Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal method available, so yes, if you’re looking to remove specific hairs forever, electrolysis is your best option. It’s safe, and suitable for all skin and hair colours.

Your practitioner should advise you on aftercare, but you’ll be encouraged to sterilize and soothe your skin with aloe vera, diluted tea tree oil or something similar; and to apply a cold compress to reduce inflammation. Pain relief can be taken if you continue to experience discomfort. You should also avoid the sun, swimming pools, rubbing, scratching and over-touching the treated area immediately after the treatment, and steer clear of make-up, exercise, alcohol-based skin products, and waxing, too. Ask your electrolysis technician to explain in detail what you should and shouldn’t do post treatment.

It also depends on the area being treated, and the quantity being removed. Your technician should be able to factor this in and give you a more precise timeframe.
