Question 1

How does Electrolysis treatment work?

Accepted Answer

Electrolysis treatment works by inserting a very fine, sterile probe into the natural opening of each individual hair follicle. A small electrical current is then delivered to destroy the hair root and prevent future growth. Once the follicle has been effectively treated, the hair is gently removed with tweezers. By targeting each follicle individually, electrolysis permanently disables the hair’s ability to regrow, making it a highly precise and effective solution for long-term hair removal across all hair colours and skin types.

Question 2

How is the treatment carried out?

Accepted Answer

Electrolysis treatment begins with a consultation to assess the area, hair type, and growth pattern. During the procedure, a very fine, sterile probe is carefully inserted into the natural opening of each hair follicle. A small electrical current is then applied to destroy the root, and the treated hair is gently removed with tweezers. The process is repeated follicle by follicle to ensure precise, permanent results. Treatment time varies depending on the size of the area, and you can return to normal daily activities immediately afterwards.

Question 3

Are there any side effects to Electrolysis treatment?

Accepted Answer

Electrolysis treatment is generally very safe when performed by a trained professional. Common side effects are mild and temporary, and may include slight redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area immediately afterwards. Occasionally, small scabs can form as the skin heals, which should be left undisturbed. These reactions typically settle within a few hours to a few days. During your consultation, we will explain what to expect and provide personalised aftercare guidance to ensure optimal healing and results.

Question 4

Is Electrolysis treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

Electrolysis treatment is generally well tolerated, though sensation can vary depending on the area being treated and your individual sensitivity. Most patients describe the feeling as a brief stinging, warmth, or slight pinprick as the electrical current is delivered to each follicle. Discomfort is typically mild and short-lived, and treatment settings can be adjusted to maintain comfort. Any tenderness afterwards usually settles quickly, allowing you to return to your normal activities.

Question 5

How long before I see results?

Accepted Answer

You will notice immediate results in the sense that treated hairs are removed during the session and the targeted follicles are permanently disabled. However, because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to treat each follicle during its active growth phase. Over time, you will see a progressive reduction in hair density and regrowth, with areas becoming smoother and finer until permanent clearance is achieved.
