The Benefits of Electrolysis Hair Removal
When considering hair removal options, galvanic electrolysis is the way to go. Here’s why we love it (and why we think you will too):
Permanent Results
Galvanic electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal technique approved by the FDA. This method eliminates the components of the hair follicle responsible for growth and regeneration, ensuring unwanted hair won’t grow back.
Versatility
Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis is highly effective for all skin and hair colours, as well as for all hair types and textures. Galvanic electrolysis can be used to remove unwanted hair from virtually all facial and body regions.
Safety
When performed by a skilled and experienced electrologist, galvanic electrolysis is a safe and permanent hair removal method. Following our recommended treatment plan and guide on aftercare will ensure optimal skin healing.
Cost effectiveness
Unlike temporary hair removal methods, electrolysis delivers permanent results. No more plucking, waxing, shaving or laser hair removal. Electrolysis hair removal treatment is a cost-effective investment that will save you money in the long run.

About Electrolysis for Hair Removal - What You Need to Know
Are you keen to achieve permanently hair-free skin with galvanic electrolysis in Melbourne? Here’s some essential information about electrolysis hair removal you may be interested to know, as well as answers to the most commonly asked questions.
To learn more about electrolysis, please visit our FAQ page.
For women, there are many potential causes of unwanted hair growth including hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, hereditary factors and medical conditions that affect the endocrine system. In men, genetics seems to play the most significant role in triggering excessive hair growth.
Other causes include medications, stress, diet and age.
Some people find when their hair grows back following temporary hair removal methods, like waxing, threading, or laser hair removal, there seems to be more hair in those areas than they had previously, and they wish to have the hair permanently removed.
In other cases, clients’ unwanted hair growth is caused by completely normal factors – the hair is ‘unwanted’ simply because it’s inconvenient and the client doesn’t like the way it looks.
Galvanic electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method that involves passing a tiny electrical current through an ultra-thin probe into a hair follicle, where it creates a chemical reaction.
The resulting reaction eliminates the parts of the hair follicle responsible for its growth and ensures that the hair does not grow back again.
Laser hair removal uses light energy to target the dark pigment inside the hair follicle, thereby damaging or destroying it and inhibiting hair growth.
Importantly, laser hair removal is not a permanent hair removal treatment, merely reducing the number of unwanted hairs in a specific area and requiring regular touch-ups. What’s more, laser hair removal is not effective for individuals with darker skin tones, or for removal of light-coloured hair.
Galvanic electrolysis uses a tiny electrical current which is passed down into the hair follicle with an ultra-thin probe, which creates a chemical reaction that eliminates the hair follicle and prevents hair regrowth.
Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal method and is effective for all skin and hair colours and types.
The number of sessions needed to permanently remove unwanted hair from a specific area can vary between individuals and depends on factors such as hair density and the size of the area to be treated.
At your initial free consultation, we will provide an assessment to determine the extent of treatment required, as well as an estimation of the number of treatment sessions necessary.
You can book your appointment with us by calling us on 0421 375 389, or by using our simple online booking system (no signing up required).

After each and every treatment, it’s important that you follow our aftercare advice closely to ensure optimal healing and lasting results. We’ll explain the aftercare required when you visit our clinic but for more information, please visit our Electrolysis Aftercare page and our FAQs.
