Electrolysis

What is Electrolysis? Invented in 1875, Electrolysis is the longest established method of permanent hair removal. Electrolysis is a course of treatment and not a miracle cure. It ultimately leads to permanent removal of unwanted hair growth. The success of the treatment depends on the client's co-operation with a highly skilled therapist to commit to regular treatments until treatment is no longer necessary. Electrolysis is not restricted by hair and skin colours but can be adapted for each client's individual need.

How does Electrolysis work? It works by passing a tiny pre-packed sterilised needle into the opening of the hair follicle, then discharging a small amount of high frequency energy into the hair follicle, where it creates friction within the tissues. This generates a mild thermal heat which then destroys the matrix cells that produce the hair at the base of the follicle, through either cauterisation or coagulation, thus destroying or weakening hair growth depending on the stage of the hair cycle.

A full consultation is carried out with every client to establish their suitability to treatment and any medical restrictions prior to any treatment being carried out. Following treatment, post-treatment care and advice is given to maintain hygiene and prevent any adverse reactions resulting.

Electrolysis can be used almost anywhere on the body and is suitable for both men and women over the age of 16. Under 16s require G.P. permission.

Electrolysis: from £10-£40

Red Vein Therapy

This treatment uses diathermy to produce thermo-coagulation which successfully reduces the appearance of unsightly telangectasia; otherwise called broken capillaries, red thread veins or spider naevi.

Causes This condition can occur at any time of life, due to either exposure to heat, sunlight, hormonal changes, physical trauma and medication or may be related to life-style. It creates a cosmetic problem as the capillaries dilate very close to the skin surface.

*This treatment is not suitable for anyone who is on blood thinning medication or has a blood disorder.

Red vein therapy: First treatment with consultation is £60 any subsequent treatments are £40

Rosacea

This condition produces a reddening to the face that resembles blushing. This reddening effect is due to increased blood flow through the fine capillaries, which expand or dilate to allow an increased volume of blood to flow through. Initially the skin colour returns to normal; however, with time the dilation of the capillaries becomes permanent, with multiple telangectasia or fine red capillaries visible at all times. Other symptoms include facial swelling, lumpy red pimples, papule or nodules, facial burning or itching.

Treatment Telangectasia or red capillaries can be treated using diathermy to produce thermo-coagulation which cauterises the blood vessels improving the appearance of the skin by reducing the red appearance.

Regular electrical facial treatments can improve the general texture and appearance of the skin, reducing swelling by improving lymphatic circulation and removal of toxins, deep cleansing of skin and improve blemishes etc.

Rosacea: First treatment with consultation is £60 any subsequent treatments are £40
