Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal and the only method that can treat any combination of hair colours and skin tones. Short-wave diathermy current is used, and this current creates heat, which is delivered to the hair at the root. The heat dries up all the moisture, living cells and blood supply at the root of the hair, thus destroying it. Although this is classed as a permanent removal of hair, the result is achieved over a period of time. The hair cycle of growth involves three stages; one of these stages is the active stage and is the ideal stage to be destroyed, Whist the hair is resting or breaking down the treatment is not so successful. As the growth cycle cannot be changed a number of insertions will automatically have to be repeated as the hair moves through the growing cycle. Regular treatments will ensure the hairs are all treated over a period of time. It is important to remember that a high percentage of hairs are in the growing stage at any one time. Skin sensitivity must also be considered, therefore hair growth is often destroyed in stages ensuring the skin does not suffer any unnecessary trauma.
A consultation is required before any treatment can commence and this is free.
