My personal experience of electrolysis…
As someone who has suffered with unwanted facial hair, I feel I have a particular affinity with my clients, as I have personally endured razors, creams, tweezers, in fact anything that would get rid of the unsightly hairs on my face.
I went to a local salon without knowing anything much about electrolysis. I underwent treatment for about a year, but in spite of the hairs reducing in strength, I experienced regular ‘scabbing’ after each treatment.
As I was about 18 yrs old at the time, I didn’t like to complain, so I didn’t say much. eventually over the months, the regular scabs turned into scars.
It was not until I studied electrolysis during my beauty therapy training, that I learnt that the salon had inflicted a very ‘poor’ technique on me. I was appalled as I had a lot of pitted scarring on my neck and chin.
In my subsequent years as an electrolysis practitioner, I have always made it very clear to all my clients during the consultation, the importance of the skins reaction and healing after the treatment, as I would not want anyone to experience the same as I did.
Occasionally in the past, I have come across clients who have had electrolysis and it has been unsuccessful. Again, this has largely come down to ‘incorrect techniques’, mainly not administering the correct current intensity and then plucking out the hairs.
I endeavour to give all my clients, the best treatment possible and ensure that they are completely aware of what they are undertaking, so that they can have have confidence in the treatment and look forward to a hair free future.

What Is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a safe, effective, gradual and permanent method of removing unwanted hair. It is the only genuine permanent method of hair removal, and for that reason, a treatment in great demand. It is the only medically approved method (by The British Medical Association) to be permanent. It was first used in 1875 by ophthalmologist Dr Charles E Michel to treat ingrowing eyelashes.
