The electrolysis procedure employs a needle that directs electric or radio wave energy to the hair follicle one follicle at a time. The energy destroys the follicle and the hair does not grow back. It is a safe, permanent method of permanent hair removal for both men and women.

Short Wave
A high frequency radio energy, which sets up a rapid oscillation or vibration in the cells of the follicle producing heat. Using this method, the hair tissue is then cauterized.

Galvanic
The Galvanic Method uses direct current to produce sodium hydroxide in the follicle, which then chemically acts to annihilate the hair tissue.

Blend
The Blend Method combines both the Short Wave and Galvanic modalities and, with the oscillation of the high frequency radio energy, produces heated sodium hydroxide to destroy the hair tissue.
 
Although the treatment is eventually permanent, several applications of the treatment are usually required to achieve this.

Some common questions about electrolysis:
 
Does it hurt ?
The sensation can be described as a pricking, mild burning sensation each time the needle is applied. Clients tend to report it as being uncomfortable rather than outright painful.
 
Is it safe and hygienic ?
Electrolysis is perfectly safe. Our therapist only uses Sterexä products, and is highly trained in the
use of the equipment. Treatment is only carried out on clients following a thorough consultation as demanded by strict Health and Safety requirements. All Sterexä needles are disposable, removed in a designated sharps box, and the therapist must wear disposable rubber gloves during treatment.
 
Are there any side effects ?
Skin reactions such as erythema (skin redness) and occasional weals or bumps from the follicle are common after electrolysis. This reaction subsides after the electrolysis treatment.
 
Is the therapist qualified and experienced ?
Our therapist is a fully qualified electrologist with many years of experience in the use of the Sterexä equipment. She will be happy to supply her professional credentials upon request.
 
Who can be treated with electrolysis ?
Electrolysis is suitable for both men and women who require a permanent solution to unwanted hair. It has also become popular with transgender males looking to permanently remove masculine facial hair.
 
Various hair removal treatments are available. How do I know which is best for me ?
We offer both waxing treatments and electrolysis treatments for hair removal. Our beautician will happily talk through both types of treatments on a client by client basis, based on their individual requirements. More information on waxing can be found in the waxing section in the treatment room.

I am embarrassed about my unwanted hair, is the therapist sympathetic and discreet ?
Our therapist is used to seeing clients’ unwanted hair and offers full assurance of client confidentiality.
