ELECTROLYSIS

---

Electrolysis has been used for more than 100 years to treat problems such as broken capillaries, spider naevi and warts. Successfully removes, visibly reduces and improves the appearance of unwanted skin blemishes, offering immediate and effective results. 

• Red Veins and Spider Naevi: fading begins about three weeks after treatment, with the broken capillaries beginning to disappear. Up to three treatments may be required, although there may be a noticeable difference after just one treatment.

• Skin Tags: small blemishes are cauterised and removed instantly, with small red marks or scabbing appearing after treatment. These will disappear after 7-14 days.

• Milia: the current cauterises the blemish and the milia is reabsorbed back into the skin. Results can start to show up to a month after treatment.

• Warts/Verrucas: two treatments are needed, taken eight weeks apart.

• Seborrhoeic Keratosis: the current is used to lift away and cauterise and scabs will appear for up to two weeks, then you will see that the blemish has been fully removed.

• Sebaceous Cyst: cysts can be quite persistent, depending on their size and the area to be treated. Several treatments maybe needed to reduce or remove the cyst.

• Syringoma: the current applied will shrink the blemish. Small crusts and swellings will then appear, taking up to two weeks to heal.  Several treatments may be needed, depending on the area to be treated.

• Xanthelasma: the current shrinks the blemish, small crusts and swellings will appear which will take up to 2 weeks to heal.  Several treatments may be needed depending on the area to be treated.

• Age Spot Removal: blemishes are lifted away and cauterised, leaving small scabs that will disappear over a couple of weeks.

• Mole Reduction: reduced by half its size in a single treatment and will continue to reduce as the scab forms and disappears. One top-up treatment may be necessary.

Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs from the face or body which involves passing an electrical current through a hair follicle, which damages the follicle and prevents new hair growth. 

The only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal. 

• Permanent: because each individual hair has its’ own growing cycle called Anagen, Catagen and Telogen, each individual hair requires repeated treatments. Successful treatment for electrolysis has to target the hair in Anagen (growing stage) to achieve optimum results as it is the destruction of the dermal papilla which is required. 
• Versatility: electrolysis is effective for people with any skin type, skin color, hair type, and hair color. Electrolysis is suitable for any area of the body — including the eyebrows.
• No recovery time: you can resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure.
• Maintenance-free: there is no need to schedule an annual electrolysis session — once the hair has been removed no more treatments are necessary.
• No harsh chemicals: electrolysis does not require the use of chemicals on the skin.

Treatment times will depend on the amount of hair to be removed, concern and the area in which is being treated.
