Electrolysis Training Course (Level 3 Equivalent)

Electrolysis is the only permanent method of hair removal available. It involves the insertion of a probe or filament into the hair follicle down to the dermal papilla and emits a burst of treatment energy enough to destroy the hair follicle. The hair is then removed with tweezers. 

Cost: £1,000, including booking fee of £180
