about the treatment
What Is Electrolysis Hair Removal?
Electrolysis involves inserting a fine probe into the hair follicle and applying an electric current to destroy the hair growth cells. This process prevents hair from regrowing, offering a permanent solution to unwanted hair. Unlike laser hair removal, which reduces hair growth, electrolysis is effective on all hair colours and skin types.
Key advantages of Electrolysis:
Works on light, dark, or even grey hairs, making it versatile for all clients.
Suitable for All Hair Types
Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis is safe for all skin tones.
Effective for All Skin Types
Targets individual hair follicles, making it ideal for smaller or sensitive areas like the face or bikini line.

Electrolysis vs. Laser Hair Removal
While both electrolysis and laser hair removal aim to address unwanted hair, they differ significantly. Unlike laser hair removal, which reduces hair growth, electrolysis is the only method for permanent hair removal. This makes it the gold standard for those seeking a definitive solution to unwanted hair.
Electrolysis is the only method approved by the FDA for permanent hair removal. Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction but may not eliminate all hair permanently.
Electrolysis can treat all hair colours and skin types, making it versatile for various areas, including the face, eyebrows, and bikini line. Laser hair removal is generally more effective on individuals with light skin and dark hair.
Electrolysis treats individual hair follicles, which can be time-consuming for larger areas. Laser hair removal covers larger areas more quickly but may require multiple sessions for optimal results. If you're looking for Electrolysis London, feel free to book your treatment with Elyse Clinic.
A Small Patch Test Is Required
A small patch test has to be carried at least 24 hours prior to your first Electrolysis treatment at the cost £10 (fully refundable against the cost of the subsequent treatment booked) so that we can ensure the treatment is the right fit for you and your medical history.

Frequently Asked Questions
Electrolysis is generally well-tolerated, with most clients experiencing only a mild tingling sensation. The advanced Apilus machine is designed to minimise discomfort, ensuring a more pleasant experience.
The duration depends on the treatment area. Smaller areas like the upper lip can take 15–30 minutes per session, while larger areas may require longer appointments. Multiple sessions are needed to effectively target all hair growth cycles.
Electrolysis hair removal costs vary based on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required. At Elyse Clinic, we offer competitive pricing starting at £30 per session.
After your session, it’s essential to follow these aftercare tips to protect your skin:
-
Moisturise: Use a gentle, fragrance-free lotion to keep your skin hydrated.
-
Avoid Heat: Refrain from hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise for 48 hours post-treatment.
-
Protect Your Skin: Apply sunscreen to treated areas to prevent hyperpigmentation.
-
Both methods have benefits, but electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. It’s ideal for smaller areas, lighter hair, and those seeking a permanent solution. On the other hand, laser hair removal is faster for more extensive areas. Still, it offers long-term hair reduction rather than permanent removal.
