Electrolysis for Permanent Hair Removal
Electrolysis is a hair removal treatment that uses a controlled electrical current to destroy individual hair follicles. Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis can treat hair regardless of its colour, making it an option for people with light, grey or white hair.
At Skintisfaction, electrolysis treatments are tailored to your hair growth pattern, treatment areas and individual needs. Your clinician will assess the areas you wish to treat and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Benefits of Electrolysis at Skintisfaction
Permanent Hair Removal
When a hair follicle is successfully treated, it cannot produce another hair. Multiple sessions are generally needed to treat hairs as they enter the right growth stages.
Works on Different Hair Colours
Electrolysis can treat blonde, grey, white and red hair, which may not respond well to laser hair removal.
Suitable for Different Skin Tones
Electrolysis can be used across a range of skin tones, with treatment tailored to the individual.
Precision Treatment
Each hair follicle is treated individually, making electrolysis suitable for smaller areas and isolated unwanted hairs.
No Dependence on Hair Pigment
Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis does not rely on pigment in the hair to target the follicle.
Hair Concerns We Address with Electrolysis
Electrolysis may be suitable for unwanted hair in areas where precise, long-term hair removal is desired.
Fine Facial Hair
Treat selected areas, such as the upper lip, chin, and cheeks, where individual hairs require precise removal.
Light-Coloured Hair
An option for blonde, grey, white and red hair that may not respond well to laser treatment.
Hormonal Hair Growth
Address unwanted facial or body hair associated with hormonal changes. Ongoing growth may require additional sessions.
Ingrown Hair-Prone Areas
Electrolysis may help reduce unwanted hair in selected areas where shaving or other removal methods contribute to irritation.
Post-Laser Touch-Ups
Treat individual hairs that remain after laser hair removal.
Eyebrow Shaping
Remove selected unwanted hairs to maintain a defined eyebrow shape.
What to Expect During Your Electrolysis Treatment
1. Consultation and Assessment
Your appointment begins with a review of your hair growth pattern, treatment goals, skin condition and medical history.
2. Precision Probe Application
A fine probe is inserted into the opening of an individual hair follicle, and a controlled electrical current is applied to damage the follicle’s growth-producing structures.
3. Follicle Treatment
Treated hairs are removed individually. The time required depends on the treatment area, hair density and number of hairs being addressed.
4. Aftercare and Follow-Up
You’ll receive guidance on caring for the treated skin. Multiple appointments are usually necessary because hair grows in cycles, and not every hair can be effectively treated during one session.
Areas We Treat with Electrolysis
Face and Neck
Remove unwanted hair from the upper lip, chin, cheeks, and neck.
Eyebrow Area
Refine eyebrow shape by removing selected unwanted hairs.
Body Areas
Treat selected areas of the arms, legs and other body regions where precise hair removal is appropriate.
Sensitive Areas
Electrolysis may be suitable for selected sensitive areas following an assessment of the treatment area and your individual needs.
Frequently Asked Questions About Electrolysis
Pricing depends on the treatment area, session duration and amount of hair to be treated. Contact Skintisfaction for current pricing and consultation information.
The treatments work differently. Electrolysis treats individual follicles and can provide permanent removal of successfully treated hairs. Laser hair removal generally reduces hair growth across larger areas. The appropriate option depends on your hair characteristics, skin and treatment goals.
Electrolysis can cause brief sensations of heat, stinging or discomfort as individual follicles are treated. The experience varies by treatment area and personal sensitivity. Your clinician can discuss ways to manage discomfort.
The number of sessions depends on the size of the treatment area, hair density, growth cycles and individual response. Repeated appointments are usually required to treat hairs as they become suitable for treatment.
Yes. Electrolysis does not depend on hair pigment, so it can treat white, grey, blonde and red hair that may not respond well to laser hair removal.
Electrolysis can be performed on different skin tones. Temporary redness, swelling or irritation may occur, and appropriate technique and aftercare are important. Your clinician will assess your skin and explain the potential risks before treatment.
