    Electrolysis is a great option for people looking for a permanent solution to unwanted hair, and this treatment remains the only method of permanent hair removal endorsed by the British Medical Association and approved by the FDA.

    Areas Treated

    Electrolysis is perfect for all hair types and colours, both vellus (downy) and terminal (thicker, coarser) hair, particularly in smaller areas such as:

    - Upper and lower lips

    - Chin

    - Jawline

    - Hairline

    - Sides of the face

    It is also ideal following laser treatment, which is the permanent reduction of unwanted hair.

    How Does It Work?

    Electrolysis permanently destroys the hair unit to prevent regrowth. This is achieved by the electrologist gliding a small needle, no greater in size than an eyelash, into the hair follicle where she administers a tiny current. Depending on the method used, the hair unit will be cauterised or dissolved.

    There are two types of electrolysis offered at the clinic.

    Diathermy: Uses current to generate heat to cauterise the hair unit. This method is ideal for straight, non-pigmented (white/grey), and red hair. It’s the fastest in-clinic procedure taking approximately 1.5 seconds per hair but may take longer overall for permanent results.

    Blend: is a combination of diathermy and galvanic electrolysis. 'Galvanic' converts the salts and fluids in and around the hair follicle into a small amount of sodium hydroxide (lye) to dissolve the unit. A small amount of heat (diathermy) is used to quicken the process, so it takes approximately 5 seconds per hair.

    Your electrologist will advise the best method for you during your consultation.

  • Using advanced diathermy electrolysis, this treatment targets common skin blemishes safely and effectively.

    Includes:

    • Skin Tags & Milia – Removed (excluding those within the orbital eye area)

    • Facial Red Veins & Spider Naevi – Reduced by 60–80%

    • Bright Red Blood Spots – Often disappear completely

    Who it’s for:
    Clients looking for safe removal of visible blemishes with minimal downtime.

    Consultation:
    Complimentary. Patch test and treatment cost quoted individually.
