Question 1

Is electrolysis painful?

Accepted Answer

Yes, particularly if you’re having your upper lip, neck or pelvic area done. You’re likely to feel a stinging sensation or pinch of heat from the electrolysis probe, but the level of pain depends on your pain threshold.

Question 2

How long does electrolysis take?

Accepted Answer

A typical session lasts between 15-60 minutes, but the length of time depends on whether the hair is coarse, in-grown or has deeper follicles. 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.

Question 3

Are there electrolysis providers open on Sunday near me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, some electrolysis providers are open on Sundays. Browse Fresha to find practitioners near you with Sunday availability.

Question 4

What is electrolysis?

Accepted Answer

Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal. A fine probe is inserted into each hair follicle and a small electric current is applied to permanently destroy the follicle's ability to regrow hair. It works on all hair colours and skin types.

Question 5

How many electrolysis sessions are needed?

Accepted Answer

Complete permanent hair removal requires multiple sessions, as follicles are treated during their active growth phase. Most areas require 8–18 sessions or more over several months. Your electrologist will give a personalised estimate at your consultation.

Question 6

How do you care for your skin after electrolysis?

Accepted Answer

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.
