Electrolysis Permanent Hair Removal
Electrolysis hair removal is the only proven method of permanent hair removal. A tiny disposable and sterile probe and a thermolysis or a blend of galvanic and shortwave diathermy current is delivered into the hair follicle targeting the growth factors in the hair follicle, which over time permanently destroys them meaning the hair cannot grow. Upon completing your course of treatment the hair growth will be irradicated.
Unwanted hair causes enormous distress and often brings a feeling of isolation and poor self esteem. Hormonal factors and some medications as well as genetic pre disposition can cause unwanted hair growth.
The treatment is safe, reliable and gentle. Electrolysis is most often used on the face, upper lip, chin and nipples as well as underarms and bikini areas.
Electrolysis vs laser hair removal
Because electrolysis destroys the hair follicle the hair can never grow back, while laser hair reduces the amount of hair that grows back it doesn’t end all hair growth. Electrolysis works on ALL hair colours and skin colours unlike laser hair removal which is most successful of dark hair and pale skin, it is not successful on white/ grey hair or red hair.
How many session of electrolysis will I need?
Many factors influence hair growth so it is a progressive treatment that will require multiple sessions to be permanent.
A full consultation and test patch will take place before treatment begins to allow us to assess your hair growth, causes and previous methods of removal. During the consultation we will explain exactly how the treatment works and what to expect during treatment and post treatment.
