Electrolysis & Advanced Electrolysis

Restore Your Confidence

Unwanted hair is a concern for many people, resulting in regular removal methods such as waxing, plucking, threading and shaving. These are temporary and time consuming, and can lead to skin problems, damage and marking. Electrolysis is an effective way to eradicate unwanted hair for good, without scarring, giving life enhancing / changing results, restoring skin condition and confidence.

Electrolysis is a medically approved process to permanently remove unwanted hair. It is extremely effective on all types of hair and can successfully remove all colours, including white.

Electrolysis can be used on most areas of the face and body for both male and female clients, regardless of skin colouring.

How it Works

It is performed by sliding a very fine sterile probe into the hair follicle. The follicle is a natural opening in the skin, so the skin is not pierced in any way.

The probe is as fine as the hair itself. A small amount of electrical current is released, which heats or creates a chemical reaction within the follicle. This gradually destroys the follicle at molecular level which stops any more hairs from growing. It is a progressive treatment with hairs gradually becoming finer and weaker, until they no longer grow.

Advanced Electrolysis Cosmetic Procedures

Skin Tags

These are small, soft skin-coloured growths on your skin. They can vary in colour and size, mostly seen around the neck, armpits, abdomen and groin. They are harmless and quickly treated.

Moles

These are small, coloured lesions. They can vary greatly in size and depth and can appear anywhere on the face and body.

Warts and Verrucae

These appear as small rough lumps on the skin, they are caused by a virus and can spread easily through skin contact, therefore they should be treated quickly or kept covered.

Xanthelasma

These are sharply demarcated yellowish deposits of cholesterol underneath the skin. They usually occur around the eyelids.

Syringoma

These small bumps can be seen around the lower eyelids and upper cheeks, caused by an overgrowth of cells from sweat glands. They appear in young adulthood and are completely harmless.

Cherry angiomas / Campbell de Morgan spots

These are harmless dark red spots and can appear singly or in clusters.

Dermatosis papulosa nigra

This describes the presence of multiple small, smooth black or brown papules on the face and neck.

Sebaceous hyperplasia

Small, shiny bumps, caused by the sebaceous glands becoming blocked and enlarged.

Seborrhoeic keratosis

These are also known as seborrhoeic warts. They are harmless growths due to a build-up of skin cells. They can vary in size, often looking dark brown and crusty and appear anywhere on the face and body. We are more predisposed to these as we get older and they can become quite large, dry and irritating.

Brown pigmentation

Often called ‘age spots’. This condition is caused by hyperpigmentation and is aggravated by exposure to the sun. Patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin, occurring when an excess of melanin (brown pigment) forms deposits in the skin.

Broken capillaries

These are tiny dilated or enlarged blood vessels just beneath the surface of the skin, they usually appear around the nose, cheeks and chin.

Milia

These are white pearly bumps. They are characterised by being hard, containing solidified keratin, they can vary in size and some can become quite large. They are quickly and easily removed by a specialist and should not be squeezed!

Electrolysis Frequently Asked Questions

Because electrolysis involves the destruction of the follicle using coagulation techniques, there is a slight stinging sensation. This is very fast, lasting about a second in most cases. The Apilus technology is extremely versatile and the sensation can be adjusted to ensure you are as comfortable as possible.

Electrolysis boasts the longest proven track record for the only form of permanent hair removal, backed by the BMA. If you choose to have treatment with me as a BIAE member you can be assured that I have reached the highest standards of expertise to gain entry to this organisation. At your consultation I will devise a bespoke treatment plan. It is advisable to follow a regular treatment plan to get the best results. Clients can also take advantage of the free photo diary service which tracks progress from the start.

The length of the treatment plan depends on the hairs to be removed, their strength (fine or coarse), the area they are in and the condition of the surrounding skin, and also the hair’s history …. what removal methods have been used previously ie. plucking, and for how long. The criteria change, from person to person and is why a consultation is important. At the end of your consultation, you will be given an approximate time plan taking into account your individual circumstances.

Electrolysis is charged by time increments. The size of the area to be treated and the density of the hair theron will determine the time and cost. Any area will need to be treated a few times in order to permanently remove all unwanted hairs. During your free consultation an approximate costing can be worked out.

It is a safe and easy way to remove stubborn blemishes and imperfections. Red veins, milia, blood spots, sebaceous hyperplasia, skin tags and more can be easily treated with advanced electrolysis, leaving you with a clear complexion.
The treatment consists of pulses of a high frequency current that coagulate and or dehydrate the vessels and spots that cause the blemish. It is safe and quick, and in most instances, immediate improvements are visible.

Most skin blemishes can be removed in one treatment with a visible improvement being seen immediately. Some conditions may require more than one session to remove entirely, this is discussed in the consultation phase.

Because the process involves heat there is a slight stinging sensation. Discomfort can be kept to a minimum with the use of topical numbing cream, if required. Scabbing or crusting is a normal part of the skin’s healing process and is expected after advanced electrolysis procedures. The crusts should be allowed to come away naturally revealing clearer, blemish free skin.
