Q: Will I need to rest after having an electrolysis treatment?
A: After electrolysis, the treated area can have mild redness and there may be some localised swelling, which will all disappear after 24–48 hours. Sometimes, a small pin-prick-sized scab can form where the hair has been removed. This will disappear a few days after the treatment.
Q: How much preparation is needed?
A: You should limit any sort of hair removal that involves removing the hair from the root for at least four weeks before treatment. This includes plucking, waxing and threading. You should also avoid sun exposure for two weeks before and after the treatment.
Q: How do I know if I’m suitable?
A: An initial consultation will determine if you are suitable for the treatment. During the consultation, we will assess the area, advise on number of treatments and explain the frequency needed to achieve the results.
Q: How often should I have the treatment?
A: Regular treatments will get the best results. You will need to have treatments every two to four weeks.
Q: Does electrolysis hurt?
A: Most clients describe it as a mild warming sensation. Our practitioners are highly skilled and will adapt the treatment to suit you.
Q: Is this treatment safe?
A: At DestinationSkin we pride ourselves on having highly skilled practitioners who carry out this treatment to the highest safety standards.
