You deserve a permanent solution that works on every hair color and skin tone. Laura creates a safe, judgment-free environment where your concerns are heard and your goals become achievable. With Massachusetts licensing and specialized training in treating PCOS-related and hormonal chin hair, she helps clients across Manhattan finally find freedom from constant hair removal.

Who Benefits from Chin Electrolysis in New York?

You’re a good candidate for chin electrolysis if you experience hormonal chin hair growth, have been diagnosed with PCOS, are transitioning and need permanent facial hair removal, or simply have a few stubborn chin hairs that won’t go away. This treatment works for everyone regardless of hair color, including blonde, red, gray, and white hairs that laser cannot treat, and all skin tones. Clients from the Flatiron District, NoMad, Gramercy Park, Chelsea, Union Square, and Greenwich Village choose chin electrolysis when they want permanent results without the limitations of temporary methods or laser technology.

Common Reasons People Choose Chin Electrolysis

Hormonal Chin Hair Growth

Hormonal changes during pregnancy, menopause, or monthly cycles can trigger chin hair growth that feels impossible to control. Electrolysis addresses the root cause by permanently destroying each follicle.

PCOS-Related Facial Hair

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome often causes dark, coarse chin hair that grows quickly and resists temporary removal methods. Electrolysis provides lasting relief from this frustrating symptom.

Transgender Facial Hair Removal

For transgender women, facial hair creates dysphoria and interferes with presenting authentically. Chin electrolysis offers complete, permanent removal that hormone therapy alone cannot achieve.

Stubborn Hairs After Laser

Laser hair removal cannot treat lighter-colored chin hairs or may miss certain follicles. Electrolysis permanently removes these remaining hairs for completely smooth results.

Avoiding Daily Maintenance

Constant plucking, threading, or shaving takes time and causes skin irritation. Chin electrolysis eliminates the need for daily or weekly hair removal routines.

Ingrown Hair Prevention

Tweezing and waxing often create painful ingrown hairs on the chin. Permanent follicle removal through electrolysis stops ingrown hairs from forming.

Why Professional Chin Electrolysis Matters

Professional chin electrolysis requires specialized training and proper technique to avoid complications and achieve permanent results. Unlicensed providers or DIY attempts can cause scarring, burns, skin discoloration, and infection, especially on the visible, delicate skin of your chin. Poor technique may also fail to permanently destroy follicles, meaning hairs grow back and you’ve wasted time and money. New York State has no licensing requirements for electrolysis, which means anyone can buy equipment and start treating clients without safety training or insurance.

Laura completed 1,100 hours of training at the New England Electrology Institute, the most rigorous requirement in the nation, and holds her Massachusetts electrology license. She understands hair growth patterns, skin anatomy, sterilization protocols, and how to adjust treatment for different hair types and skin tones. Her training ensures safe, effective treatment that permanently removes chin hair without damaging surrounding skin. At Beauty & the Beas, every treatment uses medical-grade, single-use sterile probes and follows national safety standards.

What You Can Expect from Chin Electrolysis

Chin electrolysis provides permanent hair removal, meaning treated follicles will never product hair again. During early sessions, you’ll see some hairs disappear immediately while other continue their growth cycle. As treatment progresses, regrowth becomes noticeably slower. For most clients, once all follicles in the treatment area have been addressed, results are permanent and no further treatment is needed. Patience and consistency with your treatment scheudle produces the best outcome. The exact timeline depends on your hair density, hormonal factors and treatment frequency. 

Important Health & Safety Information

Chin electrolysis is safe for most people when performed by a trained professional. You should avoid treatment if you have a cold sore, sunburn or severe acne in the chin area. Discontinue retinoids and exfoliating acids 48 hours before your appointment to prevent hyperpigmentation.

If you’re taking any medication, inform Laura during your consultation as these may affect treatment. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for two weeks before treatment, as tanned or sunburned skin is more prone to irritation. After treatment, you may experience temporary redness and slight swelling that typically resolves within 30 minutes to a few hours. Apply aloe vera or witch hazel as recommended to soothe skin. Keep the treated area clean and avoid touching it. Do not tweeze, wax, or thread between sessions, you may shave or trim if needed. Wait 24 hours after facials and two weeks after Botox, fillers, or laser skin treatments before scheduling electrolysis.

Electrolysis removes blonde, red, gray, and white chin hairs that laser cannot treat. No matter your hair color, you can achieve complete clearance.

Electrolysis works safely on every skin tone without risk of hyperpigmentation or burns. Dark skin, light skin, and everything in between can be treated effectively.

Eliminates Ingrown Hairs

Smooth, hair-free chin skin helps you feel more comfortable in photos, meetings, and intimate moments. You stop worrying about visible stubble or rushing to pluck before going out.

Our Training & Credentials

Laura Beasley holds a Massachusetts electrology license earned through 1,100 hours of training at the New England Electrology Institute, the most comprehensive requirement in the United States. She legally uses the designation L.E. (Licensed Electrologist) and maintains her certification through continuing education. Unlike many New York providers who complete only a few weeks or months of training, Laura spent a full year mastering electrolysis technique, skin anatomy, hair growth biology, instrument sterilization and safety protocols.

Beauty & the Beas is one of the few NYC practices offering both electrolysis and laser hair removal, giving Laura unique expertise in helping clients choose the right method for their needs. She specializes in treating clients with PCOS, hormonal imbalances, and transgender individuals preparing for gender-affirming procedures. The practice uses medical-grade Apilus electrolysis equipment and follows national standards for sterilization and patient safety.

Clients consistently praise Laura’s gentle technique, professionalism, and caring approach. One reviewer shared: “Laura is incredibly professional, talented, precise, and caring. I’ve been seeing her for the past year and she is meticulous in the best way, patient, thorough, and checking every little detail.” Another noted: “She’s not only very good at what she does, but she’s also an incredibly caring and charismatic person.” Many clients mention falling asleep during treatment due to Laura’s gentle touch and comfortable environment.

Common Questions About Chin Electrolysis

How does chin electrolysis work?

Electrolysis uses a fine, sterile probe inserted into your hair follicle’s natural opening. A small amount of electrical current destroys the follicle’s growth cells permanently. The treated hair then slides out easily, and that specific follicle will never produce hair again. The process treats one hair at a time with precision, making it ideal for the detailed work required on your chin. Each session addresses hairs currently in their active growth phase, which is why multiple appointments are needed to treat all follicles as they cycle through growth stages.

Does chin electrolysis hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a slight pinch or brief warmth rather than pain. Many clients find the discomfort minimal enough that they relax or even fall asleep during treatment. Laura recommends taking a pain reliever 1 hour before your appointment if you’re concerned about discomfort. The sensation lasts only a second per hair and becomes easier to tolerate as you become familiar with the process.

How many sessions will I need for chin electrolysis?

In electrolysis we talk about Total Treatment Time – TTT. The TTT depends on your hair density, growth patterns, and hormonal factors–no two people are alike. During your initial sessions, Laura will treat all visible hairs in active growth. Follow-up appointments address new hairs as they enter the growth phase. Clients with PCOS or hormonal imbalances may need occasional maintenance if hormones trigger new follicle activation, though this varies individually.

Can electrolysis remove white or gray chin hairs?

Yes, electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal method that works on white, gray, blonde, and red chin hairs. Laser requires pigment in the hair to be effective, which is why it cannot treat lighter-colored hairs. Electrolysis destroys the follicle directly with electrical current rather than targeting pigment, making hair color irrelevant. This makes chin electrolysis particularly valuable for clients who have already tried laser but still have remaining light-colored hairs.

Is chin electrolysis safe for dark skin?

Electrolysis is completely safe for all skin tones, including dark skin. Unlike laser treatments that can cause hyperpigmentation or burns on darker skin, electrolysis works directly on the hair follicle without targeting skin pigment. Laura has successfully treated clients of every skin tone without adverse effects. Proper aftercare, including sun protection and gentle cleansing, ensures your skin heals regardless of your complexion.

What should I do between chin electrolysis appointments?

You may shave or trim chin hair between appointments if needed. Do not tweeze, wax, thread, or use depilatory creams, as these methods remove the hair that Laura needs to access the follicle during your next session. Keep your chin area clean and moisturized. Avoid retinoids and harsh exfoliants for 48 hours before treatment. Use sunscreen daily to protect treated skin. If you notice any concerns between appointments, text or call Laura at (929) 977-2327 for guidance.

Can I get chin electrolysis if I have PCOS or another hormonal imbalance?

Yes, chin electrolysis is highly effective for PCOS-related facial hair. Laura has extensive experience treating clients with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and understands the hormonal factors that drive persistent chin hair growth. While PCOS may cause new follicles to activate over time due to hormone fluctuations, electrolysis permanently removes existing hair. Many PCOS clients find that combining electrolysis with hormonal management from their physician provides the best long-term control. Laura creates a customized treatment plan that addresses your current hair while planning for potential future needs.

Will chin electrolysis leave scars?

When performed by a properly trained electrologist using correct technique (that’s Laura!), chin electrolysis does not cause scarring. Laura uses medical-grade, single-use sterile probes and follows precise insertion techniques that work with your follicle’s natural opening rather than piercing skin. Temporary redness and slight swelling after treatment and tenderness are normal and typically resolve within hours. Laura understands skin anatomy and has the experience to understand effective and safe settings for you.

How much does chin electrolysis cost in NYC?

Chin electrolysis pricing depends on session length and your treatment plan. Investment in permanent removal eliminates the ongoing cost of waxing, threading, and temporary solutions over your lifetime.
