Who Is Electrolysis Suitable For

Electrolysis at our Cardiff clinic is suitable for all skin types and all hair colours, including blonde, red, grey, and white hair that cannot be treated by laser. It is particularly effective for facial hair, eyebrow shaping, small targeted areas, and hair growth linked to hormonal changes, including PCOS, menopause, and gender transition.

Clients who have previously tried laser hair removal without success, or who are not suitable candidates for laser due to skin tone or hair colour, often find electrolysis to be the most effective long-term solution.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to treat all active follicles at the right stage of growth. The exact number of sessions depends on the area being treated, hair density, and your individual hair growth pattern. Most clients treating a small facial area require regular sessions over six to twelve months to achieve full clearance.

At our Cardiff electrolysis clinic, your treatment plan will be confirmed at your consultation based on a full assessment of the area and your hair growth history.

Electrolysis Aftercare

Following your session, you may experience temporary redness, slight swelling, or mild sensitivity in the treated area. These effects are normal and usually settle within a few hours. Keep the area clean, avoid touching or scratching, and protect the skin from direct sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours after treatment.

Full aftercare guidance is provided at every appointment.

Electrolysis vs Laser Hair Removal

Both electrolysis and laser hair removal are effective methods of long-term hair reduction, but they work differently and suit different clients. Laser targets the pigment in the hair shaft and works best on dark hair against lighter skin. Electrolysis treats each follicle individually using electrical current and works on all hair colours and skin types without exception.

If you are unsure which method is right for you, our practitioners will assess your hair colour, skin type, and treatment area at your consultation and recommend the most appropriate option.
