Built Around Surgical Timelines & Measurable Outcomes

Queer Community Electrolysis is a private, appointment-only practice focused on two things: surgical preparation and permanent hair removal. We don’t sell packages — every treatment is personalized to the patient. Work begins with a review of your surgeon’s written requirements or your own hair-removal goals, continues with calibrated, documented sessions, and for surgical patients ends with the clearance paperwork your care team expects.
  • 100% private treatment rooms — no open bays, no double-booking
  • Single-use sterile probes and autoclave-processed instruments
  • Progress recorded session by session, zone by zone
  • Prior-authorization packets prepared for OHP and commercial plans

What We Do

Core Services

Pre-Surgical Hair Clearance

Full donor-site clearance for phalloplasty and vaginoplasty — mapped to your surgeon’s template, documented for clearance, and scheduled against your operative date.

Facial Electrolysis

Permanent removal for facial feminization and brow architecture — temples, forehead hairline, cheeks, jaw, chin, and upper lip. Every follicle is treated individually, under magnification.

Full-Body Electrolysis

Any area, any hair type — underarms, chest, areolar preparation, abdomen, back, legs, bikini and Brazilian, plus ingrown-hair correction. Permanent results delivered with a calm, clinical standard of care.

Surgical Preparation

The Clearance Pathway

A defined four-step process from protocol intake to the clearance letter your surgeon signs off on.
  • Step 1 — Protocol Intake
    Bring or forward your surgeon’s hair-removal requirements. We convert them into a written treatment map — zones, density targets, and deadlines — before your first full session is booked.
  • Step 2 — Mapping & Test Session
    A patch session calibrates settings to your skin and hair type, establishes comfort baselines, and locks in the session cadence your surgical timeline requires.
  • Step 3 — Personalized Treatment Schedule
    Sessions run in measured blocks with progress recorded at every visit, so density reduction is documented rather than estimated — and your operative date never becomes a guessing game.
  • Step 4 — Clearance Documentation
    Completion letters, zone-by-zone records, and itemized superbills formatted for Oregon Health Plan prior authorization and commercial carrier review.

Approaching a Surgical Cutoff?

If your surgical team has issued a clearance deadline within the next three to six months, email the practice directly with your surgeon’s name, scheduled date, and donor-site requirements. Time-sensitive referrals are reviewed first.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does insurance cover pre-surgical electrolysis?
    In Oregon, pre-surgical hair removal is frequently covered as a medically necessary component of gender-affirming surgery. Approval depends on your plan and documentation — we draft the prior-authorization packet and handle the billing follow-up.
  • How many sessions will clearance require?
    Session counts vary with hair density, zone size, and the clearance threshold written into your surgeon’s protocol. The Step 1 protocol map sets a realistic range for your specific case before you commit to anything.
  • What does electrolysis feel like?
    Discomfort is manageable and varies by zone. Settings are calibrated to your tolerance, topical anesthetic options are available, and sessions are paced so your treatment stays comfortable and sustainable.
  • When should treatment start before surgery?
    Most surgical teams require completed clearance well ahead of the operative date, and donor-site clearance typically takes months. Book a consultation as soon as a date is even under consideration.
