Electrolysis

An Alternative to Laser Hair Treatment

Not many people realise that Diathermy or Electrolysis (as it’s traditionally known) is actually the only hair removal system to be granted the title ‘permanent’ by the FDA. That’s because the follicle itself is completely removed and can’t regenerate.

It’s a great option for facial hair or other hair you want to remove forever. It was used by Hollywood starlets right back to the 1930s.

How does it work?

It involves a tiny needle, smaller than a hair, inserted into the hair follicle, which is hollow so you don’t feel discomfort.

Then a small amount of diathermy, which feels like a small burst of heat, is released into the follicle. This means the follicle will never grow again.

The heat cauterizes the tiny blood vessels supplying the hair and separates the dead hair from its base. The hair is then gently removed. Your initial appointment will include a detailed explanation of how the course of treatment will work for you.
