Lewisville, TX 75067

The company was formed in 1986 under the name E2000, when it was noticed that the unique needs of the transgender community were not being met. A safe and permanent manner of hair removal was implemented to meet these needs. Because of this desired and effective form of electrolysis, conventional methods were thrown out, and the idea of “marathon” sessions was born!
