Electrolysis & Skin Blemish Removal FAQ
Electrolysis Hair Removal
What is electrolysis ?
Electrolysis treats each hair follicle individually. A very fine, sterile, single‑use probe is gently inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle alongside the hair shaft. A small amount of electrical current is then applied, allowing the hair to be removed easily while permanently disabling the follicle’s ability to produce hair.

Is electrolysis suitable for me ?
Yes. Electrolysis is suitable for all genders, skin tones, and hair types. Unlike laser, which relies on pigment and can struggle with light, grey, or fine hair, electrolysis works on all hair colours and textures.
It is also particularly effective for hormonal hair growth, including conditions such as PCOS, where other methods often fail to provide lasting results.

Is electrolysis painful?
Most people describe electrolysis as very tolerable, often feeling a brief warming or tingling sensation. Sensitivity does vary, which is why a complimentary 10‑minute trial treatment is included as part of the free consultation.
Settings are always adjusted carefully to keep treatment as comfortable as possible.

Why choose electrolysis over other hair removal methods?
Electrolysis is the only medically recognised method of permanent hair removal.
Laser can reduce hair growth but does not permanently remove hair and is not suitable for everyone.
Waxing, threading, and tweezing are temporary and can cause irritation or ingrown hairs.
Shaving and depilatory creams remove hair only at the surface and often lead to faster regrowth.
Once electrolysis treatment is complete, the hair does not return.
How much does electrolysis cost?
At Chichester Electrolysis, sessions range from £20 to £50, depending on treatment duration and area.
Across the UK, prices typically range from £20 to £100 per session. Our pricing aims to remain accessible while maintaining a high standard of care.

How long does it take to be hair‑free?
Each session typically lasts between 10 minutes and one hour, depending on the area being treated. Full clearance takes place over time and depends on:
Hair thickness and density
The area being treated
Individual response to treatment
Electrolysis is not a quick fix, but it offers permanent results for those willing to commit to the process.
Are there any downsides to electrolysis?
Electrolysis is highly effective but requires multiple sessions, as each follicle must be treated individually. Temporary redness or slight swelling can occur and typically settles within a few hours, although for some people it may take a little longer.
Will the NHS pay for electrolysis?
In some circumstances, the NHS may fund electrolysis, particularly for transgender patients as part of gender‑affirming care. For most hair removal treatments, electrolysis is privately funded. Eligibility can be discussed with your GP.
