How Laser Skin Rejuvenation Works

A sterile, ultra-fine probe is inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle. A controlled electrical current is then applied to destroy the cells and blood supply responsible for hair growth. The treated hair is gently removed with tweezers. 

There are three main types of electrical current used in electrolysis, and the method is selected according to hair type, depth, and skin characteristics.

At Ace Skin Health Clinic, the appropriate modality and the choice of probe is selected based on your hair growth pattern, skin sensitivity and treatment area. This ensures that each follicle is treated as effectively as possible while maintaining skin integrity. 

Because electrolysis treats each hair individually, it is a precise and progressive process. Multiple sessions are required to target hairs during their active growth phase, leading to permanent removal over time.

Treatment Areas & When to Choose Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a highly precise method of permanent hair removal, suitable for both men and women and adaptable to all treatment areas on the face and body. 

Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis is effective on all skin tones and hair colours, including blonde, red, grey, and white hair. This makes it the preferred option when laser is unsuitable or when residual hairs remain after a course of laser treatments.

Electrolysis is also commonly chosen for hormonally driven hair growth, such as hair on the chin or jawline, where long-term permanent removal is the goal. It plays an important role in facial feminisation treatments, where precise shaping and complete clearance are required to achieve soft, refined results.

It is also the safest and most appropriate option for areas that cannot be treated with laser, such as around the eyebrows, where precision is critical and surrounding structures require protection.

This treatment is ideal for clients seeking a permanent solution rather than reduction, and for those who wish to address specific areas with precision, including shaping, correction, or complete removal.

Our Personalised Approach

At Ace Skin Health Clinic, electrolysis hair removal is always tailored to your skin and hair type. Each treatment begins with a detailed assessment of hair growth patterns, hormonal influences, and skin sensitivity, enabling us to provide safe, precise, and permanent hair removal while protecting skin integrity.

As a member of the British Institute & Association of Electrolysis (BIAE), we adhere to recognised clinical standards in electrolysis, ensuring high levels of hygiene, safety, and treatment accuracy. We use advanced Sterex technology, which allows precise control of current and modality selection, including thermolysis, galvanic, and blend techniques.

Each treatment is further customised using appropriate probe types, including insulated and gold probes for sensitive or pigmentation-prone skin. This minimises irritation, reduces the risk of pigmentation, and achieves consistent, long-term results.

We focus on effective follicle destruction, minimal skin trauma, and progressive permanent hair removal, delivered at a pace that suits your skin and ensures optimal healing throughout your treatment journey.
