Electrolysis is the ideal hair removal treatment when IPL or laser are not a suitable option. It can be performed on light/grey hairs and on darker skins.

Using sterile, disposable needles which are very fine, this technique destroys the cells which cause hair growth. By using a very low current of electricity through the needle, which has been inserted into the hair follicle. 

Electrolysis has been used for permanent hair removal for over 135 years and has been clinically proven to be an effective and safe treatment method when performed by an experienced operator. Sally our Senior skin Therapist has been doing this treatment for over 26 years.

A consultation is a pre-requisite.
