Electrolysis Hair Removal with the Sterex System

Smooth, Confident, and Permanently Hair-Free Skin

If you’re looking for a permanent solution to unwanted hair, electrolysis offers proven, long-lasting results. Using the advanced Sterex machine, this gentle yet highly effective treatment removes unwanted facial and body hair safely and permanently, giving you smoother, clearer, and more confident skin. 

 

We don’t just offer electrolysis – we teach it!

 

What Is Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is a clinically approved permanent hair removal treatment that targets each individual hair follicle. A fine, sterile probe is inserted into the follicle, delivering a small electrical current that destroys the cells responsible for hair growth. Once treated, that follicle will no longer produce new hair.

Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis is effective on all skin tones and hair colours — even blonde, white/grey, and red hairs that laser cannot treat.

The Electrolysis Process

  1. Consultation & Patch Test
    We begin with a consultation to assess your skin, hair type, and treatment goals, followed by a patch test to ensure your skin responds well.
  2. The Treatment
    During treatment, a fine probe is gently inserted into each hair follicle. A brief electrical current is applied using the Sterex system to destroy the follicle’s growth cells, and the treated hair is removed with sterile tweezers.
    Clients often describe the feeling as a slight warmth or tingling.
  3. Aftercare
    After treatment, a soothing Aloe Vera is applied to calm the skin.
    You’ll receive personalised aftercare advice to help maintain your results and comfort between sessions.

Benefits of Electrolysis

  • Permanent results – once treated, the hair will not grow back
  • Effective on all hair colours and skin types
  • Perfect for small, delicate, or hormonal areas
  • Safe, clinically approved, and regulated
  • Boosts confidence with smooth, hair-free skin
  • Ideal for PCOS or menopausal hair growth

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Hair grows in cycles, so several sessions are required to target each follicle during its active growth stage.
The number of treatments depends on your skin type, hair density, and area being treated.

During your consultation, we’ll create a tailored plan to deliver the best and most lasting results for your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

For styling benefit
Does electrolysis hurt?

Electrolysis can cause a mild tingling or warming sensation, but most clients find it very tolerable. The Sterex system allows us to adjust the current for your comfort.

Is electrolysis safe for all skin types?

Yes. Electrolysis is safe and effective on all skin types and tones, unlike laser hair removal which can have limitations.

Can I have electrolysis if I have PCOS?

Absolutely. Electrolysis is an excellent choice for managing unwanted hair growth associated with hormonal conditions like PCOS.

Can I wear makeup after treatment?

We recommend waiting at least 24–48 hours before applying makeup to allow the skin to settle and heal.

How soon will I see results?

Results are progressive — you’ll notice smoother skin and reduced hair growth after each session. With consistent treatments, the hair will permanently stop regrowing.
