Electrolysis Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a treatment and how many will I require?

ACP treatments are safe and effective and offer instantaneous results in many cases. Length of treatment very much depends on the problem and your electrolysis specialist will advise you during consultation.

The area must not be over-treated and your skin reactivity will be taken into account. Spacing technique and treatment intervals will be carefully considered in a treatment plan by the professional as well as your requirements, needs and wishes.

How are Thread Veins treated?

The tip of the finest, smallest probe possible (about the size of an eyelash) is introduced along the line of the capillary and high frequency energy is discharged. This ‘dries up’ and destroys the vessel which often disappears as it is being treated. Further treatments may be necessary depending on the severity of the problem.

How are Skin Tags treated?

There are a number of different techniques depending on the location and size of the tag. Results are effective, instantaneous and permanent for the tags treated although more tags may appear in time.

Will my blemishes return?

The treated blemish should not return but others may occur depending on the root cause. Your electrolysis specialist will advise you during consultation.

Mixing electrolysis methods

The method chosen is a decision the electrolysis specialist will make and will be determined by the blemish(es), condition of the skin, client compatibility and equipment.

How much does it cost?

Usually you pay for the length of time you are treated with a minimum of 15 minutes. The price varies depending on the clinic, area and equipment. The electrolysis specialist will be pleased to offer you a consultation and price estimate.
