Electrolysis

Introduction

Electrolysis is a proven method for permanent hair removal. It’s a popular choice for those seeking a long-lasting solution to unwanted hair.

About the treatment

During an electrolysis treatment, a fine needle is inserted into each hair follicle. A gentle electrical current is then applied to destroy the hair root, preventing future hair growth.

Benefits, results and expected outcomes

Permanent Hair Reduction: Electrolysis offers long-lasting hair reduction results.
Versatility: It can be used to treat hair on various parts of the body, including the face and body.
Precision: The treatment allows for precise targeting of individual hair follicles.

While electrolysis is effective, it’s important to note that it can be a time-consuming process, especially for larger areas. Consulting with a qualified electrologist can help you determine if electrolysis is the right choice for your specific needs.

Pricing

Soprano Titanium – Frequently Asked Questions

Is electrolysis painful?

Some areas are more sensitive than others, we can prescribe a numbing cream to be applied 10 minutes before the treatment to alleviate this. During the treatment, a cryo skin cooling method can be used to reduce any discomfort. This is down to personal preference and is not standard practice.

How many electrolysis treatments will I need?

The number of treatments required will vary from person to person as each client will have a different density of hair growth, for example, there may be 50 or 500 hairs packed into a small area of skin tissue, whilst some clients will have less hair which is spaced out. This means that each treatment course will vary, and therefore no actual figure can be put on the number of treatments required, but you will quickly feel and see a difference giving you the confidence to continue with your treatment course.

What does the skin look like following treatment?

Generally, there is some mild redness and a little, localised swelling immediately following electrolysis. This will disappear after an hour or so depending on the skin sensitivity and skin type. Generally the next day your skin will show no sign of treatment however occasionally there may be tiny reddish-brown pinprick scabs, especially on body areas or where hairs are distorted or ingrown. These scabs drop off naturally within a few days to a week depending on the individual’s healing ability. If however, you notice any unexpected after-effects please make sure to mention them as sometimes it’s hard to tell how anyone’s skin will react at first.
