Understanding Unwanted Hair Growth
Unwanted hair is common and can be influenced by genetics, hormones, medication, and life stages. It affects people of all genders and skin tones and can appear on the face or body.
If you have persistent or hormonal hair growth (including PCOS), you’re not alone—and you’re welcome here. We provide a respectful, non‑judgemental approach, focusing on confidence, comfort, and achievable results.
How Electrolysis Works
Electrolysis treats each hair follicle individually using a very fine, sterile probe to deliver a tiny amount of energy to the growth cells. This process disables the follicle so a fully treated follicle can no longer produce a hair.
Because electrolysis does not rely on pigment, it is suitable for all hair colours (including blonde, red, white, and grey) and all skin tones. It’s precise, effective on small and delicate areas, and is recognised as a permanent solution for fully treated follicles.
Electrolysis vs. Laser Hair Removal
Choose the method that best fits your goals, skin, and hair:
| Aspect | Electrolysis | Laser hair removal |
|---|---|---|
| Permanence | Permanent for fully treated follicles | Long‑term reduction; maintenance often required |
| Suitability | Works on all hair colours and all skin tones | Relies on pigment; less effective on light/grey/red hair and may be limited for some skin tones |
| Precision on small/delicate areas | Highly precise; ideal for face, upper lip, chin, brows (tidy‑ups), fingers, bikini line | Less precise on very small areas or single hairs |
| Sessions/course expectations | Series over hair cycles; frequency reduces as growth diminishes | Courses often 6–8+ sessions with top‑ups over time |
The Treatment Process
- Consultation + patch test
We review your goals, health, and hair/skin profile, then perform a patch test to confirm comfort and skin response. - Personalised plan
You’ll receive a clear, tailored plan with session length, spacing, and expectations for your specific area(s). - Session experience and comfort
Hair is treated one follicle at a time with careful settings. We can adjust intensity, pace, and breaks to support comfort. - Immediate care before leaving
Soothing products are applied and you’ll receive simple guidance to protect your skin in the first 24–48 hours. - Reviews and refinement as hair reduces
As density drops, we refine timings and spacing to match your hair’s growth cycles and maintain clear skin. - Long‑term completion and optional maintenance/tidy‑ups
Once an area is fully treated, most clients do not need further treatment; optional tidy‑ups are available if desired.

What to Expect After Treatment
Mild redness and warmth are normal and usually settle within hours to a couple of days. Temporary sensitivity or small pin‑point scabs can occur as the skin repairs.
Most clients resume normal activities quickly with simple aftercare. We’ll guide you on protecting and soothing the area so you feel confident between visits.
Aftercare Recommendations
- Hygiene: Keep the area clean and avoid touching or picking.
- Avoid heat/sun/exercise for 24–48 hours: No saunas, hot baths, steam rooms, or intense workouts.
- Skip actives and fragrance: Avoid acids, retinoids, exfoliants, perfumed products, and make‑up on the area temporarily.
- Soothe if needed: Use a suitable calming gel or a cool compress.
- No tweezing or waxing between sessions: Trimming is fine; avoid removing the root.
- SPF guidance: Once initial redness settles, protect the area with broad‑spectrum SPF during the day.
Common Questions About Electrolysis
- Is electrolysis permanent?
Yes—electrolysis is recognised as permanent for fully treated follicles. New hairs can appear over time due to hormones or genetics, which can be managed if needed. - How many sessions will I need and how long does it take?
It depends on the area, hair density, and growth cycles. We usually start more frequently to achieve clearance, then space sessions out as growth reduces over time. - What does it feel like and can you adjust comfort?
Most describe a quick, heat‑like sensation. We tailor settings, techniques, and pace to your comfort and can take breaks whenever you need. - Is it suitable for PCOS or hormonal hair?
Yes. Electrolysis works on all hair colours and can be planned around hormonal patterns. Expect a longer programme for dense or persistent growth, with clear milestones. - Can I shave between sessions?
Shaving or trimming is fine. Please avoid tweezing, waxing, or epilating as these remove the root and disrupt treatment timing. - When will I see results?
Treated hairs are removed at each session. Visible reduction builds as we work through growth cycles; we aim for early clearance, then maintenance to catch new hairs emerging. - Where do treatments take place?
All appointments are at our Upper Cambourne clinic. - Do clients travel from Arrington?
Yes—many clients travel from Arrington and the wider Cambridge area for precise, permanent results with a friendly, professional team.
