What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is widely recognised as the only truly permanent method of hair removal. A very fine, sterile probe is gently inserted into each hair follicle and a tiny electrical current is used to destroy the hair’s growth cells at the root, so that hair cannot grow back.
Because every hair is treated individually, Electrolysis works on all hair colours and all skin types – including grey, white, blonde and red hairs that Laser and IPL cannot treat. It is suitable for almost any area of the face and body.
Who is Electrolysis for?
Unwanted hair is very common – excess facial hair affects around 1 in 10 women – and it can really knock your confidence. Electrolysis is ideal if you have:
- stubborn chin, lip, jawline or neck hairs
- hair growth linked to hormones, PCOS or the menopause
- grey, white, blonde or red hairs that Laser cannot target
- stray hairs left after Laser or IPL treatment
- eyebrows you would like permanently shaped
- hair on the breasts, chest, underarms, abdomen, bikini line, fingers or toes
Everyone is welcome at All About You – women, men, and trans and non-binary clients – and every client is treated with kindness, care, respect and complete discretion.
Electrolysis or Laser hair removal?
Laser and IPL are excellent for reducing larger areas of dark hair, while Electrolysis permanently removes individual hairs of any colour. Many clients use both: Laser to reduce a larger area, then Electrolysis to finish the job. We offer Laser/IPL hair removal too, so at your consultation we will recommend the method – or combination – that is right for you.
What to expect
Your free consultation and patch test
Before your first full treatment we will talk through your hair growth, medical history and goals, explain how Electrolysis works, and carry out a small patch test to check how your skin responds.
Your treatments
Most sessions last 10–20 minutes, and you can book up to 60 minutes for larger areas. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick sting or warmth with each hair. Afterwards the area may look a little red or swollen for a few hours, and tiny pinpoint scabs may form as the skin heals.
How many sessions will I need?
Every client is different. Hair grows in cycles, and hairs that are hormone-driven or have been plucked or waxed for years can take longer to clear. Regular appointments give the best results, and many clients see a clear reduction within a few months. We will review your progress with you at every visit.

FAQ
Yes. Electrolysis is widely recognised as the only truly permanent method of hair removal. Each follicle is treated individually so the hair cannot grow back. Most people need a course of treatments because hair grows in cycles.
Most clients describe it as a quick sting or a feeling of warmth with each hair. It is very tolerable for most people, and Natalie and Charlie will always adjust the treatment to keep you comfortable.
Electrolysis at All About You costs £22 for 10 minutes. Your consultation and patch test are free, and if you buy a course of 5 sessions you get your 6th session free.
Most sessions are 10 to 20 minutes. You can book up to 60 minutes for larger areas, and your consultation will help decide what you need.
It varies from person to person depending on the area, how many hairs there are and what is causing the growth. Hormone-driven hair or hair that has been plucked or waxed for years can take longer. Coming regularly gives the best results.
Electrolysis can be used on all areas of the face, as well as the chest, breasts, underarms, back, abdomen, bikini line, fingers and toes.
Yes. Electrolysis is a popular choice for hair growth caused by PCOS and other hormonal changes, because it treats every hair individually whatever its colour. We recommend speaking to your GP about the underlying cause too.
They do different jobs. Laser and IPL are best for reducing large areas of dark hair, while Electrolysis permanently removes individual hairs of any colour, including grey, white, blonde and red. Many clients combine the two.
The treated area may be red, slightly swollen, warm or sensitive for up to 48 hours. Tiny pinpoint scabs may appear as the skin heals – this is normal. Do not pick them.
Apply witch hazel and aloe vera gel straight after treatment and continue the aloe vera for 21 days. For 48 hours avoid make-up, perfumed products, fake tan, hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, swimming, sunbeds and exercise. Use SPF 30 or higher to prevent pigmentation, and do not pluck, wax or thread between treatments – trim with scissors instead.
Aftercare is very important for great results. We will give you a homecare leaflet after your treatment – following the advice helps your skin heal well and gives you the best results.
What Our Clients Say
Electrolysis with Natalie
Love how Natalie is so knowledgeable about electrolysis. I’ve been having it for decades but learned so much new stuff since starting my present after stopping for about 7 years. Within 5 sessions my chin and neck hairs are so much thinner and don’t drive me nuts and no longer want to be constantly plucking. Will soon be booking some other skin treatments as Natalie has been so good in explaining them and giving me the right information such as blemish and tag removal.
Electrolysis Skin Tag Removal
Christine rated us 5 out of 5! I have had skin tag removal today with Natalie. She was the ultimate professional, I have quite a few skin tags in my arm pits. Firstly I had a thorough pre procedure consultation where my medical history was checked. Natalie then explained what would happen during the procedure and how it would be uncomfortable for the duration of the individual tag removal. There was an element of needle like pain especially when removing the larger tags merely because they took a little longer, but that pain disappeared immediately the implement was taken away, the smaller tags took seconds and hardly felt it. Natalie then spoke to me about after care which I fully intend to follow. Most importantly, there were 2 growths which she couldn’t say were tags. These she left and advised me to visit the doctors to check with the assurance that she would remove them if they were indeed tags. I would not hesitate to recommend Natalie for this procedure, she was the consummate professional and I now will feel I can wear sleeveless tops without worrying about displaying these ugly growths. Thanks Natalie
