What is electrolysis?

Electrolysis is the only FDA approved method of permanent hair removal. A very fine probe (approximately the size of a eyelash) is inserted into the hair follicle and uses heat to destroy the root. There fore destroying its ability to grow.

Is electrolysis suitable for all hair and skin types?

Yes! Electrolysis works on all skin tones and hair types including white, blonde, red and grey hairs. Unlike laser hair removal, which is most effective on dark hair and light skin.

How many electrolysis sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on the area being treated, hair density and individual growth cycle. It’s difficult to give a definite number as everyone is different. Multiple sessions are usually required for effective treatment. During your consultation we will create a personalised treatment plan to deliver the best possible results.

Is electrolysis painful?

Most clients describe electrolysis as a mild sting or a warm sensation. Comfort levels can vary from person to person and also on the area being treated. Numbing cream can be used to reduce sensitivity.

Are there any side effects to electrolysis?

Some clients experience mild redness or slight swelling after treatment but this usually subsides after a few hours. It is recommended to avoid intense exercise, saunas, steam rooms, swimming, sun exposure or wearing makeup for 24 – 48 hours to help the skin heal.

Do I need a consultation?

Yes. During your consultation we will make sure you are suitable for electrolysis, discuss which area/s you would like to treat, access your skin type, hair density and medical history. If necessary a patch test will be performed. A personalised treatment plan will then be tailored for you if you are suitable for electrolysis.
