Electrolysis - Permanent Hair Removal

Electrolysis is a clinically proven, medically recognised method of permanent hair removal that works on all hair colours and skin types. Using a fine, sterile probe, the treatment targets each hair follicle to prevent future growth, reducing ingrown hairs and irritation while leaving skin smooth and clear. This precise approach ensures effective, permanent results in small or stubborn areas, restoring confidence and saving you from daily maintenance. Rediscover your natural smoothness and confidence.

Benefits

Benefit 1

Electrolysis destroys the hair follicle using an electric current, which means the hair won’t grow back once the follicle is fully treated.

Benefit 2

Unlike laser treatments, electrolysis is effective on any hair colour (including blonde, grey, red) and all skin tones.

Benefit 3

It treats individual hairs, making it ideal for small areas like eyebrows, chin, or upper lip, and for shaping or removing stubborn hairs.

How It Works

A very fine, sterile, disposable probe is gently inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle. The probe is the same diameter as the hair, meaning the skin is not punctured.

 

A small, controlled amount of electrical energy is delivered into the follicle to destroy the cells responsible for hair growth.

 

There are three recognised methods:

 

Galvanic - Uses a mild chemical reaction to destroy the follicle

Thermolysis (Short Wave / RF Diathermy) - Uses heat energy to disable the follicle

Blend - A combination of both methods for enhanced effectiveness

 

The most suitable method is selected based on your skin type, hair type, and sensitivity.

Why Choose Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is the only clinically proven method of permanent hair removal, making it the gold standard for treating unwanted hair on all skin tones and hair types.

 

It is a precise and advanced treatment that works by permanently destroying the hair follicle at its root, preventing regrowth. This makes it particularly effective for stubborn, fine, or light-coloured hairs that other methods may not treat successfully.

 

Unlike shaving, waxing, or threading, electrolysis offers a true permanent solution. Once treated, the follicle cannot produce another hair.

 

Many clients also notice clearer, healthier-looking skin, with reduced ingrown hairs and irritation.

Treatment
Areas

Electrolysis is recommended for small and precision areas, including:

 

  • Upper lip

  • Chin

  • Jawline

  • Cheeks

  • Eyebrows

  • Neck

  • Underarms

  • Bikini line

  • Nipples

  • Fingers and toes

 

For larger areas, laser hair reduction may be recommended as a more time-efficient option.

Before Your Treatment

To achieve the best results, please follow these guidelines:

 

  • Avoid waxing, threading, or plucking for at least 3-4 weeks

  • Shaving is allowed

  • Avoid sunbeds and excessive sun exposure
    48 hours prior

  • Do not apply heavy makeup, oils, or active skincare on the day

  • Inform your practitioner of any medical conditions or medications

  • Stay well hydrated

Aftercare Advice

Mild redness and slight swelling are normal and usually settle within a few hours.
For best healing:

 

  • Avoid touching the treated area unnecessarily

  • No makeup for 24 hours (facial areas)

  • Avoid heat treatments, saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 24-48 hours

  • Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF daily

  • Do not pick or scratch the area

  • Follow personalised aftercare instructions

  • Proper aftercare supports healing and reduces the risk of irritation.

Contraindictions

Electrolysis may not be suitable if you:

 

  • Have a pacemaker or certain heart conditions

  • Are pregnant (treatment area dependent)

  • Have uncontrolled diabetes

  • Have active skin infections, open wounds, or severe acne

  • Are undergoing certain medical treatments (e.g. chemotherapy)

  • Have keloid scarring tendency

  • Are taking medications that affect healing

 

A full consultation will be carried out to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

FAQ's

Most clients describe it as a mild heat or tingling sensation. Sensitivity varies.

A Permanent Solution

Electrolysis is not a temporary fix - it is a long-term investment in your confidence.

 

No more daily maintenance. No more constant regrowth. Just smooth, clear skin.

 

If you are ready for a medically recognised, permanent solution for small or stubborn areas, electrolysis may be the ideal treatment for you.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Treatment numbers vary from person to person.

Hair growth cycles, hormonal influences, and commitment to regular appointments all affect the timeline.

 

Electrolysis treats hairs during their active growth phase, so multiple sessions are required to achieve full permanent clearance.

 

Treatments are typically scheduled every four weeks at the beginning.

Consistency is essential for optimal long-term results.
