Electrolysis is a fine needle with eletric current which is inserted into a hair folicle to destroy the root. It offers permanant hair removal, although multiple sessions are required to give the best result. Hair grows in 3 different stages, growing, resting and shedding, so it is important to have multiple sessions of electrolysis, to ensure all hairs are being treated at the best stage. Not all hairs are at the same stage at any one time.
Unlike Laser treatments, electrolysis can be carried out on any skin and hair type. You can treat a small area at a time with removal of individual hairs. Laser treatments are usually recommended every 4-6 weeks depending on the area, whereas electrolysis may be carried out weekly if necessary.
Although electrolysis works on all skin and hair types, there are contraindications which would mean treatment would not be suitable. These would consist of skin infections, recent scar tissue, sun burn, pregnancy, Epilepsy and metal plates in the area to be treated. There are some conditions which would require a Doctor’s letter prior to treatment such as high blood pressure, a heart condition and asthma. The pain may trigger any of these conditions.
Electrolysys is priced according to the length of time you are treated for. 10 minutes or less is £9, 15 minutes is £12, 20 minutes is £16 and 30 minutes is £20. Initally we would recommend you have 10-15 minutes to let your skin adjust and let you get used to the sensation. Your therapist will then advise you how long a session you require and how often to come in.
The skin can be sensitive and slightly bumpy after treatment. We recommend the use of aloe vera and a cold compress if necessary to cool the skin. This is only a tempory reaction of usually up to 24 hours .
As woman, most of us have them, whether we are a size zero super model or have a more realistic curvier body shape – cellulite and stretch marks take no prisoners. Whilst not harmful to the health, aesthetically they can be one of the biggest barriers to self-confidence amongst woman.
To treat cellulite it is necessary to stimulate the area in order to reduce the volume of fat that has become stored and to kick start the blood flow and circulation which has become sluggish. there are no miracle cures but a less sedentary lifestyle, combined with professional and home treatments will see a marked improvement in the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite.
There are many options available to you, lets take a look at our favourites:

The Harley Body Wrap is a relaxing way to lose inches and refine the figure.
The body is wrapped in cotton bandages soaked in Aloe Vera formula, which are then gently warmed. The Aloe Vera with added vitamins and collagen, and no natural or added salts, deeply hydrates and softens the skin.
The warmth of the wrap opens the pores allowing the solution to penetrate into the dermal layer.
The formula helps to dislodge toxic build up trapped in fat-prone areas, which is then flushed out into the lymph system.
Once these tissues have broken down they are flushed out through the body’s natural waste system, so the body is highly detoxified and cleansed.
As well as providing instant inch loss, Harley Body Wrap improves skin hydration, tonicity and softness and as a result of the detoxifying effect, energy levels are boosted.
The treatment is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive. £55
