What is Electrolysis?

lectrolysis involves the insertion of a very fine probe (the same diameter as the hair) into the hair follicle. The insertion of this probe is not felt, as the hair follicle is a natural opening in the skin. The probe is passed into the follicle and therefore does not pierce the skin. Heat is then passed through the probe to seal off the hair at the root. The hair is then removed.

Most hairs will need more than one treatment, but there will be a constant, gradual decrease in the growth of the hair until it has all been permanently removed.

The amount of treatment required to achieve permanent removal of all the hair differs with each person, so we offer a no obligation consultation to have any treatment – just a chance to have electrolysis explained in detail.

Electrolysis Hair Removal - About Face Beauty Salon, Glasgow

The probe is gently inserted into each hair follicle.

All our electrolysists in Glasgow undertake post-graduate examinations to become registered with the British Institute & Association of Electrolysis (M.B.I.A.E., C.R.P.E.).

About Face is the only electrolysis clinic in the UK to implement this rigorous standard.

We are proud to be an accredited provider of Electrolysis to NHS Scotland and BUPA.

We only use pre-sterilized disposable probes

Your Electrolysis Questions Answered

What Causes Unwanted Hair?

Hair growth is often traced to hereditary factors, and sometimes stress and certain illnesses can stimulate growth. Also temporary methods of hair removal (especially waxing and tweezing), certain drugs and medications or just the normal hormonal changes at different stages of life can increase growth. Sometimes simply a sensitivity to normal levels of hormones can stimulate hair growth.

What areas can hair be removed from?

Any area can be treated, even those such as the nostrils and eyelids. Don’t be embarrassed about, for example, hair around the nipples, on the abdomen or bikini line – these are very common areas to have hair removed from by electrolysis

Is Electrolysis Safe?

The treatment is approved by the medical profession and you should confirm:
(a) That your electrolysist uses sterile disposable probes, which are recommended by the Public Health Laboratory Service. You should have a brand new probe for each treatment.
(b) That your electrolysist is fully-qualified and preferably a registered member of the British Institute & Association of Electrolysis – don’t be afraid to ask to see a certificate.

Will Electrolysis Hurt?

Electrolysis is not generally painful, although there may be some slight discomfort and a feeling of warmth in the area for a short time after treatment. It is best described as a sensation similar to tweezing a hair out – a tiny nip or sting.

How Much Does Electrolysis Cost?

This can vary greatly depending upon the individual. Some people may need only a short treatment every 6 – 8 weeks, while others may need to attend on a weekly basis initially.

Prices range from £30 for a 15 minute appointment to £80 for one hour. An average lip and chin area would require about half an hour to clear the hair which would cost £50. At the time of consultation, the electrolysist will give you a more accurate assessment as to the cost involved.

Remember, having a consultation puts you under no pressure to go ahead with treatment.

A 15 minute appointment includes up to 10 minutes of treatment. A 30 minute appointment includes up to 25 minutes of treatment and so on.
