who arrive nervous, or who have been made to feel awkward about their hair somewhere else.

Bachelor of Science · Critical Care Nursing

A passion for lifelong learning has led me to become a licensed professional electrologist with a Bachelor’s degree in Science and a background in critical care nursing. I am dedicated to providing compassionate care to all our clients, regardless of their skin and hair types. My nursing background equips me to assist people on their journey.

I take pride in sharing the expertise of many electrologists and performing the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal technique. I am proficient in using the Apilus XCell and Senior 3G electrolysis machines to help our clients achieve their best results.

Nik-Nik Perez Achanzar, APRN, nurse practitioner and certified laser technician at Electrolysis 100% in Chicago
APRN · Comfort & Injectables · Certified Laser Technician

Nik-Nik Perez Achanzar, APRN

MSN, DePaul University · Family Nurse Practitioner

Nik-Nik earned her Master’s in Nursing from DePaul University in 2012 and has eight years of experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner across both primary and acute care. She is certified in neurotoxin injectables and fillers.

At the clinic she handles the comfort side of long sessions — lidocaine injections, oral sedation and IV hydration. Whoever medicates you here stays in the building until you are discharged. That is a deliberate policy, and it is the reason four-hour and eight-hour sessions are possible at all.

Yefoonah Christmas, FNP-C, family nurse practitioner and certified laser technician at Electrolysis 100% in Chicago
FNP-C · IV Therapy & Patient Care · Certified Laser Technician

Yefoonah Christmas, FNP-C

MSN, Chamberlain University · BSN, Resurrection University

Yefoonah is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than nine years of experience caring for patients across the full age range, from pediatrics to geriatrics. She holds an MSN from Chamberlain University and a BSN from Resurrection University, and specializes in IV therapy, telehealth, preventive care and patient education.

She is committed to culturally sensitive care and health equity, which matters in a clinic where a good share of clients have been turned away or talked down to elsewhere. She will also explain what is happening to your skin and why, rather than leaving you to guess.

Nayely Cortes, APRN, adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner and certified laser technician at Electrolysis 100% in Chicago

Nayely Cortes, APRN

Adult-Gerontology Primary Care NP · Speaks Spanish

Nayely is an Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner with three years of experience in comprehensive, patient-centered primary care. Before that she spent seven years as a medical-surgical RN, which gave her a solid grounding in acute care, clinical assessment and managing complex patients. Her background covers preventive care, chronic disease management, acute visits, medication management, care coordination and a range of in-office procedures.

She cares a great deal about patients feeling comfortable, heard and respected, and about care that accounts for both what you need today and your long-term health. She is also fluent in Spanish, so Spanish-speaking clients can ask their questions and understand their care in their own language, without anything getting lost in translation.

How We Work

What You Can Expect From Everyone Here

Licensed, Not Improvised

Every Electrologist Is State Licensed

Illinois licenses electrologists separately from estheticians and cosmetologists, and plenty of places blur that line. Everyone treating you here holds a current electrology license and trained in this specifically. Ask to see it at your consultation if you would like.

What Is Electrolysis ⟶
Nobody Dosed And Left Alone

Medical Staff Stay Until Discharge

Seven levels of pain management, from numbing cream up to general anesthesia. Whichever you choose, the licensed practitioner responsible for it stays at the clinic with you for the whole session. No one medicates you and then leaves the building.

Every Comfort Option ⟶
Two Or Three At Once

A Team, Not A Single Chair

On large-volume days, two or three electrologists work on you simultaneously in sessions of four hours and up. If you are travelling to Chicago for treatment, one trip can cover what months of weekly appointments would cover at home.

Meet Us Before You Commit To Anything
