    Before Your Electrolysis Appointment

    To ensure the best possible results from your electrolysis session, a few simple preparations can make a significant difference. Prior to your appointment, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds, as well as the use of self-tanning products.

    Additionally, refrain from plucking, waxing, or using depilatory creams in the treatment area for a few weeks leading up to your session. This allows the hair follicles to be in their natural growth phase, enabling the electrolysis process to effectively target them.

    Our knowledgeable team will provide you with detailed instructions and answer any questions you may have during your consultation, ensuring you are fully prepared for your electrolysis appointment.

    During Your Electrolysis Appointment

    When you arrive at a LuxWax salon for your electrolysis treatment, our skilled practitioners will guide you through a comfortable and efficient process. The duration of the appointment varies depending on the size of the treatment area and the density of hair, typically ranging from 15 minutes to an hour.

    Electrolysis involves the precise application of a low-level electrical current to the hair follicles, targeting the growing portion and disabling their ability to produce hair permanently. Our experts utilise advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure accuracy and minimise discomfort during the procedure. You can rest assured that you are in safe and capable hands throughout your electrolysis session at LuxWax.

    After Your Electrolysis Appointment

    Aftercare is an essential aspect of maximising the benefits of your electrolysis treatment. Following your session, you may experience temporary redness or slight swelling in the treated area, but these effects usually subside within a few hours.

    It is crucial to avoid sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and swimming pools for at least 24 hours post-treatment to protect the treated skin. Our team will provide you with specific aftercare instructions, including the use of soothing creams or gels and the gentle cleansing of the treated area. By following these guidelines, you can ensure a smooth recovery and enhance the long-lasting results of your electrolysis hair removal at LuxWax.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    is electrolysis permanent?

    Electrolysis has the best track record for permanent hair removal. It is the only FDA approved method that is safe, effective and 100% permanent. Electrolysis is unlike laser hair removal which has only been around since year 2000 and so the long term side effects of laser hair removal are still being monitored. Electrolysis has a proven track record.

    does electrolysis hurt?

    Electrolysis can cause some discomfort, but it varies from person to person. Some describe it as a stinging or pricking sensation, but numbing creams can be used to minimise any pain.

    what areas can be treated with electrolysis?

    Electrolysis works on any body area. Commonly customers have treatments on the face, such as upper lip, chin, cheeks, beard, eyebrows and the brow middle, breasts, underarms and pubic area.

    how does electrolysis hair removal work?

    Electrolysis hair removal works by inserting a tiny probe into each hair follicle and delivering a small electrical current to destroy the hair root. This process prevents future hair growth.

    what is electrolysis hair removal?

    Electrolysis has been used for over 140 years to remove hair permanently. An experienced therapist would insert a tiny probe into the hair follicle and a high frequency alternating electrical current is applied. The electrical current heats up the surrounding tissue and disables the follicle, distorting it permanently.

    how many electrolysis treatments are needed?

    There are many factors that directly influence the number of treatments needed, such as:

    • Electrolysis can only be applied to a hair if it is in the anagen (growing) phase
    • Hormones
    • Medication
    • Hair density and size of the area treated
    • Skin sensitivity

    Generally, treatments should be carried out in fortnightly intervals to ensure the visible hairs are in the anagen phase. As the treatments progress and the hair growth diminishes, treatment sessions will become shorter with longer gaps between sessions. Eventually, you will come back once a year for a “touch up” if any new hairs were to appear.

    how much does electrolysis hair removal cost?

    does electrolysis work on all hair and skin types?

    Electrolysis is suitable for all hair and skin types. It can be used on any colour or thickness of hair and works effectively on various skin tones. It is considered a safe and permanent hair removal method for all individuals.

    It was my first visit to LuxWax and it exceeded all expectations. What a lovely salon. Extremely clean and a great vibe. Juliana was extremely professional and really friendly. Highly recommend for body waxing !

    Happy Customer

    Best wax I have ever had! Linzi was personable, professional, caring & welcoming. I had the ‘Full Monty’ with their own wax, which was painless and left my skin feeling soft & smooth. Linzi also gave me an aftercare package! Such a lovely and personal touch to a great experience. Couldn’t recommend Linzi and LuxWax more!

    Happy Customer

    I have also just started a laser hair removal programme for my bikini area and cannot recommend it enough! Really painless and so effective - I have seen results after just 2 sessions - I am so happy with the results and would highly recommend!

    Happy Customer

    They are professional, do a great job and are nice - a truly “often imitated but never equalled” great experience. I was looking to change from a salon in the West End I used to go to.

    Happy Customer

    The place was beautiful. Service was great, professionalism was a 10/10 I went for a wax. Every question I had was answered with detail. She made me feel so comfortable and gave me great aftercare advice. She was so professional and friendly I will definitely be booking again!
