What Is Electrolysis Hair Removal?
Electrolysis is the only method of hair removal that is FDA-approved as 100% permanent. It uses a tiny, ultra-fine sterile probe to deliver a precise burst of energy directly into the hair follicle, destroying its ability to produce hair in the future.
Unlike laser hair removal— which relies on pigment and therefore works better on dark hair – electrolysis can effectively treat:
- All hair colours (including blonde, grey, red and white)
- All skin tones
- All hair types, even very fine or hormonally influenced hair
This makes electrolysis the gold standard for clients seeking truly permanent, refined, expert-level hair removal – especially for smaller, sensitive areas such as the face, chin, upper lip and bikini line.
Who Is Electrolysis Best For?
Electrolysis is ideal for clients looking for meticulous, permanent, medically led hair removal, particularly when other methods have failed or are unsuitable.
✔ Clients with light, blonde, white or grey hair
Laser cannot treat these hairs effectively – electrolysis is the only option that destroys them permanently.
✔ Those with hormonally driven hair growth
Perfect for treating unwanted facial hair due to PCOS, menopause or genetics.
✔ Individuals who want a truly permanent solution
Electrolysis is the only permanent method recognised by medical authorities.
✔ Clients with ingrown hairs or folliculitis
By eliminating the follicle, electrolysis prevents future ingrown hairs.
✔ People with sensitive skin or contraindications to laser
A gentle, targeted approach suitable for areas where laser may not be advised.
Why We Choose Electrolysis Over Other Permanent Hair Removal Methods
While laser hair removal is excellent for large areas and dark hair, electrolysis offers advantages that no other system can match:
1. Truly Permanent Results
Electrolysis is the only method approved as 100% permanent, whereas laser is classified as hair reduction.
2. Works on Every Hair Type and Colour
This includes blonde, red, grey, fine vellus hair and hormonally resistant growth.
3. Safe for Every Skin Tone
There is no risk of pigmentation changes, making it suitable for all Fitzpatrick types.
4. Precision for Delicate Areas
Electrolysis can safely treat areas where laser is too powerful or risky, including:
- Eyebrows
- Upper lip
- Chin
- Nipples
- Fingers and toes
5. Ideal for Final Hair Refinement After Laser
Many clients use electrolysis to remove the last few stubborn hairs that laser cannot target.
6. Long-Term Cost Efficiency
Because results are permanent, clients do not need lifelong maintenance.
