PERMANENT FACIAL HAIR REMOVAL
facial electrolysis
Facial hair removal with electrolysis provides a precise approach to unwanted facial hair, whether you are concerned about a few persistent hairs or more noticeable growth. Treatment can be tailored to the amount, density and pattern of your facial hair, focusing on the areas that are most important to you.
Based in Rodney Street Liverpool City Centre, Kim provides facial electrolysis in a calm, discreet setting, with treatment planned around your individual needs and concerns.
PREVIOUS LASER TREATMENT
Laser hair removal can be an effective option for reducing facial hair, but it is not suitable for every hair type. Facial hair can be particularly influenced by hormonal factors, and some people experience increased or more noticeable hair growth following laser treatment.
This uncommon response is known as paradoxical hypertrichosis, where hair growth becomes thicker or more noticeable in the treated area. If you have experienced increased facial hair following laser treatment, electrolysis can be used to target individual hairs directly.
Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis does not rely on hair pigment, so it can treat individual hairs of different colours. Kim can assess the affected area during a consultation and advise whether electrolysis is suitable for your facial hair and treatment goals.
Understanding the cause
Facial hair is completely normal, but changes in its amount, thickness or colour can sometimes make it more noticeable. Genetics, age and hormonal changes can all influence facial hair growth, and the pattern can vary considerably from person to person.
In women, thicker or darker facial hair can sometimes be associated with higher androgen levels or increased sensitivity to these hormones. Conditions such as PCOS can contribute to this type of growth, while hormonal changes during menopause and certain medications can also play a role.
If facial hair has appeared suddenly or has become noticeably thicker or more widespread, particularly alongside other hormonal changes, it is worth speaking to your GP to rule out an underlying medical cause. Once the cause and pattern of the hair growth are understood, an appropriate hair-removal option can be considered.
What to expect.

Every treatment begins with a free consultation to discuss your concerns, assess your facial hair growth and understand the areas you would like to treat. Kim can then advise whether electrolysis is suitable for you.

Your treatment plan is based on factors such as the treatment area, amount and density of hair, previous hair-removal methods and your individual treatment goals. Kim will explain the recommended approach and treatment schedule.

During treatment, Kim uses a fine sterile probe to deliver a carefully controlled electrical current to the individual hair follicle. The treated hair is then removed, allowing the process to focus precisely on the hairs being targeted.

After treatment, Kim will provide personalised aftercare advice to help the treated skin settle. She will also guide you on what to expect following your appointment and how to care for the area between treatments.
A top tip from kim
If you are having electrolysis, avoid waxing, tweezing or threading between appointments, as these methods remove the hair from the root. Shaving or trimming can be used to manage visible hair between treatments.
PERMANENT RESULTS
Yes. Electrolysis is a permanent hair-removal method. When an individual hair follicle is successfully treated, it can be permanently disabled so that it no longer produces hair. This permanent result applies to the specific follicle that has been successfully treated.
Because facial hair grows through different stages, not every hair is ready to be treated at the same time. A course of appointments is therefore usually needed to treat hairs as they become suitable for treatment, with the number of sessions depending on factors such as the treatment area, hair density and individual hair growth.
Electrolysis can be used to treat unwanted hair across a wide range of facial areas, from a few individual hairs to more noticeable growth. Common treatment areas include the upper lip, chin, jawline, cheeks, neck, sideburns and eyebrows.
Treatment can also be tailored to smaller or less common areas where unwanted facial hair is a concern. During your consultation, Kim will assess the areas you would like to treat and discuss the most appropriate approach for your individual hair growth.

fREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No. Shaving does not make facial hair grow back thicker, darker or faster. It cuts the hair at the surface of the skin, which can make new growth feel slightly coarser at first, but it does not change the hair follicle or increase hair growth.
It is generally best to avoid applying makeup immediately after facial electrolysis while the treated skin settles. Kim will provide personalised aftercare advice and let you know when it is appropriate to resume your usual makeup and skincare routine.
It is normal to experience some mild redness or slight swelling immediately after facial electrolysis. The treated area may also feel sensitive for a short time following treatment. These effects usually settle as the skin recovers, and Kim will provide clear, personalised aftercare advice to support your skin following each appointment.
Yes. Electrolysis can help with recurring ingrown hairs by treating individual follicles that contribute to repeated ingrowth. This can be particularly useful for people who regularly experience ingrown hairs after shaving, waxing or tweezing.
Facial electrolysis can be suitable for sensitive skin, although individual responses vary. Kim will assess your skin and tailor the treatment accordingly, while providing appropriate aftercare guidance following your appointment.
