Electrolysis Hair Removal

As Hair Removal Experts we understand that Laser isn't the best option for everyone. For some people enjoy being sexy smooth and confident through the process of Electrolysis.

Electrolysis is effective on all skin and hair types and for this reason many clients with light colored or even gray hair love their results.

If you don't qualify for laser hair removal, Electrolysis is the best alternative in order to enjoy the benefits of feeling Sexy, Smooth and Confident.

The process is a bit more uncomfortable than laser, simply because our expert technicians place a sterilized needle into each hair Follicle, at which point an small electrical current is delivered to the base of the hair follicle, which in turn destroys the hair growth cells.

Don't let this scare you though; electrolysis can change your life for the better. Call us to book a free consultation today. Slough: 01753 522 071 Paddington: 0207 402 2772 Southall: 0208 571 0300

Electrolysis involves inserting a sterilized needle into each hair follicle, at which point an electrical current is delivered to the base of the follicle, thus destroying the hair growth cells.

Each hair is then individually removed using tweezers.

The most popular areas of treatment include the upper lip, chin, sides of the face, eyebrows, breast area and bikini line (the most sensitive parts of the body).

Most of my clients, including Men, Transsexuals and Transgender undergo electrolysis after an IPL/Laser treatment to target those few scattered individual hairs. Some clients switch from laser to electrolysis to treat the grey hairs since the laser only works on dark hair.

I suppose the good thing about electrolysis is that it's suitable for all skin types and hair colours. Hence, if you're not a candidate for laser treatment, electrolysis may be a viable alternative.

Electrolysis Hair Removal Procedure

On the day of your consultation, you will be assessed to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for electrolysis.

You will be asked a number of questions about your medical background and whether you suffer from any medical conditions that may prevent you from having electrolysis.

If you suffer from any medical conditions, you will need to present a doctor's note to our office before we can treat you.

If all is well, the area to be treated will be cleaned, and then a sterilized needle will be inserted into the hair follicle and a small electrical current delivered to the base. Once the hair has loosened, it will be removed individually with tweezers.

Some hair may need to be treated twice before it is removed. If you feel a pulling sensation, the hair has not been treated successfully, as it should come out quite smoothly.

A few dark hairs around the chin area will take approximately 5 minutes to remove. Larger areas, especially when treating fine hairs such as the sides of the face, will take longer.

If you have many fine hairs, you will probably need to make several visits to achieve successful results.

At the end of the treatment, you will probably notice raised bumps and a reddening of the area. This is a natural reaction, and the redness should disappear after a couple of hours. A soothing lotion will also be applied to the area.

It is also probable that tiny scabs will form around the follicle opening. This is a normal reaction, but don't try to pick these, as it will delay the healing process and may cause scarring.

Normally, you will attend the clinic on a weekly basis. Thereafter, when the hair growth starts to slow down, you can start coming in every two weeks and then every three weeks. Of course, your visit will depend entirely on your particular hair growth and the area to be treated.

Electrolysis Hair Removal Equipment and Technique

There are many different types of electrolysis hair removal equipment.

When you search for an electrologist, make sure that the individual uses a machine that performs the following three types of techniques to remove unwanted hair:

• Galvanic Electrolysis - most often used for thick, coarse hair
• Thermolysis - utilizes a high-frequency electrical current and is generally used on fine hair
• Blend Method - combines galvanic electrolysis and thermolysis and tends to be used for facial hair removal

In my opinion, the most effective machine is the Aplius. Many of my clients who have previously undergone electrolysis elsewhere will notice a difference with this machine.

It is much more comfortable, effective and less painful than any other electrolysis machines.
