Hair Removal
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is the only scientifically proven method of permanent hair removal recognised worldwide. It is suitable forall skin types, all hair colours and all hair textures, including fair, grey, red and fine hairs that other methods cannot treat.
By treating each individual hair follicle, electrolysis permanently destroys its ability to produce new hair. Whether you’re concerned about a few facial hairs, hormonal hair growth, hereditary hair growth or larger areas, electrolysis offers aprecise, safe and permanent solution.
Unlike temporary methods such as tweezing, waxing, threading or shaving, electrolysis removes the hair forever, rather than managing it indefinitely.
History
Anna Hartley has been a qualified Electrologist since 1989 and has spent over 35 years helping thousands of clients achieve permanent hair removal. Her experience spans everything from occasional facial hairs to complex hormonal hair growth concerns.
In recent years, Anna has also supported many women who experienced increased hair growth after facial laser or IPL treatments. A recognised phenomenon called Paradoxical Hypertrichosis can occur in hormonally sensitive areas such as the face, jawline and neck where laser may stimulate additional hair growth instead of reducing it.
Anna’s extensive experience allows her to guide clients who feel frustrated or distressed after years of unsuccessful hair removal attempts.
Types of Hair & Causes
Menopausal Hair Growth
Hormonal changes during menopause can trigger new or increased facial hair growth. Electrolysis is highly effective for permanently removing these hairs, regardless of colour or texture.
PCOS & Hormonal Hair Growth
Women with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (formally known as PCOS) often experience persistent or excessive facial and body hair. Electrolysis is considered the treatment of choice, as it permanently removes hair rather than managing it long-term.
Hypertrichosis & Paradoxical Growth
Some individuals experience increased hair growth due to hereditary factors, medication, or paradoxical stimulation from laser/IPL treatments. Electrolysis can successfully treat these hairs and restore confidence.
Men’s Hair Concerns
Men may seek electrolysis for areas such as the beard line, neck, ears or shoulders. Electrolysis is suitable for all hair textures, including coarse or dense male hair.
Early Intervention
At Anna Coleman Skin Solutions, we believe prevention is better than cure. Treating a small number of hairs early is often simpler, quicker, and more cost-effective than addressing a long-established concern.
The Apilus Electrolysis Machine
At Anna Coleman Skin Solutions, we use the Apilus electrolysis system, one of the most advanced ad respected technologies in the industry.
The Apilus machine is known for:
- Exceptional precision – delivering energy directly and efficiently into the follicle
- Increased comfort – using ultrafast frequencies to minimise sensation
- Superior effectiveness – achieving permanent results more quickly and comfortably
- Safety for all skin types – including sensitive and reactive skin
Apilus technology allows for highly targeted treatment, making it ideal for delicate facial areas, hormonally driven hair growth and clients who have not responded well to other methods.

IPL
Intense Pulsed Light Treatments
A popular choice for permanent hair reduction, vascular treatment, as well as skin rejuvenation, IPL or intense pulsed light, is a non-invasive technology used globally for its multiple benefits without requiring any downtime.
Many of our acne clients have experienced significant changes in their skin tone and texture, as well as a reduction in pore size after a course of these treatments.
Usually, a course of 6-10 treatments is recommended to target concerns such as the following for optimal results:
- Skin concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, superficial capillaries and discoloration
- Vascular concerns such as facial blemishes, rosacea, thread veins, and other types of unsightly veins or capillaries on the face or body
- Permanent hair reduction on the face or body
Most people are safely eligible for IPL treatments, which is determined via a full consultation and patch testing. However it is best to discuss your needs with Anna or our therapists to determine your suitability, as well as how many treatments are required depending upon the severity of the concern.
How does IPL work?
A handheld device will be used by our highly-trained therapists to generate an intense pulse of light towards targeted areas of the skin. Some discomfort will be experienced depending on your pain threshold, similar to the sensation of flicking an elastic band onto the skin. This discomfort decreases as each area is treated.
There are no long-term side effects as IPL is a safe treatment, however, in the short term, redness might be experienced and will disappear within a few hours. There is also no downtime with IPL, however, the treated area should not be exposed to direct sunlight for at least 4 weeks.

ALEXANDRIA Professional Sugaring
This unique and effective hair removal system utilises sugar.
Far superior to waxing since it is not damaging to the hair follicles, we apply a sugar paste solution to your skin in the opposite direction of your hair growth, and remove it gently. Since the paste is lukewarm, there is no risk of burning to the skin. The hair can slide out effortlessly and comfortably for a complete and pain-free extraction.
Our technique is safe, and eliminates hair breakage, unecessary discomfort, and ingrown hairs, with an added benefit of exfoliating dry and dead skin cells.
Our Alexandria sugaring products are 100% natural, non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance and colour free, and hygienic, since high concentrations of sugar cannot harbour bacteria.
We also ensure there is no cross-contamination, sticking or burning sensation, and your skin is hair-free and smooth between treatments. Since the products are non-comedogenic, your pores won’t be clogged, and your skin texture will remain smooth and supple.
Please note: The correct pre-treatment care is a prerequisite to having a sugaring treatment with us. Specific instructions will be provided by your therapist about pre and post care.
