A safe and effective long-term solution to unwanted facial hair growth
Expert team with over 40 years of electrolysis experience
Treats white, grey and red hair
Suitable for all skin types




Treatment overview
Electrolysis is a method of permanent hair removal that works by targeting each individual hair follicle. It works by using a small, fine probe—about the width of a single hair—that is gently inserted into the base of each hair follicle. A small electrical current is delivered for about 5 seconds, generating heat that destroys the hair’s growth center and prevents regrowth. Once treated, the hair is carefully removed using tweezers leaving the area smooth and hair-free. It’s effective on all hair types, as well as those that are unsuitable for other treatments like laser, making it a great option for anyone looking for a permanent solution to unwanted hair.

What should I expect?

Before
Your journey with electrolysis begins with a thorough consultation to ensure the treatment is tailored to your needs and goals. We ask that you arrive with some hair growth in the area you’d like treated, as this allows us to assess your hair type and determine its suitability for electrolysis. During the consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history, explain the process in detail, outline a treatment plan and answer any questions you may have.
To help you understand what the treatment feels like, we’ll perform a short, 5-minute session as part of your initial visit. This not only gives you a clear idea of what to expect during future sessions but also allows us to gauge your skin’s response to the treatment. This approach ensures you feel informed, comfortable, and confident as you begin your journey to permanent hair removal.
During
During your sessions, you’ll be comfortably positioned while your practitioner carefully treats each hair follicle within an area using a fine, sterile probe. A small electrical current is applied to destroy the follicle’s growth center, we then remove the hair with tweezers. Sensations vary, but most clients describe it as a quick, warm tingling or a slight pinprick. While not completely pain-free, it’s generally tolerable, and we can make adjustments to keep you comfortable. We will treat as many hairs as we can within the given treatment time, and apply aloe vera to calm the skin before you leave.

After
After your session, it’s normal to experience mild redness and slight swelling of the treated follicles, which usually subsides within a few hours. We will apply aloe vera to calm the skin before you leave to ensure your skin feels settled. We recommend Sterex aloe vera to use at home after your appointment, which is available to purchase at the Studio. We’ll also provide you with aftercare instructions to protect your skin and promote healing, such as avoiding sun exposure, heat treatments, or harsh skincare products for a few days.

The number of sessions depends on factors like the area being treated, hair type, and growth cycle. Most clients require multiple sessions over several months to achieve the best results. Results are gradual as electrolysis is only effective on hair during a certain phase of growth. You’ll notice a reduction in hair over the course of your sessions.
Shaving is fine between sessions, but avoid plucking or waxing as they remove the hair from the follicle, disrupting the treatment process. We do ask that you come with at least 3-5mm growth of hair for the treatment to be performed effectively.
