ELECTROLYSIS
-
HOW DOES IT WORK?A very fine sterile probe is inserted into each individual hair follicle sending a localised electrical current which heats up the tissue surrounding the follicle. This damages the follicle including the stem cells that allow the hair to grow. With every electrolysis session, your hair will become noticeably smaller and finer, and it will take much longer for it to grow back. After your treatment is completed, your hair shouldn't grow back at all.
DOES IT HURT?You may experience a heat sensation or mild discomfort from the current which allows the hair to detach from the follicle and slide out.

POST TREATMENTEvery individual responds differently but some redness and swelling may occur, but usually subsides within a few hours to a few days. It's rare to get scabbing and tiny blisters, but rest assured it is not permanent.

POST CAREIt is extremely important to follow strict guidelines to avoid any skin complications.
– Avoid picking, scratching and touching the skin straight after treatment
– Keep skin clean and hydrated post treatment
– Avoid any active skincare ie vitamin A, C, AHA's etc (24-48 hrs)
– sauna, hot water, strenuous exercise (24-48 hrs)
– Avoid tweezing, threading, waxing the hairs at all times whilst having treatments (can trim/shave in-between treatment).
– Avoid abrasive exfoliation (up to 72hrs)
