Understanding Unwanted Hair Growth
Unwanted hair is common and influenced by hormones, genetics, medication, and life stages. It can affect any gender and all skin tones, on both the face and body.
If you live with persistent or hormonal hair (including PCOS), you’re warmly welcome. We offer practical guidance, realistic timelines, and a respectful, stigma‑free approach.
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 doesn’t 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 the method that best aligns with your goals, hair, and skin.
| 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; limited for light/grey/red hair and some skin tones |
| Precision (small/delicate areas) | Targets individual hairs with high accuracy | Less precise for single‑hair refinement |
| Sessions/course expectations | Series over growth cycles; frequency reduces as density drops | Courses typically 6–8+ with top‑ups |
The Treatment Process
- Consultation + patch test
We discuss your goals, health, and hair/skin profile, then perform a patch test to check comfort and response. - Personalised plan
You’ll receive a tailored plan covering session length, spacing, and expected progress for your chosen areas. - Session experience and comfort
Hairs are treated one by one with careful settings. We adjust intensity, pace, and breaks to support comfort throughout. - 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 and maintain clearance. - Long‑term completion and optional maintenance/tidy‑ups
Once fully treated, most follicles won’t regrow; optional tidy‑ups are available if desired.

- Ideal for precision on small or delicate areas (lip/chin, brows tidy‑ups, fingers, bikini line).

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 routines quickly with straightforward aftercare. We’ll explain exactly what to do 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.
- Skip actives and 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 during the day.
Common Questions About Electrolysis
- Is electrolysis permanent?
Yes—electrolysis is recognised as permanent for fully treated follicles. New hairs may appear due to hormones or genetics, which we can manage if needed. - How many sessions will I need and how long will it take?
It varies by area, 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 treatment timing. - When will I notice results?
Treated hairs are removed at each session. Visible reduction builds as we progress through the hair growth cycles. - Where do treatments take place?
All appointments are at our Upper Cambourne clinic and fulfilled by Shannon Dry Aesthetics. - Do clients travel from Bottisham?
Yes—many clients travel from Bottisham and the wider Cambridge area to our Upper Cambourne clinic.
