Permanent, precision-based hair removal for all skin and hair types at StudioMD SoHo.
A Permanent Solution for Every Hair Type
Electrolysis hair removal remains the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal. For patients in SoHo seeking a solution that works on every hair type, including blond, white, grey, and peach fuzz hair, electrolysis offers a reliable and effective option. StudioMD provides advanced medical-grade technology and a multi-technology approach to ensure that every patient receives the most precise and customized plan possible for long-lasting results.
Although this treatment is booked through our SoHo location, electrolysis appointments are performed at our state-of-the-art Larchmont studio to provide the highest safety standards and the most experienced electrologists.
What Is Electrolysis Hair Removal?
Electrolysis is a technique that permanently removes individual hairs by delivering a small electrical current directly into the hair follicle through a very fine, sterile probe. This energy destroys the follicle’s growth center, preventing the hair from returning. Because the current is delivered directly to the follicle root, electrolysis can permanently remove any hair color on any skin tone, making it an ideal solution for patients who cannot be fully treated with laser hair removal.
Electrolysis uses a tiny probe inserted through the natural opening of the follicle. A controlled electrical current is applied to destroy the follicle’s growth tissue without damaging the surrounding skin. Because the follicle is treated directly, hair color and skin tone do not impact results.
Suitable for Every Hair Type
Patients with the following hair types are excellent candidates:
Blond hair
White or grey hair
Red hair
Very fine or peach fuzz hair
Hair remaining after partial laser hair removal
Ideal for Small and Delicate Areas
Electrolysis is especially effective for shaping small or sensitive areas like:
Eyebrows
Upper lip
Chin
Sideburns
Fingers and toes
Because it treats one follicle at a time, electrolysis allows for unmatched accuracy in detail-oriented facial shaping.
Multi-Technology Treatment Plans
Many patients benefit from combining laser and electrolysis. Laser reduces darker hairs quickly, while electrolysis permanently removes the lighter hairs that remain. StudioMD providers tailor treatments based on hair type, skin tone, and long-term goals.

I had a few procedures done at StudioMD. I was very satisfied with the service Dr. Sadaf Qazi and her team provided. They kept me informed throughout the process. The doctor and her team was easy to reach after my surgery. I would highly recommend StudioMD.

Dr. Qazi and her entire staff have warm and welcoming demeanors, a high degree of hospitality, positive attitudes, always smiling and acting with the utmost level of respect, patient care, and making each patient feel special. They focus on client comfort and take their time with each person answering any and all questions. Dr. Qazi never rushes her appointments. She takes the time to listen to every concern and is thorough in each interaction I've had with her. She gave me her personal cell number so even during nights and weekends if a concern or question arises I am able to contact her for a mini evaluation of my issue or answering of my questions. The care I've received has continued long after the procedure was completed and I am so glad that I chose her to do my tummy tuck and liposuction. The results are outstanding and she is the only one I would trust to do any cosmetic procedures going forward.

I went to StudioMD's midtown location for laser tattoo removal. Jennifer is extremely personable, she ensured expectations for the amount of sessions needed for removal as well as ensured my comfort during the treatment. I chose to purchase a package for 6-sessions, and would consider seeking other treatments from StudioMD in the future. Would definitely recommend them to others, and in particular recommend working with Jennifer.

I recently had a SmartLipo procedure with Dr. Khan at Studio MD, and I could not be happier with the entire experience. From my very first consultation to the post-op follow-ups, Dr. Khan demonstrated exceptional professionalism, skill, and care. What really stood out to me was his communication. He took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answer every single question I had (and I had a lot!), and never made me feel rushed. He made sure I understood exactly what to expect before, during, and after the procedure, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Dr. Khan's attention to detail is second to none. He was incredibly meticulous with his work, ensuring that everything was done with precision and care. I felt completely confident in his hands, and the results have exceeded my expectations. His thoroughness also extends to aftercare. He gave me clear post-op instructions, and made sure my recovery was smooth. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in delivering excellent outcomes. If you're considering SmartLipo or any cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Khan. His expertise, communication, and attention to every little detail make him one of the best in the field. Thank you, Dr. Khan and the team at Studio MD!

I recently went into StudioMD to have a procedure done by Dr. Khan. Specifically, I wanted to treat excess fat in my abdominal area and decided to opt for smart lipo. Dr. Khan is very sure of himself as a doctor, which put a lot of my woes to the side. This was my first large cosmetic surgery, so I was extremely nervous. On the day of my procedure, I was delayed because some events were happening in the city, and Dr. Khan and his nurses were extremely accommodating. They let me take my time (I had to pee and just couldn't because of nerves until 2 minutes before surgery) and even gave me pep talks and stress balls to calm my nerves. When we got to work, it was quick and effortless. Dr. Khan allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted and even called the next day to see how I was doing. They prescribed meds that were ready for pickup immediately and even gave me additional meds that I asked for pain management just in case. One of the amazing nurse technicians even text me afterward and shared her favorite shapewear and other things to help with recovery. I know many of these things seem like, "yeah, they should do that", but I've seen a lot of practices that don't. I also felt the price was fairly affordable since I've seen similar pricing outside of NYC. I'm beginning to feel beautiful in my body again, and I am so thankful to Dr. Khan and his staff. I'll be back soon for some other small cosmetic procedures I want to keep up.

I was referred to Dr. Khan to have neck liposuction and decided to also have my midsection done to correct uneven results from another doctor. Understanding that revision work can be difficult... my expectations were low. I could see immediately after the surgery just how much he improved my situation. Dr Khan operates with the confidence of a seasoned professional. You really can't go wrong with this guy.
“I had my lipo with Dr Khan yesterday and today I can already see the desired changes in my waist and belly area ,I am happy with his performance”
Recovery
Electrolysis requires no downtime. The treated area may appear slightly pink or puffy for a few hours, similar to a mild irritation response. This is normal and resolves quickly. Patients may resume normal activities immediately, although it is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure the day after the procedure. Sunscreen and gentle skincare help support healing and prevent sensitivity.
Our team provides clear aftercare instructions, and each patient leaves with a customized plan for maintaining skin comfort and reducing irritation between treatments.
Results
Electrolysis produces permanent hair removal. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are required to ensure every follicle is treated during its active growth phase. Results build steadily over time as more follicles are permanently disabled. Patients notice smoother skin, reduced irritation, and gradual thinning until the hair stops returning altogether.
For patients who have already completed laser hair removal, electrolysis is often the final step in eliminating any remaining hairs for a truly smooth, hair-free finish.
