Electrolysis Hair Removal
Based near Maidstone in Kent, I provide Electrolysis permanent hair removal treatments, which is the only method endorsed by both the NHS and FDA, with no limits on hair type, colour or skin tone and over 120 years of success.
Using a gentle electrical current or a combination of both electrical current and a chemical reaction to permanently destroy each hair follicle individually.
Clear Clinic also offers advanced Electrolysis to treat blemishes, such as Milia, Skin Tags, Thread Veins, Warts, Verruca, Xanthelasma and many more.
I understand the anxiety that can come with having unwanted hair or skin imperfections and the emotionally liberating effect it can have when you are able to live life without constantly worrying about covering certain areas, plucking, shaving or waxing.
I provide an inclusive, empathetic, educated, and welcoming space to begin your path toward a hair free life.
What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis the science and technique of permanent hair removal. The process includes removing individual hairs from the face or body. Electrolysis works by inserting a sterile, fine probe the same diameter as the hair into the natural opening of the hair follicle. The device delivers either just a small electrical current (diathermy) or the current combined with a chemical reaction (blend) to the base of the follicle to destroy it from within.
Each client will receive a customised plan focusing on individual goals, working towards increased confidence and having a renewed happiness within your own skin. We understand how many disappointing experiences clients may have had in the past and also how unwanted hair growth and other skin conditions can affect everything about your daily life.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Any areas where hair grows can be treated (except for inside the ears and nose), the most popular areas to start with are the ones that cause emotional distress to the client, these are often, the face and neck, feet, fingers and toes, breasts and stomach.
Electrolysis is also fantastic for permanent shaping solutions for eyebrows, male beards and bikini lines and for underarm clearing.
Who Can Be Treated?
Electrolysis works on everyone regardless of gender identity, skin type or hair type. There are very few limitations for patients apart from some medical conditions and these can be discussed during your consultation or with the support of your GP.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Hair growth works in cycles, so whilst some hairs are visible many are at different stages of growth under the surface of the skin, this means that for the treatment to be effective we have to wait for each hair to appear above the epidermis. Electrolysis can have a treatment time of 12 months or possibly more, depending on the scale of the area, density of the hair and many other factors that we can discuss with you during your initial consultation.
Keep in mind that many hairs can be treated within a short amount of time but consistency with your treatments is paramount to success. After each visit the hairs will become less and less and finer and finer and the time in between appointments will become longer.
How Does It Feel?
Clients may feel slight discomfort, but most report it as well tolerated discomfort! During treatments we will work with you to make adjustments if needed.
How Do i prepare for treatment?
Make sure that the hair is at least 2-3 millimeters long, if it is too short we will be unable to treat you.
Ensure you are well hydrated, electrolysis requires the use of the water in your skin as a conduit so the better hydrated you are the more effective it will be.
If you are having treatment on your body make sure the clothes you are wearing will not rub on the area post treatment.
