Electrolysis Hair Removal at Smooth Laser

Permanent Facial Hair Removal with Advanced Technology

At Smooth Laser, we offer electrolysis hair removal for the face using the Apilus electrolysis system, the most advanced technology available today. Whether you’re looking to remove unwanted hair on the upper lip, chin, jawline, or other facial areas, electrolysis provides a permanent solution for all skin and hair types, including white, grey, red, and very fine hairs that laser cannot treat.

Why Choose Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal method. It works by delivering a small electrical current to the hair follicle, destroying it at the root to prevent regrowth. Unlike temporary methods such as waxing or threading, electrolysis ensures that treated hairs never grow back.

The Apilus Difference – More Comfortable, Faster, and Safer

At Smooth Laser, we use the Apilus electrolysis machine, a modern, state-of-the-art system designed to make electrolysis treatments significantly more comfortable and effective than traditional methods. Here’s why Apilus stands out:

• More Comfortable – Apilus uses ultra-rapid impulses that target the follicle with greater precision, significantly reducing discomfort compared to older electrolysis machines.

• Faster Results – The advanced technology means quicker treatment times and more efficient destruction of hair follicles.

• Safer for Your Skin – Apilus is designed to be gentle, reducing the risk of skin irritation, redness, or damage.

Who is Electrolysis Suitable For?

Electrolysis is ideal for individuals who:

✔ Have white, grey, red, or very fine hair that laser cannot treat.

✔ Want a permanent hair removal solution.

✔ Prefer a treatment that is safe for all skin types.

How Frequent Are Electrolysis Appointments?

Because hair grows in cycles, electrolysis requires multiple sessions to effectively target all hairs at the right stage of growth. Typically:

• Weekly or fortnightly sessions are recommended at the start to achieve visible results.

• As the hair growth reduces, appointments can be spaced further apart.

• The total number of sessions needed varies based on individual hair density, hormonal influences, and treatment area.

What to Expect from Your Electrolysis Treatment

• A consultation to assess your hair type and discuss your treatment plan.

• Treatments typically last between 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the area.

• A series of sessions is needed for full clearance, as hair grows in cycles.

• A little hair length is required for treatment, so please avoid plucking or waxing beforehand.

FAQs About Electrolysis

Is electrolysis really permanent?

Yes! Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal method. Once a hair follicle is destroyed, it will not grow back.

Does electrolysis hurt?

With the Apilus electrolysis system, treatments are much more comfortable compared to traditional electrolysis. Some clients feel a slight warming or tingling sensation, but it is generally well tolerated.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on the amount of hair being treated. Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed for full clearance. Most clients start with weekly or fortnightly sessions, then reduce frequency as hair growth slows.

Can I have electrolysis if I’ve had laser hair removal?

Yes! Electrolysis is perfect for removing any remaining hairs after laser treatment, especially if they have turned white or grey.

What should I do before my appointment?

Please allow some hair to grow before your session so we can properly assess and treat it. Avoid plucking or waxing before your appointment.

What is the aftercare for electrolysis?

• Avoid touching or scratching the treated area.

• Keep the skin clean and apply soothing products if needed.

• Avoid excessive heat, sun exposure, and makeup on the treated area for 24 hours.
