Electrolysis hair removal is a permanent hair removal treatment that uses a very fine probe and a controlled electrical current to destroy the hair follicle at the root.

Unlike laser treatments, electrolysis works on all hair colours and skin types, making it ideal for stubborn hairs, small areas, or hair that does not respond well to other methods.

• Permanent hair removal when completed as a course
• Suitable for all skin tones and hair types
• Effective on fine, light, or grey hairs that laser cannot treat
• Precise treatment for small or delicate areas (such as the face)
• Helps prevent ingrown hairs
• Can treat individual hairs for a clean, defined result

Your appointment will begin with a consultation to assess the area and discuss your treatment plan.

During treatment, a very fine sterile probe is inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle. A small electrical current is applied to destroy the follicle, and the hair is then gently removed.

You may feel a mild heat or tingling sensation during treatment, but it is generally well tolerated.

Treatment time varies depending on the area, and multiple sessions are required because hair grows in cycles and must be treated at the correct stage.

After treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or sensitive, which usually settles within a short period.

• Keep the treated area clean and avoid touching unnecessarily
• Avoid makeup and perfumed products on the area for at least 24 hours
• Avoid heat treatments such as saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 24 to 48 hours
• Avoid sun exposure and use SPF to protect the skin
• Do not pick or scratch the treated area
• Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading between sessions (shaving is usually allowed if needed)

Following aftercare helps reduce irritation and supports the best long-term results.
