Permanent Electrolysis Treatment - Results for Smooth Skin

Electrolysis Treatments from the experts at Caddell's Laser & Electrolysis Clinic, permanent hair removal on any body part.

Electrology is one of the treatments of permanent hair removal utilizing only solid needle-type devices.

A tiny, sterile probe is skillfully inserted into the hair follicle along the hair shaft. A slight pulse of electrical current is then applied through the probe to destroy the cells and cauterize the blood supply to the hair.

Once totally destroyed, there is no way for the follicle to produce another hair. This can take several treatments on each follicle to achieve the desired results.

Electrolysis is recommended for people with blonde, gray or red hair.
Laser Hair Removal is recommended as the best option for people with dark hair. Laser Hair Removal is used on dark hair as the Laser is attracted to the melanin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the downside to electrolysis?

Electrolysis is effective but requires multiple sessions, especially for larger areas like the legs, which can be time-consuming and expensive. The overall cost can be considerable due to multiple sessions needed. Since Electrolysis is a gradual process, achieving permanent hair removal requires patience and commitment to regular treatment. It may also cause mild discomfort, like a quick pinch or sting, though our skilled electrologists at Caddell’s ensure maximum comfort during treatment.

How many sessions are required to achieve permanent hair removal?

Typically, 8 - 18 sessions are needed for small areas like the upper lip and more for larger areas, depending on hair type and growth cycles. Other factors that determine the total number of sessions are hair growth cycles, hair thickness and density, the size of the treatment area, and pain tolerance. Our free consultations at Caddell’s provide a tailored plan to achieve permanent results efficiently.

What should I expect during and after an electrolysis session?

A sterile probe targets each follicle with a quick electrical pulse, feeling like a mild sting. Sessions last 15-60 minutes. Post-treatment, expect temporary redness that fades quickly. We provide aftercare tips to keep your skin smooth and healthy.

Will my hair grow back?

It’s normal for some hairs to regrow within a few weeks after treatment, not all hairs are in the active growth phase at the same time. Hair that grows back was in its dormant phase. Hair that was treated and does grow back after electrolysis may be finer than before. After an electrolysis hair removal treatment, clients can expect up to a 60% reduction in active hair growth.

Are there any side effects or risks associated with electrolysis?

Common side effects include temporary redness or swelling. Rarely, improper aftercare may lead to scarring or pigmentation changes. Our experienced electrologists at Caddell’s use advanced techniques to minimize risks and ensure safety.

How expensive is electrolysis hair removal?

Costs depend on the treatment area and number of sessions. Larger areas cost more due to the time required. Book a free consultation with us for a personalized quote tailored to your hair removal goals.

What age should you get electrolysis?

Electrolysis suits mid-teens and up, with parental consent for those under 18. It’s ideal once hair growth stabilizes. Our free consultations at Caddell’s ensure the treatment fits your needs, regardless of age, for lasting results.
