Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a safe, effective, comfortable and progressively permanent method of removing unwanted hair for clients of every skin colour and with all types of hair growth.

Unwanted hair is a common problem affecting most people to varying degrees throughout their lives and prompting the use of various temporary methods of hair reduction or hair management systems. However electrolysis is still the only proven. permanent method of hair removal and many women and indeed many men. have benefited from this trled and trusted treatment

Electrolysis today is more gentle, more comfortable and more effective, offering an affordable modern treatment which is becoming increasingly popular.

How does Electrolysis work?
A tiny probe (about the size of an eyelash) is inserted into the hair follicle where a short burst of energy is targeted at the root of the hair. This burst of energy prevents nutrients feeding the follicle and the new hair growth becomes weaker and finer. After a course of treatments the follicle is no longer able to produce new hairs and complete hair free results are obtained. Each hair follicle requires a number of treatments because each follicle has its own growing cycle. Electrolysis works by weakening the follicle and eventually destroying its ability to produce hairs. Results take a little time, but just like dieting, it’s not the crash diet but the healthy eating plan that works in the long run.

What will happen during the first appointment?
You will have a consultation to determine if the treatment is suitable for you and to experience a ‘taster’ session. You will have an opportunity to ask questions about the treatment, and your treatment plan will be discussed.

What about hygiene?
Single use, individually wrapped, sterile probes are used to totally eliminate any risk of cross infection.

How much do the treatments cost?
Treatment sessions can be booked in multiples of 15 minutes and treatment packages are available. Electrolysis is progressively permanent which means you come frequently in the initial stages then the treatments become more spread out until you are coming only a few times a year.

What areas can be treated?
Upper lip
Chin & Neck
Eyebrows
Underarm
Bikini
Fingers and Toes
Breasts (except the areola)

It is possible to treat other areas, if your area of concern is not listed get in touch and we can discuss the best method of removal.

Treatment Aftercare

After your electrolysis treatment please ensure that you take the following precautions for the following 24 to 48 hours:

AVOID touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours after your session to prevent irritation or infection.
APPLY a soothing gel to the treated area to reduce redness, inflammation, and discomfort. Follow your electrologist’s instructions regarding the application and frequency.
AVOID sun exposure for at least a week after electrolysis. If you need to go outside apply a broad spectrum, high SPF sunscreen.
AVOID hot showers, baths, saunas, steam rooms & swimming.
AVOID picking, scratching, scrubbing or exfoliating the treated area as this can lead to skin damage and potential scarring.
AVOID applying makeup and skincare products to the treated area immediately after electrolysis.
CLEANSE the treated area using mild and gentle cleansers that are free of fragrances and harsh chemicals. Pat dry with clean tissue.
DRINK plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and promote healing.
AVOID wearing tight clothing over treated body areas.
FOLLOW any specific instructions your electrologist may provide based on your skin type and the area treated, for best results.
ATTEND your scheduled follow-up appointments as recommended for optimal results.

If you experience any unusual side effects, severe pain, or prolonged redness and swelling, contact your electrologist for guidance. They will be able to provide personalised advice and address any concerns you may have.
