Electrolysis Treatment for permanent hair removal

Electrolysis is a process that uses specially designed equipment for permanent hair removal. A small amount of heat is used and targeted into the hair follicle to disturb the hair growth cycle. A course of treatments is needed to remove the undesirable hair. Electrolysis is a favoured modality for fair hairs such as grey, blonde or red where laser and IPL cannot be used on fair hair.

Electrolysis is still the only medically approved method of hair removal. Electrolysis should only be performed by accredited and experienced practitioners. Electrolysis via the Thermolysis method works by heating the hair matrix cells to about 48°C (118.4° Degree Fahrenheit), causing electrocoagulation. In this method, passage of a high-frequency current down the needle produces destructive heat in the follicular tissues by molecular vibration.

Electrolysis is still the only method of permanent hair removal Unlike laser or IPL which only offer permanent hair reduction.

Like any form of hair removal, there is a small amount of discomfort, but most people find it very tolerable. If you have a very low pain threshold there are steps, we can take prior to treatment that address this very effectively.

Skin Tags:

Removal of skin tags is simple and quick with electrolysis.
The procedure consists of cauterising the skin tag with an electrolysis needle.
This allows the electrolysis method to sufficiently destroy the skin tag growth.
This simple procedure typically lasts for five to ten minutes; discomfort is minimal.

Milea: Our experienced practitioner uses a sterilised, disposable probe to heating the milea which causes the structure to be destroyed.

Veins: These issues are much more common than many people would think, due to a combination of factors including ageing, UV Damage, and certain health and genetic conditions. Electrolysis has been used for more than 100 years to treat skin problems like broken facial capillaries. The ultra-fine needle cauterises blood in the damaged area to clear the blemish.

A consultation is required to check each client’s suitability for the treatment and to discuss realistic treatment outcomes.
