A thin filament, the width of the hair to be treated, passes into the follicle and down to the hair root, where a carefully measured amount of heat-producing electrical current is dispensed. This kills and detaches the hair, which is lifted from the follicle. Thermolysis is the fastest method, making it ideal for clearing large or dense growth areas.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li><span style=\"font-family: Lato;\">Galvanic \u2013 also known as Electrolysis. The procedure is similar to Thermolysis, but the method produces a chemical called Lye, which fills the hair follicle and kills the hair within. The process takes up to thirty seconds per hair, so it isn\u2019t often used for large areas of hair growth.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li><span style=\"font-family: Lato;\">Blend \u2013 utilises the heat of thermolysis to speed up the chemical reaction produced with galvanic. This cuts down individual hair treatment time to around 6-7 seconds.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato;\">An electrolysist needs a steady hand and precision to treat every hair accurately. A well-trained practitioner will achieve fantastic, permanent results, making this a much sought-after treatment.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato;\">In Canada and the US, the treatment is called Electrology, and practitioners are called Electrologists.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrology.com\/\">https:\/\/www.electrology.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrolysis.ca\/\">https:\/\/www.electrolysis.ca\/<\/a><\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-576ecda elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"576ecda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Thermolysis-Diagram-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-142\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Thermolysis-Diagram-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Thermolysis-Diagram-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Thermolysis-Diagram-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Thermolysis-Diagram-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Thermolysis-Diagram-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Thermolysis-Diagram-e1768136848424.jpg 566w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fe7037 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4fe7037\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Galvanic-hair-removal-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-139\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Galvanic-hair-removal-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Galvanic-hair-removal-1024x1020.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Galvanic-hair-removal-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Galvanic-hair-removal-768x765.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Galvanic-hair-removal-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Galvanic-hair-removal-e1768136908795.jpg 569w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8a2115 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e8a2115\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Blend-hair-removal-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-138\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Blend-hair-removal-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Blend-hair-removal-1024x1020.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Blend-hair-removal-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Blend-hair-removal-768x765.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Blend-hair-removal-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/elegacy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ELG-branded-Blend-hair-removal-e1768136957531.jpg 569w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electrolysis is the permanent removal of unwanted hair.
