Is Electrolysis A New Treatment?
Electrolysis has been used for a long time. It was first used in 1875 in the USA by Dr Charles E Michel for treating in-growing eyelashes.
How Does Electrolysis Work for Hair Removal?
· A tiny probe, the size of a hair, is placed carefully into the hair follicle
· The probe is used to conduct a very low level current into the growing part of the hair follicle
· The current disables the growing part of the follicle
· Over time, with repeated treatments, the follicle will no longer be able to produce hair
Do I Have To Have A Consultation?
Yes. It is important that I clinically assess your concerns thoroughly before you commence any procedure.
What Happens At A Consultation?
A consultation is carried out to establish whether the treatment would be suitable for you. It would include:
§ Us getting to know one another
§ Obtaining your contact information
§ Obtaining your medical history (past and present) and your doctor’s contact details
§ Discussing any previous electrolysis treatments you have received
§ Finding out which methods of hair removal you are using and have used in the past
§ Your skin/hair being assessed
§ A short procedure being carried out (if no contra-indications have been found)
What Should I Do Before Having An Electrolysis Procedure?
In order to achieve the best results and to make the process as easy as possible, please:
§ Drink lots of water on the day before your treatment and on the day of your treatment so you stay hydrated. The more hydrated your skin is, the easier it makes insertions into the hair follicles
§ Cleanse and lightly exfoliate your skin once in the week prior to your appointment
§ Moisturise daily
§ Avoid booking appointments before or during your menstruation, as your body may be more sensitive at this time
§ For hair removal procedures, leave a few millimetres of hair growth so I have something to work with
§ Wait until your suntan has gone before booking an appointment, as I need to see your skin’s natural colour to check how it is responding to the procedure
§ For hair removal procedures, please leave a few millimetres of hair growth so I have something to work with
What Shouldn’t I Do Before Having An Electrolysis Procedure?
§ Do not go in the sun or go on sunbeds for at least 48 hours before your electrolysis session to avoid your blood vessels dilating
§ For hair removal procedures, do not bleach the hairs that you are going to have treated
§ Do not eat chocolate, drink alcohol or caffeinated drinks for at least 24 hours before your treatment as they will dehydrate your skin
§ Do not do any strenuous activities within a few hours of your treatment, as sweating can affect the procedure
§ If the hair you want removing is in your armpits, do not apply deodorants/antiperspirants as they may clog/shrink pores, making them harder to work with
§ Do not wear face make-up to attend your appointment
§ Do not wear fake tan in the area to be treated
Can I bring my children/other people to the appointment?
Please attend the appointment by yourself.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of the treatments I provide I am unable to permit children at the clinic. I am only permitted to treat clients who are 18 years old and above.
How Old Must Someone Be To Be Treated?
People under the age of 18 are classed as minors i.e. I am unable to treat them until they are 18 years old.
Do You Accept Walk-ins?
As a busy clinic, I am unable to accommodate walk-in appointments. Appointments can be booked online via www.theremedyclinic.co.uk.
Do I Need To Book Early?
It is never too early to book. Booking in advance gives you a better chance of securing your preferred date and time.
Will I receive a reminder prior to my appointment?
Yes. I send appointment reminders. You can also manage your bookings through your online account.
What If I Am Running Late?
If you are delayed by a few minutes, I will do my best to accommodate you. If there is insufficient time remaining to complete your treatment, as a courtesy to the next client, your treatment will end at the originally-scheduled time.
Your appointment may need to be rescheduled and the cancellation policy will apply.
What Should I Do After Having An Electrolysis Procedure?
· Apply soothing gel to treated areas for 48 hours or until healing has taken place. Apply it with clean cotton wool rather than using your fingers
· Avoid touching, scratching or picking any scabs that form
· Follow the aftercare instructions you have been given
· Make an note of how well your skin is healing after having a procedure, so future procedures can be modified, if necessary
· Book your next appointment
What Shouldn’t I Do After Having An Electrolysis Procedure?
· The following conditions apply to the 24 to 48 hours after your electrolysis treatment:
· Do not touch the treated skin as you may transfer germs to it
· Do not apply soap on the treated skin
· Do not apply make-up to the treated skin
· Do not apply perfumed products to the treated skin
· Do not wear tight clothing over the treated skin
· Do not sunbathe, use a sunbed, sauna, steam bath, jacuzzi or hot tub or similar for 24-48 hours
· Do not take hot baths or showers
· Do not go swimming
How Will My Skin Feel After Having An Electrolysis Treatment?
You may experience a sensation like having sunburn.
You Treat Thread Veins, Can You Treat Blue Veins Too?
Electrolysis can be used to treat red veins. Darker (purple/blue) veins indicate that damaged capillaries lie deeper beneath the dermis (skin). They cannot be treated by electrolysis.

The prices at this clinic may differ from those charged at other clinics. Please check what you will receive as part of the service, the standard of products being used and the cleaning/sterilisation procedures of the clinic(s) you are thinking of visiting, so you have a clear idea of what you are paying for. My equipment is serviced. My reusable implements are cleaned, then sterilised in an autoclave. As part of the sterilisation process, the implements are stored in sealed pouches so they remain sterile, and are only opened when a treatment is about to begin. I wear a new, disposable mask, apron, and gloves for each procedure. High quality Sterex equipment and products are used. As part of your consultation, a complimentary product such as Witch Hazel or Aloe Vera will be provided for you to use at home. Sterex products are also available for you to purchase for the ongoing care of your skin.
I reserve the right to change treatments and prices without prior notice.
Can I purchase products to use at home?
Yes. Sterex products are available for you to purchase for the ongoing care of your skin.
