Electrolysis Hair Removal Chester, Cheshire
Eliminate unwanted hair permanently with our electrolysis hair removal in Chester. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and most parts of the body, with no respite necessary after your session.
During this regenerative treatment, our expert practitioner will ask where the excess hair is before examining the area. A handheld device using a fine needle will target individual hair follicles to stunt growth. Using shortwave radio frequencies, the follicles are severed which causes your existing hair to fall out, leaving smoother skin.
We ensure there is minimal discomfort during your session. You may feel a tiny shock every few seconds or a slightly warmer, tingling sensation during your session and a few hours afterwards. To reduce this and potential redness in the skin, we recommend using aloe vera gel.
Electrolysis is the only treatment proved to permanently remove hair. If you think our electrolysis hair removal in Chester is for you, book your appointment today.

What is electrolysis hair removal?
Electrolysis hair removal is an in-clinic treatment and can only be performed by a highly-trained and experienced practitioner. It works by inserting a hand-held device with a fine needle, into the skin. It utilises shortwave radio frequencies inside your hair follicles to stop new hair growth. This damages your hair follicles and prevents growth. It also causes your existing hairs to fall out. In a course of treatment, you can expect smoother, silkier skin with a dramatic reduction in hair growth.
Which areas can electrolysis hair removal treat?
Essentially, electrolysis can be used anywhere on the face or body. The more popular areas are the underarms, face and bikini line. For larger areas such as the legs and back, you will need to attend for multiple sessions as the treatment targets one hair at a time.

When will I see the results from electrolysis hair removal?
As the affected hairs are removed with tweezers and the follicles are permanently destroyed, expect to see results straight away. On large areas where multiple treatment sessions will be required, you may not notice the hairs thinning straight away. Be patient and in a course of 8 to 12 sessions for larger areas, which could take 8-18 months, you will see and feel the difference.
As the hair follicles are permanently affected by electrolysis hair removal, this is the only treatment we can claim is permanent. With the correct number of treatments, time and patience, you can expect smoother, hair-free legs for years to come.
Generally speaking, you will need between 8 to 12 sessions of electrolysis hair removal for a permanent, noticeable result. Factors such as skin condition, the size of the area to be treated and the thickness and quantity of your hair will play a part in how quickly you’ll notice results. This will all be discussed in your pre-treatment consultation.
Electrolysis is one of the most effective ways to permanently eliminate unwanted hair on the face and body and has been the mainstay of many dermatologists for efficacy and safety. It is relatively comfortable and has an immediate effect. It is suitable for both men and women and all skin types.
The process involves the use of a microscopic needle that is placed at the base of each hair. This needle emits heated electrical currents directly in to the hair follicle shaft, destroying it and its ability to support new hair growth. Admittedly this process can take some time as you are targeting each and every hair. However, electrolysis hair removal is the only true permanent hair removal on the market.
Similar to treatments that use needles and / or heat, such as tattooing or injections, the level of discomfort will largely depends on your own tolerance to the treatment and the area being treated. Some patients describe the treatment as feeling like a tiny shock every other second, others report a heat sensation or tingling across the treatment area. To combat any discomfort, we can offer you a topical anaesthetic prior to the treatment. However, in many cases, most patients are happy to undergo the treatment without this. After the procedure, most patients experience some minor redness, heat or discomfort on the skin. This can last a couple of days but can be managed with a cold compress or aloe Vera gel.
Most people are suitable for electrolysis hair removal, as unlike laser hair removal, the treatment does not pick up on melanin within the skin, rather it targets the hair itself. However, prior to any treatment here at Pure Perfection Clinic, we will ask you to attend a no obligation consultation, so that we can assess your individual concerns, discuss your expectations for results as well as check your medical history, to ensure there are no contraindications to the treatment and that it will be effective for you.
