Electrolysis
At Binsina Skin & Laser Clinic, electrolysis is a safe and effective method for long term hair removal. It effectively addresses unwanted facial and body hair, and is an ideal solution for many people as it is suitable for all skin types and hair colours.
This treatment utilises a small, sterile probe that is inserted into each hair follicle, delivering a precise amount of electrical energy. The electrical current destroys the hair follicle’s ability to grow hair, ensuring long-lasting results.
The procedure is highly customisable, allowing our trained practitioners to target specific areas based on your individual needs. During the treatment, you may experience mild discomfort, which can be minimised with topical anaesthetics. Sessions typically last between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Multiple sessions are often required to achieve optimal results, as hair grows in different cycles, ensuring that all hair follicles are effectively treated over time.

Is Electrolysis right for you?
With electrolysis, patients can expect long term or permanent hair removal in treated areas after completing the recommended sessions. Initial results may be noticeable after the first few treatments, as hair gradually becomes finer and less noticeable.
However, because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions – typically spaced a few weeks apart – are necessary to effectively target all hair follicles. Most individuals require 5-15 sessions, depending on the area being treated and hair density. Once the hair follicles are successfully destroyed, the results can be permanent, meaning that hair will not regrow in those areas. Regular maintenance may be needed for any stray hairs that may emerge.
