Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a method of permanent hair removal.
While medical laser hair removal is a much faster method of treating unwanted hair, electrolysis still has its place for treating grey, white, blonde or red hairs that do not respond to laser treatment.

Electrolysis treats each hair follicle individually with a very fine, disposable, sterile probe to permanently destroy the follicle’s ability to reproduce, thereby eradicating hair growth on completion of the course of treatment.
In the hands of a well trained electrolysist it is a perfectly safe and highly effective treatment.

The number of treatments required will vary from person to person as each patient will have a different density of hair growth (e.g. there may be between 50 hairs and 500 hairs packed into a small area of skin tissue, whilst some clients will have less hair which is spaced out). This means that each treatment course will vary, and therefore no actual figure can be put on the number of treatments required, but you will feel and see a difference giving you the confidence to continue with your treatment course.

You will need to have regular appointments over a period of time for most areas. Not all our hair is growing at the same time, and it can be quite a shock to find that those 3 or 4 hairs on your chin could actually be 30 or more hairs ‘taking turns’ to grow! On top of this hair thickness, skin sensitivity, dryness and other factors affect how quickly each hair can be eliminated.

It is ideal for post laser treatment when just a few grey or white hairs remain.

The mere mention of needles makes most of us think ‘ouch’! Do not worry! Electrolysis needles are so very fine you barely feel a thing.
