Electrolysis in Knightsbridge, London
We provide professional electrolysis hair removal at our clinic in Knightsbridge, London (118 Knightsbridge, London). We’re conveniently located near Harrods and Hyde Park, with easy transport links. If you’re looking for a private, professional setting for permanent hair removal, our team will tailor a plan to your skin and hair type.
What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a state-of-the-art method for permanently removing hair by targeting the hair follicle directly.
The treatment begins with a consultation, during which our experienced professionals assess your skin type, hair growth patterns, and treatment goals to create your personalized plan.
Unlike other methods, electrolysis is suitable for all skin tones and hair colours, making it a versatile and reliable choice for hair removal.
Once the treatment area is prepared, a fine, sterile probe is gently inserted into each individual hair follicle. This probe delivers a small, controlled electric current that effectively destroys the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth.
The process is repeated for each follicle in the targeted area, ensuring precise and thorough coverage.
How Many Electrolysis Treatments Will I Need?
Many factors influence hair growth, so you will need to return for several electrolysis visits. The total number of sessions needed will vary from person to person (hereditary, hormonal issues).
Most clients return once a week or every other week as needed. But the unwanted hair will be gone forever once the series of treatments is complete.
Each treatment lasts between 15 minutes and one hour.
Treatment Areas
Face:
✔ Upper lip, chin, eyebrows, cheeks, sideburns
Body:
✔ Underarms, bikini line, legs, arms, chest, back
Suitable for:
✔ All skin types and hair colors
✔ Fine and coarse hair
✔ Sensitive areas where laser can't treat
Why Electrolysis Works Everywhere: Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis treats each hair individually, making it effective on all areas regardless of skin tone or hair color.
Electrolysis vs Laser Hair Removal (Which Is Better?)
Electrolysis and laser hair removal are both effective, but they work differently. Laser targets pigment in the hair, so it’s often best for treating larger areas when there’s strong contrast between hair and skin. Electrolysis treats each hair individually at the follicle, which is why it’s the gold-standard option when you want a truly permanent result.
Electrolysis is often the better choice for:
✔ Light hair (blonde, red, grey/white) that laser may not pick up well
✔ Small, precise areas like the upper lip, chin, eyebrows and facial hair shaping
✔ Clients who want a permanent solution hair-by-hair, especially for stubborn regrowth
Laser can be a great option for:
✔ Larger areas (legs, back, chest) where speed matters
✔ Reducing dense hair growth efficiently over a course of sessions
Not sure which is best for you? Book an appointment in our Knightsbridge clinic in London and we’ll recommend the right option based on your hair colour, skin type, area, and goals.
How Often Should I Book Electrolysis Sessions?
✔ Initial frequency: Start with appointments every 1–2 weeks to catch hairs in their active growth stage.
✔ As treatment progresses: The time between sessions will increase as hair growth reduces. You may eventually move to monthly sessions or less for maintenance.
✔ Why multiple sessions are needed: Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are needed to treat hairs as they enter the growth phase.
Your therapist will confirm the best schedule based on the area treated and your hair growth.
