Electrolysis

Electrolysis remains the only 100% permanent hair removal method. It permanently destroys germinative cells responsible for hair growth by inserting a fine probe into the hair follicle and applying a small electrical current.

Here at Beauty Essence, we use the Apilus Platinum Pure. Apilus electrolysis systems have shown repeatedly to be more effective, more comfortable, and faster at achieving permanent results than any other hair removal method.

​

Apilus is a hi-tech, high speed & very comfortable electrolysis system. There is only a tingle and virtually no skin reaction. Apilus is suitable for all types and colours of hair on any part of the body. Because it is a computer-assisted system, it allows a unique 'tolerance test', which enables us to adjust the current to your level of sensitivity.

​

Hair grows in three growth stages which are called: Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen.

The hair follicle can only be permanently destroyed during the Anagen phase (active growth stage). This is because the hair is attached to the dermal papilla (blood supply) which supplies blood and oxygen to the hair. Electrolysis destroys the dermal papilla so that hair can no longer grow.

​

When hair enters the other two phases (Catagen and Telogen) it detaches from the dermal papilla gradually falling out of the follicle. Treating the hair with electrolysis during the Catagen and Telogen phase is much less effective because the hair is not being nourished and therefore not actively attached to the blood supply.

​

Electrolysis is most effective during the very early Anagen phase. When new hair begins to surface the skin, it is the best time for treatment. This is because the dermal papilla is at its peak of growing the hair. By treating the dermal papilla with electrolysis at this point, the treatment is the most effective at achieving permanent hair removal. Hair grows at different stages on different parts of the body. It’s important to have regular treatments in order to treat hairs during the active stage (Anagen Stage).

Ladies Electrolysis
Apilus technology now provides the most efficient, and comfortable - even painless - solution to permanent hair removal. Therefore, you can now have smooth underarms, a permanent Brazilian, or even larger areas such as the legs hair-free permanently and painlessly.

​

Men’s Electrolysis
Men's hair is usually thick, strong, and deep-rooted, making waxing and shaving less comfortable options. In-growing hairs and stubble regrowth can also be a problem.

​

Electrolysis could be the answer – as it removes the unwanted hair permanently. With the power of the computer-controlled Apilus, permanent results are possible with comfort levels never before achieved.

​

Removing a beard or body hair can be a lengthy process. However, a suitable treatment plan can be tailored to your requirements, ensuring the most efficient route to your goal.

​

Transgender Electrolysis
Unwanted hair can be highly distressing. Permanent hair removal is an absolute necessity and life-changing.

​

While hormone therapy can significantly reduce excess hair, electrolysis is the only way to achieve natural-looking results.  

​

Facial hair can be particularly tricky to remove and with traditional electrolysis could take many hours of treatment over a long time. The Apilus advanced technology allows a reduced treatment time and levels of comfort that were never before possible.

​

Why not book a consultation, and we can develop a treatment plan tailored to your requirements?

​

Treatment Plans
Treatment plans will vary greatly depending on the location, strength, and density of the hair growth, as well as what your expectations and goals are. Initial sessions can be as little as 5 minutes up to about an hour with weekly, fortnightly, or even monthly appointments, reducing to as little as 10 minutes every 6-8 weeks as the treatment plan progresses.

​

All treatments are progressive. Each hair usually requires more than one treatment, with successive treatments producing fine,r and weaker hair.

​

Visible improvements in appearance will be noticeable fairly quickly. However, permanent hair removal can take several weeks or months. This is because the minimum growth cycle of a hair is approximately 4-6 weeks (but can be 6-8 weeks), which means that to treat a hair just three times will take between 12 and 24 weeks.
