Electrolysis Hair Removal
Experience Lasting Smoothness with Electrolysis Hair Removal
Blended Electrolysis is a method of permanent hair removal that combines two different electrolysis techniques: thermolysis (aka high-frequency electrolysis) and galvanic electrolysis. The combination of both methods enhances the effectiveness in destroying hair follicles. While the process may induce mild discomfort, our attentive team prioritises your comfort.
How it works
- Thermolysis: Alternating Current (AC) generates heat within the hair follicle. The heat damages the protein structure in the hair follicle, which in turn destroys its potential for growth.
- Galvanic Electrolysis: Direct Current (DC) produces a reaction within the follicle. The current causes a chemical transformation which destroys the hair follicle.
- Consistency: Our hair grows in cycles, and it is at the active anagen phase, where the hair follicles are effectively treated.
The Benefits
- Enhanced Effectiveness: The combination of heat and chemical action makes this treatment more effective for a wider range o skin and hair type, particularly for coarse or resistant hairs.
- Faster results: The combination of thermolysis and galvanic electrolysis achieves faster results than using either method individually.
- Versatile: Suitable for all skin and hair types, including those that are difficult to treat with other hair removal methods.
- Permanent hair removal: Blended electrolysis offers permanent hair removal by effectively destroying the hair follicle.
Procedure
- A fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle whilst emitting a controlled electrical current.
- The duration of the session is dependant on the size of the treated area.
- Multiple sessions are required to achieve permanent hair removal.

FAQs
Is blended electrolysis painful?
The level of discomfort varies from person to person. Some individuals may feel a slight tingling or stinging sensation during the procedure. To minimise discomfort, a topical anaesthetic may be applied before treatment.
How long does each session take?
The duration of a blended electrolysis session depends on the size of the treatment area and the density of the hair. Sessions can range from 15 minutes to an hour or more. Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve complete hair removal.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and temporary skin irritation at the treatment site. These typically subside within a few hours to a few days. Rare side effects include scarring or pigmentation changes, which are usually minimised by following aftercare instructions.
Can blended electrolysis be used on all hair types and colours?
Yes, one of the advantages of blended electrolysis is that it is effective on all hair types and colours, including fine, light, or grey hairs that may not respond well to laser hair removal.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
There is typically no significant downtime after blended electrolysis. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately. However, it is recommended to avoid activities that may irritate the skin, such as swimming in chlorinated pools, hot tubs, and strenuous exercise, for 24-48 hours after treatment.
How permanent is blended electrolysis?
Blended electrolysis is considered a permanent hair removal method because it destroys the hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. However, because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are necessary to target all hair follicles during their active growth phase.
Can blended electrolysis be used for sensitive skin?
Yes, blended electrolysis can be used on sensitive skin, but it’s important to consult with the electrologist beforehand. They can adjust the treatment settings to minimise irritation and ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible for those with sensitive skin.
