Epilation Hair Removal: What to Expect and Why Clients Choose It

If you are looking for a long-term solution to unwanted hair, epilation—often referred to as electrolysis—remains one of the most reliable and precise options available. At The Beauty Spot in Wadebridge, we provide professional epilation treatments in a calm, discreet setting with your comfort and confidence in mind.

But what exactly is epilation, how does it work, and why do so many of our clients trust it over other methods?

What is epilation hair removal?

Epilation is a method of permanent hair removal that uses a fine probe and a small electrical current to treat individual hair follicles. Once treated, the follicle is no longer able to produce hair. It is the only method approved by the NHS for permanent removal of unwanted facial and body hair, and it can be used on all hair colours and skin types.

This makes epilation especially helpful for clients with lighter or finer hairs that are not always suitable for laser.

How the process works

During your appointment, a trained therapist will gently insert a sterile probe into the hair follicle and apply a low-level electrical current. This current destroys the hair root, and the hair is then removed with tweezers. The process is repeated for each hair, one by one.

The number of sessions needed depends on the area being treated, the density of the hair, and your individual growth cycle. Appointments are often booked weekly or fortnightly to follow the natural stages of hair growth.

Benefits of epilation

1. Permanent results:
When the course is completed, the treated hairs will not grow back. This makes it an ideal solution for clients who are tired of constant upkeep.

2. Suitable for all hair types:
Unlike laser hair removal, which targets pigment, epilation works on any hair colour including white, grey and blonde.

3. Precision and control:
Each hair is treated individually, which allows for accurate shaping and effective treatment of smaller areas such as the chin, upper lip or eyebrows.

4. Safe for sensitive areas:
Epilation can be used safely on the face, bikini line and other delicate areas, making it a versatile choice.

5. Boosts confidence:
Many of our clients choose epilation to reduce the stress and discomfort of facial hair. It offers freedom from daily plucking or shaving and supports a more carefree routine.

If you are considering epilation, we recommend starting with a consultation to discuss your goals and create a treatment plan that suits you. At The Beauty Spot, your comfort and safety are always our priority.
