How Does Electrolysis Hair Removal Work?

Electrolysis is a method of permanent hair removal with amazing results. Safe, reliable and gentle, electrolysis hair removal can be used to target hairs on the face, including the lip, chin and other small areas such as the underarm and nipple area. This is the only permanent form of hair removal on the market to date that is suitable for all skin and hair types, including red, white, grey, or brown/black hairs as it directly targets the source of growth.

By using a tiny, disposable, and sterile probe a direct current is delivered into the hair follicle, which overtime will permanently destroy, both active and dormant hairs within the follicle. Meaning that the hair follicle can no longer produce any other hairs after this phase. Because of this, hair growth will become thinner and finer, and eventually will stop growing. Therefore electrolysis is one of the only permanent hair removal methods around.

In most cases, several sessions carried out over a period of time are needed to stop hair growth entirely. If there is a hormonal imbalance causing this hair growth, it may take longer, but it is still feasible. If you are interested in electrolysis hair removal, please get in touch with us at either our Kensington or Wimbledon central London clinics.

Initial Consultation

Before we book you in for electrolysis hair removal at our Wimbledon or Kensington clinic, you will need a consultation with one of our skincare specialists. During the consultation, we will assess your skin type and any concerns, including which areas you would like to treat with permanent hair removal. By doing this, we can determine how many sessions you may need.

We will also carry out a patch test for your safety and well-being. This ensures that electrolysis hair removal is the right solution for you. We cannot carry out the treatment without first performing this patch test.

During Electrolysis Hair Removal

Please arrive at your appointment with clean skin, free of any makeup or products. It is important that you stop using any retinol/retinoid treatments or chemical exfoliators for at least three days before your appointment.

During treatment, the fine probe will be inserted down into the follicle, and the current passes through the follicle for about two seconds, depleting the blood supply. The hair will no longer be able to support itself and will be physically removed using sterile tweezers.

When electrolysis is performed, this creates follicular destruction and cauterising the blood supply to which the hair lies. Therefore overtime this will prevent other hairs growing in its place. After this process, the hair follicle can no longer reproduce. Because of this, upon completing your course of treatment, hair growth will be completely eradicated.

This process is relatively pain-free, although it can be uncomfortable. Please let one of our specialists know if you are in pain at any point during treatment, and we will stop right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please read our terms and conditions here.

Is electrolysis a permanent hair removal method?

Yes, electrolysis is one of the only permanent hair removal methods approved by the FDA and BMA. As the treatment damages the hair follicle, new hair growth is completely prevented.

Is electrolysis hair removal safe on the face?

Electrolysis is a safe, permanent hair removal method. It can be carried out on most areas of the face, including the eyebrows, lips and chin. It can also be used to treat various parts of the body.

Should you shave before electrolysis?

No, you should not shave before electrolysis hair removal. As a fine needle is used to destroy the hair follicle, the hair must be visible. Please do not pluck or wax 2-3 weeks before treatment, and do not shave 3-5 days before.

How many sessions will I need?

It is hard to estimate how many sessions you may need. The total clinical procedure may take up to 18 months but with sessions spaced apart. Your therapist will let you know how many sessions you may need in your consultation at our Wimbledon or Kensington clinic.
