Understanding Unwanted Hair Growth
Unwanted hair is common and influenced by hormones, genetics, medication, and life stages. It affects people of all genders and skin tones on both the face and body.
If you experience persistent or hormonal hair growth (including PCOS), you’re welcome here. We provide an inclusive, non‑judgemental space with clear guidance and realistic timelines.
How Electrolysis Works
Electrolysis treats each follicle individually using a fine, sterile probe to deliver a tiny amount of energy to the growth cells. This disables the follicle so a fully treated follicle can no longer produce a hair.
Because it does not rely on pigment, electrolysis works on all hair colours (including blonde, red, white, and grey) and all skin tones. It’s highly precise for small or delicate areas and is recognised as permanent for fully treated follicles.
Electrolysis vs. Laser Hair Removal
Choose what suits your goals, hair, and skin best.
| 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 | Pigment‑dependent; less effective on light/grey/red hair and limited for some skin tones |
| Precision (small/delicate areas) | Targets single hairs with high accuracy | Less precise for single‑hair refinement |
| Sessions/course expectations | Series over hair cycles; frequency reduces as growth diminishes | Courses typically 6–8+ with top‑ups |
The Treatment Process
- Consultation + patch test
We discuss your goals, health, and skin/hair profile, then perform a patch test to check comfort and response. - Personalised plan
You’ll receive a clear plan with session length, spacing, and expectations tailored to your area(s). - Session experience and comfort
Hairs are treated one by one with careful settings. We can adjust intensity, pace, and breaks to suit your comfort. - Immediate care before leaving
We soothe the area and share simple guidance for the first 24–48 hours. - Reviews and refinement as hair reduces
As density drops, we refine session timing and spacing to match your hair growth cycles. - Long‑term completion and optional maintenance/tidy‑ups
Once fully treated, most follicles will not regrow; optional tidy‑ups are available if desired.
Benefits for All Skin and Hair Types
- Works on every hair colour and all skin tones.
- Ideal for precise work on small or delicate areas (face, brow tidy‑ups, fingers, bikini line).
- Supportive approach for persistent or hormonal growth (including PCOS).
- Individual follicle targeting for natural‑looking clearance.
- Permanent for fully treated follicles.
What to Expect After Treatment
Mild redness and warmth are common and usually settle within hours to a couple of days. Temporary pinpoint scabbing can occur as the skin heals.
Most people resume normal activities quickly with simple aftercare. We’ll guide you so you feel confident between sessions.
Aftercare Recommendations
- Hygiene: Keep the area clean; avoid touching or picking.
- Avoid heat/sun/exercise for 24–48 hours: Skip saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, sunbeds, and intense workouts.
- No actives or fragrance on the area: Temporarily avoid acids, retinoids, exfoliants, perfumed products, and make‑up.
- Soothe if needed: Apply a suitable calming gel or use 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 a broad‑spectrum SPF in 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 we can manage if needed. - How many sessions will I need and how long will it take?
This depends on the area, hair density, and growth cycles. We aim for early clearance, then space sessions as growth reduces. - What does it feel like—can you adjust comfort?
Most describe a brief heat‑like sensation. We tailor settings, techniques, and pacing, and can take breaks to keep you comfortable. - Is it suitable for PCOS or hormonal hair?
Yes. Electrolysis works on all hair colours and can be planned around hormonal patterns; denser growth may require a longer programme. - Can I shave between sessions?
Shaving or trimming is fine. Please avoid tweezing, waxing, or epilating, as they remove the root and disrupt the treatment plan. - When will I notice results?
Hairs treated at each session are removed there and then. Visible reduction builds as we work through the hair growth cycles. - Where do treatments take place?
All appointments are at our Upper Cambourne clinic. - Do clients travel from Bar Hill?
Yes—many clients travel from Bar Hill and the wider Cambridge area to our Upper Cambourne clinic.
