ELECTROLYSIS
PERMENANT HAIR REMOVAL - FASTER RESULTS - EXCEPTIONAL COMFORT
Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal method that utilizes electrical currents to target and destroy hair follicles. Unlike temporary methods like Laser, shaving or waxing, electrolysis aims to provide a long-lasting solution by removing the follicles’ ability to produce a new hair. It involves using a fine, sterile probe inserted into an individual follicle. A small amount of electrical current is then applied, targeting the root of the hair—this electrical current damages the hair follicle, inhibiting future hair growth. Electrolysis is a versatile technique suitable for all skin tones and hair types, including light or fine hair that may be challenging to treat with other methods. With its precision and ability to target specific areas, electrolysis ensures long-lasting and permanent results.
ONLY ELECTROLYSIS can remove the hair from the root and also destroy the stem cells of the hair follicle, thus leading to permanent hair removal of unwanted hairs.
CONTRADICTIONS
Despite the fact that the process of electrolysis is considered the safest among other methods of hair removal, there are a number of contraindications to this procedure:

- Diabetes.
- Endocrine disorder / hormone imbalance.

- Emphysema.
- Fungal / Bacterial / Viral Infections.
- Lupus.

- Medication - certain medications can restrict electrolysis. A Doctor’s letter is required, as electrologists will not be knowledgeable enough about certain medications to make the decision.
- Metal plates and pins etc.
- Pregnancy i.e. the first trimester when the viability of the fetus is questionable and treatment below the neck area with Blend or Galvanic is not recommended.
- Psoriasis in treatment area.
- Skin conditions in treatment area.
It is vital that a client with any of the above conditions is given G.P.’s permission before treatment commences. Please contact us if you have any questions about the above contradictions.
Electrolysis with the following conditions may be restricted:
- Asthma: Inhalers are normally steroid based which can have an influence on hair growth.
- Diabetes: if insulin dependent will need GP referral, if controlled by diet, the skins healing rate will be slower
- Epilepsy.
- Hyper / Hypo pigmentation problems.
- Hiatus hernia (positioning).
- High blood pressure (where under medical supervision).
Depending upon the severity of the condition will determine whether treatment can commence. A Doctor’s letter may be required for safety and insurance purposes.
