Description
Electrolysis is a method of permanent hair removal that works by delivering a small electrical current into each individual hair follicle, effectively destroying the growth centre of the hair. It is suitable for hair colours and areas that are not always suited to laser.
Best suited for
- All hair colours, including blonde, red, grey and white hair
- All skin tones
- Small or stubborn areas not suitable for laser
- Hormonal hair growth (PCOS, menopause, chin, jawline, neck)
- Clients wanting permanent hair removal
- Stray, residual hairs left after laser hair removal
Post-care

- Avoid heat, sweating, exercise, saunas, and hot showers for 24–48 hours
- Keep the area clean and avoid touching or picking
- Avoid makeup on the treated area for 24 hours (if treated on the face)
- No active skincare, exfoliants, or retinoids for 3–5 days
- Apply soothing, antibacterial or calming products as advised
- Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF once the skin has settled
