Electrolysis
Permanent hair removal Electrolysis is a high frequency method using heat to destroy the dermal papilla (through which the hair receives nourishment) by cauterizing and disabling it without damaging the outer layer of the skin. The hair is then easily removed. Electrolysis can be used If you have surplus hair which upsets or embarrasses you, even if it is just one stray hair. Electrolysis can be used to remove hair from any part of the body except within the ear and nose. Therapists work most often on the face, arms, legs, bikini line, tummy and breasts. You must check with your doctor first if you think you may have any medical conditions that can be affected by this treatment.
Ask your therapist if you are unsure about any medical issues.

FAQS
How does it work?
Light is absorbed by Melanin, the pigment in the hair follicle. The light energy heats the pigment and effectively destroys the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding cell. The laser or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released, which target many follicles simultaneously. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area of the skin and the process is repeated until the entire area is covered. For IPL treatments, a thin layer of gel is applied to the skin to help guide the light.
Who is suitable for treatment?
Most people are suitable for treatment. Best results are seen with people who have lighter skin and darker hair. Dark hair is more easily treated as it has a high concentration of melanin. Fair hair however contains less melanin so is harder to treat. Grey/white hair can be treated with Electrolysis, a permanent method of hair removal, which we also offer at the clinic.
How does the treatment feel?
Treatment sensation varies but is often described as a ‘flick of an elastic band’. No anaesthetic is required and most clients describe the discomfort as moderate and tolerable.
What will I see after treatment?
The hair follicles are damaged by the heat but the hairs remain in the follicles. The dead hairs shed after 1 to 3 weeks as the epidermis renews. During this period the hairs will seem to grow as they are pushed out by the new epidermis.
Are there any side effects?
The skin may be red immediately after treatment and the hair follicles may be swollen and raised but this usually subsides within a few hours. Adverse reactions are rare but may include a small blister or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.
How many treatments are necessary?
Only hair that is actively growing is affected, therefore multiple treatments are needed. Treatments are conducted every 4 to 8 weeks depending on the area being treated, until a good result is seen. The number of treatments varies, although typically 6 treatments or more are needed for optimum results.
How long does treatment take?
Treatments can take as little as 10 minutes and up to 1 hour, depending upon the size of the area being treated. Rest assured, with ALL the available methods of hair removal at our clinic we will assess your needs and advise you as to the best treatment for you at your consultation. Remember, your satisfaction is our reputation. We want you to achieve the best possible outcome.
