Discover why electrolysis is the only method recognized for permanent hair removal, for every hair colour.
If you’re tired of hair always coming back, electrolysis may be the answer. It’s the only hair removal method recognized for permanent results, and it works on every hair colour and skin type.
How Does It Work?
A very fine, sterile probe is gently placed into the natural opening of each hair follicle. A small, controlled current destroys the cells that produce hair, and the hair is lifted out easily. Once a follicle is properly treated, it can no longer grow hair.
Electrolysis vs Laser
Laser targets pigment, so it works best on dark hair and gives long-term reduction. Electrolysis treats the follicle directly, so it works on blonde, grey, red and white hair too, and the results are permanent. Many clients combine both: laser for larger areas, then electrolysis for any remaining hairs.
Who Is It Best For?
Electrolysis is ideal if you have light or fine hair, hormone-related facial hair, a few stubborn hairs after laser, or small areas such as the brows, upper lip or chin.
Areas We Treat
Upper lip, chin, neck and face, and any body area.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Because hair grows in cycles, each hair must be treated as it appears, so a series of sessions is needed. At our clinic, sessions range from 20 minutes for the chin to 60 minutes for larger areas. With every visit, fewer hairs return until the area is hair-free for good.
What to Expect
Most clients feel a quick prick or mild warmth with each hair. Slight redness afterwards is normal and fades within hours. Keep the area clean, skip makeup for 24 hours and avoid plucking or waxing between sessions.
