Advanced Electrolysis – Hair & Skin

Electrolysis is a hair removal treatment. The process involves an extremely fine needle, often finer than the hair. It is inserted  into the hair follicle under the surface of the skin. An electric current travels down to the bottom of the follicle, destroying the hairs blood supply to the hair root. The damage prevents hair from growing and causes the existing hair to fall out. The skin where the needle enters may feel temporarily hot or like a pinch.

You will need several appointments per area treated. The number of sessions needed to achieve permanent hair removal differs from person to person. Typically, the beginning of the hair removal journey you will need an appointment every week or every other week. The appointments can last for up to a year and a half and become a matter of top up sessions as and when any new hair appears.Treatment length depends on several factors, including the body area and the type of hair growing there. If you’re treating a larger area, or an area with coarse hair, you’ll need more treatments.

Electrolysis has been around for more than 100 years. It was first invented to remove irritating ingrown eyelash hairs. Unlike laser, Electrolysis is the only official FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal.

Advanced Electrolysis is a treatment that uses a Thermolysis current and a very fine needle to either cauterise or lift away the superficial epidermis, depending on the type of blemish that is being treated.  Shrivelling or Coagulating the skin and blood supply to the lesions, causing them to either scab over and fall away, or disperse into the skins natural healing process.

This procedure can remove blemishes such as: Red Veins and blood spots, Milia, Skin Tags, small moles and other cutaneous lesions . Advanced Electrolysis is suitable for all skin types and is an extremely safe treatment with long lasting results. We only use Sterex professional products. Disposable probes are used to totally eliminate cross infection.

Electrolysis clients generally describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable, with a warm stinging sensation which they find to be easily tolerable. Generally allow two weeks after the treatment for swelling, redness and scabs/crusts to disappear, with results being more easily visible up to a month later. However initial scabs can be formed within the first 3 days post treatment.
