Electrolysis- Permanent Hair Removal)
Hair is kind of sneaky, it grows in "waves." Some hairs are growing while others are "sleeping" under your skin. We can only zap the ones that are currently growing. To make sure we catch every single hair root, we have to treat them a few times over 2-3 years. But once the hair is gone, it wont come back, ever!
Your skin might look a little pink for an hour or two, which is totally normal.
Hands off: Don’t touch or pick at the area.
No makeup: Give your skin a 24-hour break from makeup or scented perfumes.
Cool it down: If you feel a little warm, you can use ice and some plain Aloe Vera (provided after your first treatment) to soothe the skin.
Yes! Even if you’re an electrolysis pro, a fresh consultation is a must before we start. Here’s why:
Your body changes: Health and skin can shift over time, and I want to make sure I have your most up-to-date info so I can treat your skin safely.
A fresh start: Since I don’t have your previous records on file, this session lets us sit down and talk about your specific goals for your time here at SinTi Hair Inc.
A custom plan: I want to make sure the way I work matches exactly what your skin needs right now.
Think of it as our "getting to know you" session so we can hit the ground running and get you those permanent results you’re looking for! You can book a treatment same day right after your consultation, no worries!

Teeth Whitening
This is a great question! Most doctors and experts say it’s best to wait until after you’ve had your baby and finished breastfeeding before doing a professional whitening.
Even though there isn't proof that it’s "dangerous," your body is going through a lot of changes right now. Your gums can get extra sensitive or swollen because of pregnancy hormones, which might make the whitening feel uncomfortable. It’s always better to be safe and save your bright new smile for a post-baby "treat yourself" moment!
It usually lasts anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, but it really depends on your habits! If you’re a big fan of iced coffee, tea, or red salsa, the stains might come back a little faster. Think of it like a professional car wash; it looks amazing, but eventually, everyday life adds a little "dust." A quick touch-up once or twice a year will keep them sparkling.
Professional whitening only works on natural teeth. If you have a porcelain crown or a veneer, the whitening gel won’t change its color.
If you’re planning on getting a new crown or veneer soon, a tip is to whiten your teeth first! That way, your dentist can match your new porcelain to your brightest, whitest natural shade.
For the first hour only drink water, then for the first 24-48 hours, try to stick to "White Foods" (like pasta with white sauce, chicken, or rice). Your teeth are a little extra "thirsty" right after whitening, so if you drink something dark like grape juice or coffee, they might soak up those stains immediately. After a day or two, you’re good to go back to your normal favorites!
Office Stuff
