Question

Hi Charlotte,

I’ve been struggling with a few stubborn chin hairs and also have a skin tag I’d love to get rid of. I’ve heard electrolysis can help with both — but I’m not sure how it works or how many sessions I’d need. Can you explain how it all works and how to get the best results?

Thanks so much,
Lydia

Hi Lydia,
I’m so glad you’ve reached out.

Electrolysis is a fantastic choice for permanent hair removal, especially for small or hormonal areas like the chin and the great news is we can also treat skin tags using a similar method, even in the same appointment.

To get the best results, consistency is key. For hair removal, you’ll need regular sessions at first while we work with your natural hair growth cycle. But for the skin tag, many clients see results in just one session!

Everything is tailored to you, and we’ll guide you with a personalised plan, whether it's for hair removal, skin concerns, or both.

To start, we can book you a consultation and treatment appointment. It's a 30-minute appointment and includes both treatments. The total cost for treating the skin tag and hair removal together is £120.

How does that sound?

Ask Charlotte: How to Get the Best from Your Electrolysis Treatments in Norwich

Whether you’re looking for permanent hair removal or advanced cosmetic skin treatments, electrolysis is one of the most effective and versatile methods available and at Charisma Beauty & Skincare Norwich, we specialise in both.

If you’re considering electrolysis (or already having it), this guide will explain exactly how to get the most out of your treatments, what to expect, and how to ensure the best results for your skin.

What is Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is the only medically recognised method of permanent hair removal.

It works by inserting a very fine, sterile probe into the hair follicle, delivering a small electrical current that destroys the follicle at the root — meaning it can never produce another hair.

It’s incredibly precise and is suitable for:

• All skin tones
• All hair colours (including blonde, grey, red and white — unlike laser)
• Small, sensitive or hormonal areas like chin, upper lip, jawline, nipples, or fingers

At Charisma, we use advanced techniques and equipment to make treatments as effective and comfortable as possible, with complete discretion and care.

But That’s Not All: Electrolysis for Skin Imperfections (ACP)

Did you know electrolysis can also be used to remove a variety of minor skin blemishes and cosmetic concerns?

This is called Advanced Cosmetic Procedures (ACP) and we offer this specialist service right here in Norwich.

Using the same electrolysis technology, we can treat:

These treatments are quick, safe, and highly effective with visible improvements from the first session in many cases.

If you’ve been living with a cosmetic skin issue that bothers you, ACP could be a game-changer.

How to Get the Best Results from Your Electrolysis Hair Removal

Whether you’re booking for chin hair, underarm fuzz, or hormonal jawline growth, here’s how to make sure you’re getting the most from every session:

1. Commit to Consistency

Electrolysis works by weakening and destroying each follicle over time. The more regular your sessions (especially early on), the more effective the results.

We usually recommend:

• Weekly or fortnightly treatments at the start
• Then gradually reducing as the hair becomes finer and sparser
• Eventually moving to maintenance (if needed)

Skipping sessions can delay progress — your hair grows in cycles, so consistency is key!

2. Stop All Tweezing and Waxing

To be effective, the hair must be visible in the follicle. That means no plucking, waxing, threading or epilating between sessions, shaving is fine.

Think of it like this:

If you pull the hair out, we can’t treat it. If you leave it visible, we can destroy it.

3. Follow Your Aftercare

Your skin may feel warm or pink after treatment, this is totally normal. We’ll always advise you on aftercare, but some key tips include:

• Avoid touching or scratching the area
• Don’t apply makeup or skincare to the area for 24 hours
• No hot baths, swimming, or saunas for 24 hours
• Always apply SPF if the treated area is exposed

Good aftercare = calm skin, quicker healing, and better long-term results.

4. Stay Patient — Results Are Permanent, but Gradual

Electrolysis is not a “quick fix” but it is permanent.

You’ll likely need a series of sessions (often 12+) depending on the area, your hair growth pattern, and hormone influences (e.g. PCOS, menopause). But each time we treat a follicle, we’re one step closer to ending that hair for good.

Clients who commit to the process say it’s life-changing, no more plucking, panic, or hiding.

5. Choose an Experienced, Qualified Therapist

Electrolysis is a skilled treatment, especially for delicate areas or advanced skin blemish work.

At Charisma, our electrolysis and ACP services are delivered by highly trained advanced therapists who:

• Understand skin sensitivity and reaction
• Use sterilised equipment and precision probes
• Prioritise comfort, safety, and results

If you’re nervous, we’ll guide you every step of the way. Many of our clients say they wish they’d started sooner!
