Electrolysis

- a method of permanent removal of individual hairs from the face or body.

Electrolysis devices destroy the growth centre of the hair by sending a mild current down the very fine needle inserted into the hair follicle. A slight sensation is felt and the hair is removed with tweezers. This process cauterises the root of the hair and disrupts growth.

Most areas of the body can be treated with electrolysis, including face, abdomen, thighs, breasts, and legs. There are generally no permanent side effects, but sometimes a temporary, slight reddening of the skin may occur. Multiple sessions are required as hair has three different growing stages (growing, resting, and shedding).

Our salon always uses a new Sterile Disposable Needle per treatment session. The individually packed needles remain sealed and sterile until opened for your treatment and they are immediately disposed of thereafter.

Diathermy

- works by applying a minute current just underneath the skin surface by tapping a very fine needle along the affected area. A single-use, sterile, disposable needle is provided for each diathermy treatment.

Diathermy treats skin tags, thread veins, broken capillaries/red veins (spider veins) on the face and sometimes on the body depending on depth. Typically 3–6 treatments are required to clear facial veins but even after one treatment of diathermy there will be a noticeable difference.
