FAQ's
What is Electrolysis - Electrolysis is a permanent way to remove unwanted individual hairs from the face and body. It involves inserting a very fine needle into the natural opening of the hair, alongside the hair shaft, to deliver a micro pulse of electricity to the base of the follicle. The hair then easily slides out and removed.
What causes unwanted hair growth - Hair growth may be the result of inherited genes and hormonal levels. Also, some medicines, temporary methods of hair removal and certain illnesses can stimulate hair growth. Regardless of the cause, electrolysis will permanently remove unwanted hair.
Areas where electrolysis is undertaken include most facial and body parts including eyebrows, chin, upper and lower lip, jaw line, sides of the face, breasts, underarms, abdomen, bikini line, fingers and toes, legs and back.
It is not suitable for the inside of the nose, the inner ear or moles.
Hair Cycle - Hair grows in different stages: growing, resting and shedding. Because all of the hair isn't on the same stage at any given time, multiple sessions are needed to get the hair in the growth phase for electrolysis to be most effective. You must be truly committed to electrolysis for successful results.
How many treatments will I need - The number of treatments required will vary to each person so are tailored to meet each client’s needs. The number and length of the session will depend on individual circumstances, including a person's pain threshold. You will need to have regular appointments over a period of time (minimum of one year if not more) for most areas. You will begin to see a difference three months after total clearance of the treated area, giving you confidence to continue with your treatment plan, provided you adhere to the recommended treatment schedule and aftercare.
Recommendation when starting Electrolysis - If you have been waxing, shaving, or tweezing, it is most likely that the hair follicle has been distorted. This means the hair is not growing straight under the surface of the skin, so only part of the hair is initially treated.
Once you decide to start treatment, I recommend that you STOP removing the hair yourself and allow electrolysis treatments remove all the unwanted hair. This allows the hair to start growing its natural straight course allowing for accuracy to target the hair root. Electrolysis is not effective if you continue to remove unwanted hair yourself in between treatments.
What are the side effects of electrolysis - There is usually some mild redness and swelling straight after treatment, but this usually disappears after a few hours.
Some small red scabs may be seen the day after treatment; this is the normal healing process of the skin. Provided you take the recommended aftercare instructions, these scabs will fall off naturally, leaving your skin smooth and hair free.
Does it hurt -Electrolysis has been described as a stinging and pricking sensation. The level of discomfort can vary depending on the sensitivity of the area being treated and your own tolerance to pain
Consultation - will include, health assessment, previous use of temporary methods of hair removal, the process of Electrolysis and any questions/concerns. Finally aftercare information to maintain your skin during treatments.
