Young Dentistry For many Halton Hills residents, Dr. Kevin Young is a familiar face.

Lynne Gravelle has been helping the people of Halton Hills look and feel better since 1999. Lynne, a certified electrologist and laser technician, is the owner and operator of Bare Image Electrolysis and Laser Inc. in downtown Georgetown. As the name suggests, Bare Image offers electrolysis and laser treatments to permanently remove unwanted body hair. Electrolysis, which takes between six months and a year and half to complete, involves sending a small electric current into the hair follicle to permanently destroy the root. Laser hair removal, which usually requires between four and six treatments to take effect, uses a laser to destroy or impede several hair follicles at a time. Lynne got started in the field after having permanent hair removal done herself. She had such a positive experience that she enrolled in the Electrolysis College of Canada and became a certified electrologist and laser technician. She then opened her business and has been helping the people of Halton Hills ever since. "I like making people feel good about themselves by getting rid of the stuff they hate," Lynne says. "Women and men are so busy. I give them one less thing to worry about." Byron Conrad (Appleby Systems, Georgetown) Byron Conrad strives to exceed his customers' expectations.
