Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs from your face or body. Medical electrolysis devices destroy the growth centre of the hair with chemical or heat energy. After that, a very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle, and the hair is removed with tweezers. It’s considered the only method of permanent hair removal available. 

The cost of electrolysis hair removal can vary hugely depending on a lot of factors, like the area and amount of hair being treated, and the number of treatments necessary. Price differences also include the clinic and area of the country in which you’re being treated.

As a baseline, you can expect to pay anywhere between £30/$50 and £200/$250 per electrolysis treatment. Most clinicians base the treatment’s cost on the amount of time each session takes to complete, so these numbers can vary, even from one session to the next.

The length of time an electrolysis treatment takes depends on the area being treated, and the amount of hair in that area. Generally appointments last between 15 minutes and an hour, but some clients can request longer session times. 

Many patients find that they require several treatments before they’re satisfied with the outcome from their electrolysis treatments. This sometimes means patients receive 15 to 20 treatments to any given area before the treatment has thoroughly taken hold. 

You can expect to be having treatments for 12-18 months for an area to be thoroughly completed, then you’ll never have to worry about it again!
