HOW IT WORKS


Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs from the face or body. Electrolysis works by inserting a small electrical current into the area that needs to be treated.

There are three methods of electrolysis: galvanic, diathermy or blend.


Today's  electrolysis devices destroy the growth centre of the hair with chemical or heat energy. After a very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle, the hair is removed with tweezers.

Most areas of the body can be treated with electrolysis, including the eyebrows, face, abdomen, thighs, breasts, and legs. There are generally no permanent side effects, but sometimes a temporary, slight reddening of the skin may occur.

What Causes Unwanted Hair Growth?

Hair growth is the result of heredity and hormone levels. Also, some drugs, temporary methods of hair removal, and illnesses can stimulate hair growth. Electrolysis may be an option when hair growth is in an area of the body where it may not be desired such as on a woman's upper lip, chin, or bikini line.

How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will I Need?

Many factors influence hair growth, so you will need to return for several electrolysis visits. The total number of sessions needed to remove hair permanently from a particular area will vary from person to person. Most clients return once a week or every other week as needed. But the unwanted hair will be gone forever once the series of treatments is complete. Each treatment lasts between 15 minutes and one hour.



Your electrologist will give you a thorough consultation to understand the condition you wish to remove and to select the right method of electrolysis for you.

Thread vein Removal

Thread veins, or spider veins, are incredibly common in both men and women. They’re wrongly associated with old age and ageing skin, because those in their 20s can develop thread veins in their skin. While it’s true they can be triggered or more can develop during periods of hormonal influence such as pregnancy and the menopause, they can truly affect anyone at any age. They’re a natural part of your skin and usually nothing to worry about, but we understand that some may not like the appearance of their thread veins. This is why we offer thread vein removal using short wave diathermy.

Why spider veins occur

Thread veins are common in those who are stood up or on their feet a lot, for example nurses, teachers, factory workers, and hairdressers. The occur because of small malfunctions in the valves of your veins that may prevent blood from flowing normally. If these valves don’t close correctly when blood is being pumped, blood can leak back into the vein and become more visible over time. This is why they’re extremely common in the legs, because the blood cannot be moved against gravity and back up to the heart.

Common causes of thread veins (spider veins)

  • Thread veins can be hereditary
  • Obesity or weight gain
  • Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, puberty, or menopause
  • Using birth control pills
  • Hormone replacement therapy post-menopause
  • A family or personal history of blood clots

Thread vein removal us short wave diathermy

Short wave diathermy is a treatment used to lessen the visible appearance of thread veins. We use a very fine needle to prick the skin over the thread veins and deliver a controlled electrical current to the vein. This heats the walls, causing them to stick together and seal the vein off from further blood flow. Over the course of a few weeks, the vein disperses and is reabsorbed by the body, making it much less noticeable.

Thread vein removal downtime

After your treatment, your skin may be a little pink or puffy, but this should settle down after a few hours. A healing process then starts, and your results will be apparent 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. After this, we’d recommend a follow-up appointment to assess whether a second is needed. Everyone’s treatment journey with thread vein removal is different, so we take this process at your own pace and make our best recommendations for your individual case.

Preventing thread veins at home

There are some steps you can take at home to prevent the development of thread veins. The following help to enhance the blood flow in your legs:

  • Regular physical activity helps muscles in the legs push blood back to your heart against the force gravity that would usually help them collect. This will help prevent new veins from forming.
  • Losing weight may help, as carrying extra weight makes it more difficult for your veins to move blood back up to your heart.
  • Wearing compression stockings at home might be a good idea, because they help to increase blood flow from your legs.
