Electrolysis Hair Removal: Permanent Solution You Need
It’s time to stop the endless cycle of waxing, threading, and shaving. If you’re ready for a real, lasting solution, CoLaz Electrolysis Hair Removal offers the results you’ve been looking for.
At CoLaz, we specialise in permanent hair removal treatments using the most advanced FDA-approved electrolysis technology. Whether you’re targeting facial hair, body hair, or stubborn fine hairs that lasers can’t remove, electrolysis is the only method proven to deliver 100% permanent results.
We also offer a range of hair removal treatments, including laser and electrolysis, so we can recommend the best solution for your unique skin and hair type.
What Is Electrolysis Hair Removal?
Electrolysis is a scientifically proven method for removing unwanted hair from the face and body permanently. Developed in 1875 by Dr. Charles Michel, electrolysis remains the only FDA-approved method for 100% permanent hair removal.
The process involves inserting a fine, sterile needle into each hair follicle. A small electric current passes through the needle to the follicle, creating heat or a chemical reaction (depending on the technique used). This destroys the follicle’s ability to produce new hair.
Unlike laser hair removal, which targets pigment, electrolysis works on all hair and skin types, including grey, blond, white, and red hair. That makes it ideal for anyone seeking complete and permanent results where other treatments fall short.
If you’ve ever asked, “Is electrolysis permanent?” the answer is yes. Once a follicle is destroyed, the hair is gone for good.
What Method Of Electrolysis Does Colaz Use?
There are three main types of electrolysis currents used in professional hair removal treatments:
At CoLaz, we use the latest Apilus computerised electrolysis technology designed for virtually painless, highly effective treatments. Apilus delivers energy precisely and safely, resulting in less tissue damage and faster recovery.
Our most commonly used method is a combination of thermolysis and blend electrolysis, giving you the best possible results with maximum comfort.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
Every hair grows in cycles, and electrolysis can only destroy follicles that are in the anagen (active growth) phase. Because of this, you’ll need a series of sessions to achieve complete, permanent hair removal.
During the initial stage, treatments are usually scheduled every 1-2 weeks to target new hairs as they enter the growth phase. Over time, as hair growth slows, the sessions become less frequent.
For smaller areas like the chin or upper lip, many clients notice significant improvement after the first few sessions. However, consistency is key; skipping too much time between appointments can cause you to miss the optimal treatment window.
Your CoLaz practitioner will design a personalised treatment plan for your goals, hair type, and schedule.
If you’ve ever wondered “How many electrolysis sessions will I need?”, our consultation will explain everything in detail and set clear expectations for your results.

Does Electrolysis Have Any Side Effects?
Electrolysis is a safe and effective procedure, especially when performed by our trained CoLaz clinicians. Like any advanced skin treatment, mild and temporary side effects can occur.
You may notice slight redness, small bumps, or swelling where the needle was inserted. These symptoms usually settle within 24 to 72 hours (and up to 10 days for sensitive skin). Tiny scabs may also form; these should be left alone to heal naturally.
Aftercare tips:
- Keep the treated area clean and dry for 24 hours.
- Avoid picking or scratching the skin.
- Skip saunas, sunbeds, and heavy makeup until the skin has fully calmed.
Electrolysis is considered one of the safest permanent hair removal methods, but if you notice anything unusual after treatment, our team is always available to help and guide you.
Treatment Positions in Electrolysis
At CoLaz, comfort and precision are key to every electrolysis session. The term “positions” refers to both the areas of the body we treat and how you and your electrologist are positioned during your session to ensure safety, hygiene, and accuracy.
Common Treatment Areas
|
Area |
Typical Position / Setup |
|
Face (upper lip, chin, eyebrows, cheeks) |
You’ll recline in a semi-upright chair while your electrologist sits facing you for clear visibility and control. |
|
Underarms |
You’ll recline with one arm lifted or extended, supported by a towel or cushion for comfort. |
|
Arms / Hands |
Your arm rests on a table or pillow to stay steady during treatment. |
|
Legs / Thighs |
You’ll lie flat or in a reclined position, with legs supported to give your electrologist easy access. |
|
Bikini / Groin Area |
Similar to a waxing setup, you’ll be comfortably draped to maintain privacy throughout. |
|
Back / Shoulders |
You’ll lie face down on the treatment bed while your electrologist works from behind. |
|
Chest / Abdomen |
You’ll recline comfortably, with modesty draping in place as needed. |
Correct Electrologist Posture
Our electrologists maintain proper posture to deliver precise results and avoid fatigue. This includes:
- Keeping the back straight and shoulders relaxed
- Supporting the hands on a pillow or armrest
- Using optimal lighting and magnification for accuracy
- Inserting the probe parallel to the hair shaft to protect the skin
Ensuring Client Comfort
We use pillows and bolsters to support your body and reduce strain during treatment. The skin is gently stretched to help with probe insertion, and both you and your electrologist remain at a comfortable working height to ensure a smooth, effective session.
