Everything you need to know before you start your electrolysis journey.

  • What areas do you treat?
    We offer a full range of services, covering you from head to toe! This includes areas like your eyebrows, hairline, upper lip, chin, neck, back, abdomen, bikini area, arms, chest, breasts ...
  • How long will it take before I'm hair free?
    Because of how hair grows in cycles, it's tricky to guess exactly how long it will take or how much you'll spend to become permanently hair-free. But don't worry! When you come in for your treatment, we will give you an approximate idea of what to expect for your specific areas and their unique growth cycles.
  • How much will it cost?
    I will partner with you to understand your unique hair growth cycles, ensuring we permanently eliminate your hair in a reasonable time frame. Initially, your treatments will be more frequent, but as we progress, you'll find yourself coming in less often for shorter sessions.
  • What do I need to do before my appointment?
    To get the best results from your treatment, please avoid shaving, waxing, or any other hair removal method for at least 3 days beforehand. We need the hairs to be long enough for us to remove them with our professional tweezers. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water the day before and on the day of your treatment, and try to avoid caffeine on the day of your appointment.
  • What will happen to my skin after treatment
    We will do a thorough after-care process that will calm and soothe the areas treated, and minimise any after treatment reaction. However, the following healing symptoms are perfectly normal and expected: Slight redness (disappears within hours of treatment) Slight soreness in area (dissipates in 24-48 hours) Minor swelling (disappears within hours of treatment) Tiny red scabs on the follicles (usually appears after 24-48 hours and disappears in less than a week) Occasional milia or whiteheads in the areas treated (most often seen in the upper lip area). These are normal, and is the body’s way of evacuating bacteria that was already inside the follicle before treatment.
  • What should I do after treatment?
    After your appointment. Keep the area clean. We will have taken care to protect your skin before and after treatment. Please refrain from touching, rubbing, scratching or squeezing the area(s) treated. We recommend using aloe vera to soothe the area at least 2+ times per day. We have tubes of aloe vera available to purchase at the studio. Please stay out of the sun for at least 24 hours after treatment, especially on the face. If you are out and about, please use sunscreen with SPF 30 or above. It's vital to protect yourself from the sun during your healing phase else you could subject your skin to hyper-pigmentation After underarm treatments, please refrain from using deodorant or antiperspirant for 24 hours after treatment After face treatments, please refrain from using makeup, particularly creamy foundations, for 24 hours after treatment. Allow the skin to form its natural protective barrier for healing prior to introducing any potential irritants. Refrain from hot tubs, pools, saunas, steam rooms or extreme workouts (e.g. running, or anything that will get you very sweaty) for at least 48 hours after treatment. Let’s ensure that no unnecessary bacteria is introduced into the treated areas.
  • What is electrolysis and why is it right for me?
    Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal, period. To trace the origins of electrolysis, one needs to go back to 1875 when an ophthalmologist discovered that he could permanently remove ingrown eyelashes from his patients by energising a fine needle and inserting it into the follicle of the eyelash. From these early attempts to rid people of unwanted hair, there has been continued medical research and development that has made electrolysis both a safe and reliable method of treatment. Today, electrolysis is recognised as a safe and permanent method of hair removal.
  • Does electrolysis hurt?
    At ElectroGlow Studio, we use cutting-edge epilation equipment designed to make your experience as comfortable as possible. However, if you tend to be sensitive or are a little worried about discomfort, you're welcome to take ibuprofen/paracetamol before your treatment.
  • How does electrolysis work?
    Electrolysis involves inserting a fine, pre-sterilised, disposable probe into the hair follicle. The skin is not punctured or harmed. As light amount of current is then applied through the probe. Effective treatment of the mid and lower follicle accomplishes permanent hair removal by destroying the dermal papilla. When the dermal papilla is completely de-activated, no further hair growth can occur. If in an initial treatment, a hair is only damaged an undernourished weaker hair will grow. This hair will be finer and more susceptible to treatment in the future.
