Electrolysis Hair Removal

Virginia rates for HCPCS 17380

Permanent hair removal in which a very fine probe is slipped into each hair follicle and a small electrical current destroys the root so that hair does not grow back from it. Hairs are treated one at a time, so several appointments are usually needed to clear an area. Treatment time is counted in half-hour blocks.
