Electrolysis hair removal has been around for over a 100 years and is the most effective way of removing hair permanently. Contrary to popular belief this method is not slow, in fact up to 500 hairs can be removed within an hour! In addition, all hair types can be treated and electrolysis can also be used on any skin type, making it number one for permanent hair removal.  

A fine probe is inserted alongside the hair follicle and a current is applied to the root, this damages further hair growth and progressively stops hair coming back for good. Most clients describe the treatment as comfortable though if you’re sensitive numbing cream can be applied for comfort.There are 3 methods of electrolysis which are thermolysis, galvanic and blend. Blend is generally the most popular choice and the most effective.

Laser hair removal works by emitting a controlled heat source via a beam (or beams) of light, which is selectively absorbed by the melanin (pigment). This then damages the root disabling its activity and long term results. 

 

Generally laser treatments are very quick and large areas can take as little as 30 minutes. Between 4 and 8 treatments are required as hair growth stages play a key role in follicle destruction. However, this is dependent on the individual some may require less others more.   

The treatment is gentle and non evasive-clients often describe the sensation between slight warmth or tingling and ice packs are used before during and after treatments for added comfort.
