Electrolysis

Skin Concerns

Unwanted facial or body hair • Ingrown hairs • Hormonal hair growth • Coarse or stubborn regrowth • Sensitive skin unable to tolerate waxing or IPL

Appointment Duration

15–60 minutes (depending on treatment area)

Downtime

Minimal to none — slight redness may appear for a few hours.

Electrolysis is a precise and permanent method of hair removal that disrupts hair growth at its root. By applying a small electrical current into individual follicles, it prevents regrowth and leaves skin smooth and clear. Safe for all skin and hair types, electrolysis delivers lasting results with expert precision.

Using a fine probe, an electrical current targets the follicle base to disable its growth cells. Over a course of treatments, treated hairs stop growing permanently. It’s effective for both light and dark hairs and can be used on delicate areas, including the face, eyebrows, and body.

All About Electrolysis

What Exactly Is This Treatment?

Electrolysis removes hair permanently by inserting a fine probe into each follicle and delivering a controlled electrical or radio-frequency current. This current destroys the follicle’s ability to regenerate hair without damaging surrounding tissue. It’s the only FDA-approved method for true permanent hair removal and works on all skin and hair types.

How does electrolysis work?

It uses a fine probe to deliver heat energy into each follicle, destroying the root so hair cannot regrow.

Is electrolysis safe?

Yes — it’s a proven, medically approved permanent hair removal method safe for all skin and hair types.

How many sessions will I need?

Multiple sessions are required, typically every 2–3 weeks, until all follicles in the area are treated and inactive.

Does electrolysis hurt?

Most clients experience mild warmth or a light sting, which subsides quickly. The treatment is generally well-tolerated.

Are there any side effects?

Temporary redness or swelling is common but fades within hours. Choosing a certified therapist minimises risk of irritation or infection.

How is electrolysis different from IPL or laser?

Electrolysis treats each follicle individually, making it the only permanent solution for all hair colours, including grey, red, and blonde hairs.
