Understanding Unwanted Hair Growth
Unwanted hair is common and can be 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 warmly welcome here. We keep things simple, respectful, and stigma‑free, with clear guidance and realistic timelines.
How Electrolysis Works
Electrolysis treats each follicle individually using a fine, sterile probe that delivers 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 suits 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 with session length, spacing, and expected progression for your chosen areas. - 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 straightforward guidance for the first 24–48 hours. - Reviews and refinement as hair reduces
As density decreases, we refine session timing and spacing to match 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.
Benefits for All Skin and Hair Types
- Works on every hair colour and all skin tones.
- Ideal for precision on small or delicate areas (lip/chin, brows tidy‑ups, fingers, bikini line).
- Supportive care for persistent or hormonal growth (including PCOS).
- Individual follicle targeting for natural‑looking results.
- Permanent for fully treated follicles.
What to Expect After Treatment
Mild redness and warmth are normal and usually settle within hours to a couple of days. Temporary pin‑point scabbing can occur as the skin repairs.
Most people resume normal routines quickly with simple aftercare. We’ll guide you so you feel confident and comfortable 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 during the day.
Common Questions About Electrolysis
- Is electrolysis permanent?
Yes—electrolysis is recognised as permanent for fully treated follicles. New hairs can 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 are fulfilled by Shannon Dry Aesthetics. - Do clients travel from Boxworth?
Yes—many clients travel from Boxworth and the wider Cambridge area to our Upper Cambourne clinic.
