Electrolysis Hair Removal Case Study, Newcastle
Introduction to electrolysis
Electrolysis hair removal is a time tested method for removing individual hairs from the face or body. Unlike laser hair removal, which works best on dark hair and light skin, electrolysis works on every hair colour, including white, grey and red, and on every skin tone. This makes it the gold standard for clients looking for a permanent solution to unwanted facial hair, including hair linked to hormones, hirsutism or PCOS.
Benefits of electrolysis hair removal
The main benefit is permanence. Once a hair follicle has been treated correctly, it can no longer produce hair, so there is no more daily shaving, waxing or plucking. Electrolysis is also extremely precise, which makes it ideal for shaping eyebrows or clearing the chin and upper lip.
How electrolysis hair removal works
A trained professional inserts a very fine probe into the natural opening of the hair follicle and applies a small amount of electrical energy to destroy the hair growth tissue. This is repeated for each individual hair. Because hair grows in cycles, several sessions are usually needed to treat every hair in its active growth phase. We use professional Sterex equipment.
Electrolysis hair removal before and after results
In this case study, the client saw a clear reduction in hair growth over a course of sessions. The skin stayed smooth, and the shadow often caused by thick hair under the skin was no longer visible. Results vary from person to person.
Electrolysis hair removal vs laser and waxing
Electrolysis or laser hair removal?
Laser is a popular choice for large areas such as the legs, but it is classed as permanent hair reduction rather than permanent hair removal. Laser targets the pigment in the hair, so it struggles with light, grey or red hairs. Electrolysis targets the follicle itself, which is why it works on every hair colour and every skin tone, from very fair to deep complexions.
Why waxing and shaving don’t last
Waxing and shaving are temporary. Shaving cuts the hair at the surface, so stubble returns within hours. Waxing pulls the hair from the root, but the follicle stays healthy and grows a new hair. Over time, constant waxing can also lead to tougher skin and painful ingrown hairs. Electrolysis treats each hair at the root and stops it growing, which is why our clients in Newcastle choose it for facial areas where precision matters most.

Frequently asked questions about electrolysis
Is electrolysis hair removal painful?
Most clients describe the feeling as a tiny sting or a quick flash of heat. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, and we make sure you are comfortable throughout your session.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies from person to person, depending on hair density, the growth cycle and the area being treated. Most clients need a series of appointments over several months for permanent results.
Are there any side effects?
You may notice slight redness or swelling straight after treatment. This is normal and usually settles within a few hours. Keep the area clean and avoid makeup for 24 hours.
Is electrolysis suitable for all skin tones?
Yes. Unlike some laser treatments, which can cause pigmentation problems on deeper skin tones, electrolysis is suitable for every skin tone and hair colour.
