our community.
As Berkeley’s first trans-focused electrolysis practice, we specialize in treating patients seeking relief from gender dysphoria or preparing for gender-affirming surgery.
Our clinic is community-powered, medically informed, and built to remove friction – from intake to treatment to insurance coverage. You won’t need to brace for awkwardness. You won’t need to educate your provider. You can focus on transition, and we’ll take care of the rest.
At Airship, the sky’s the limit. It’s your journey. We’re just here to make it a smooth flight.
Insurance? We speak fluent paperwork.
Hair removal for the treatment of gender dysphoria (ICD-10 F64.0 or F64.9) is often considered medically necessary care.

We’re building more than a clinic – we’re building long-term infrastructure for trans healthcare.
Through the Airship Electrolysis National Scholarship, we fund electrology training for new providers and offer guaranteed employment upon licensure.
We’re always open to hearing from licensed electrologists who want to work in gender-affirming care.
We’re right here.
Our South Berkeley clinics are located walking distance from Ashby BART, in secure medical buildings with modern equipment and private treatment rooms.
