FDA-Recognised Permanent

Electrolysis is the only hair removal method classified as permanent by the FDA — destroying each follicle's ability to regrow hair.

Works on Every Hair Colour

Blonde, grey, red, white — every hair colour responds. Electrolysis targets the follicle, not pigment, so it works where laser cannot.

Gold-Standard Apilus Technology

We use Apilus — the most advanced electrolysis system in the world — for faster, more comfortable treatments at our Cardiff Gate clinic.

Qualified Cardiff Electrologists

Treatments are carried out by qualified, experienced electrologists, never trainees. Your results, comfort and skin health are our priority.

Precision for Sensitive Areas

Perfect for delicate areas: brows, upper lip, chin, ears and nipples. Each individual hair is treated with precision.

Flexible Session Lengths

Sessions from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the area. Fits easily around work and life in Cardiff, Newport and Caerphilly.

Before Your Treatment

• Do not tweeze, wax or thread for at least 2 weeks before
• Shaving is fine — hair must be visible to the electrologist

During Your Treatment

After Your Treatment

• Mild redness or tiny pinpoint swellings — settle within hours
• Avoid touching the area to keep it bacteria-free
