What is Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is a safe and effective method of permanent hair removal that works by targeting the hair follicle with a small electrical current. A fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle, and the current destroys the follicle’s ability to produce hair. Over time, this process ensures that the hair does not grow back, making electrolysis an excellent choice for individuals seeking a long-term solution to unwanted hair.

The Benefits of Electrolysis

Electrolysis offers a range of benefits that make it a preferred choice for those looking for permanent hair removal:

Permanent Results: Unlike temporary methods such as waxing, threading, or shaving, electrolysis provides a permanent solution to unwanted hair.
Suitable for All Skin and Hair Types: Electrolysis is effective on all hair colours, including blonde, red, grey, and white, which can be difficult to treat with laser hair removal.
Versatile Treatment Areas: It can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, underarms, legs, bikini area, and even sensitive areas like the eyebrows.
Safe and Effective: Electrolysis has been used for over 100 years and is a medically approved method for hair removal.
Minimal Side Effects: Most clients experience only slight redness or sensitivity after treatment, which quickly subsides.

What to Expect from Electrolysis at City Retreat in Newcastle

If you are new to electrolysis, you may be wondering what to expect from the treatment process. At City Retreat Beauty Salons & Spas, we ensure that each client receives a thorough consultation before beginning treatment. This is what you can expect during your session:

  • Consultation & Patch Test: Our experienced electrologist will assess your skin type, discuss your hair removal goals, and perform a patch test to ensure your skin responds well to the treatment.
  • The Treatment: A fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle, and a controlled electrical current is applied to disable the follicle’s ability to regrow hair.
  • Post-Treatment Care: After your session, we provide expert aftercare advice to help soothe the treated area and promote healing.

How Many Sessions Are Required?

Electrolysis is a progressive treatment, and multiple sessions are required to achieve the best results. The number of treatments needed depends on factors such as hair thickness, growth cycle, and the treatment area. Your therapist will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
