Electrolysis Hair Removal

Electrolysis Hair Removal in Chigwell Essex & London

Electrolysis is an extremely effective method of permanently removing unwanted hair. We offer a free consultation before electrolysis treatment.

Electrolysis is a medically approved form of permanent hair removal. You will have a free detailed consultation with one of our friendly, experienced therapists who will be able to answer all of your questions and alleviate any concerns you may have. She will be able to inform you of how many treatments you might need and the results you’re likely to achieve due to the texture of your hair. With the consultation over and you feeling happy to proceed, you will then have your first session of electrolysis where the highly skilled therapist will use a sterilised needle to permanently remove hairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Apilus Electrolysis?
Apilus Electrolysis is an advanced, highly effective hair removal method that permanently destroys hair follicles using targeted electrical currents. It is known for being more comfortable and precise compared to traditional electrolysis.
How does Apilus Electrolysis work?
A fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle, delivering a controlled electrical current that destroys the follicle’s ability to regrow hair. The Apilus system uses state-of-the-art technology to make the process faster, more precise, and less painful.
Is Apilus Electrolysis permanent?
Yes! Unlike laser hair removal, which reduces hair growth, electrolysis is FDA-approved for permanent hair removal. Once a follicle is fully treated, hair will not grow back.
What areas can be treated with Apilus Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is safe for all areas of the body, including:

  • Face (eyebrows, upper lip, chin, sideburns)
  • Underarms
  • Bikini/Brazilian
  • Legs & arms
  • Chest & back
  • Fingers & toes
How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on hair thickness, density, and the treatment area. Multiple sessions are required because hair grows in different cycles, but results are progressively permanent with each treatment.
Does Apilus Electrolysis hurt?
The Apilus system is designed to be more comfortable than traditional electrolysis, using high-speed impulses to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe it as a mild tingling or warmth, but numbing creams can be used if needed.
Is electrolysis safe for all skin and hair types?
Yes! Unlike laser hair removal, which works best on light skin and dark hair, electrolysis is effective on all hair colours and skin tones, including blonde, red, grey, and white hairs.
How long does a session take?
Treatment time depends on the area being treated. Small areas like the upper lip or chin may take 10–30 minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back can take 1–2 hours.
What should I do before my electrolysis appointment?
  • Avoid waxing or plucking the hair before treatment (shaving is okay).
  • Keep your skin clean and hydrated.
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure to prevent sensitivity.
What should I do after my electrolysis session?
  • Avoid touching or scratching the treated area.
  • Keep the skin clean and avoid makeup, lotions, or harsh products for 24 hours.
  • Apply aloe vera or a soothing cream to reduce redness or sensitivity.
Are there any side effects?
Mild redness or slight swelling may occur after treatment but usually subsides within a few hours. Electrolysis does not cause long-term skin damage when performed by a trained professional.
How is Apilus different from traditional electrolysis?
Apilus Electrolysis uses computerised technology to deliver energy more quickly and efficiently, making the process faster, more comfortable, and highly precise compared to older electrolysis methods.
