Electrolysis

Each individual hair is treated by inserting a tiny surgical probe into the hair follicle, with this in place, a tiny impulse of energy is transmitted down the hair root. The hair is then taken out, but not pulled. This is repeated over the entire area until it is cleared of unwanted hair.

For electrolysis to have a long term effect on hair growth, you will need to take a series of treatments. It works by coagulating the blood supply which feeds the hair follicle which weakens it. The hair over time will eventually stop growing. Every person is different in the time it actually takes for the hair to stop growing, it depends on other factors such as whether you have tampered with the hair or not. Our therapist will be happy to advise you on this

Disposable needles are used for each individual client session.
