MY Electrolysis

✨ A little re introduction ✨

Hi, I’m Gemma, owner of My Electrolysis 👋
I’ve been running my business for almost 10 years now!!

I’m also mum to two boys, aged 13 and 5, plus our miniature sausage dog Darcy 🐶🧡 so life outside of work is usually busy, noisy and chaotic!

My passion for electrolysis actually started way back when I was 16 studying Beauty Therapy at college. We covered electrolysis and I remember seeing the difference it made to our college clients and thinking… wow, this really changes people’s lives.

After having my eldest son, I retrained in electrolysis and started building my business doing what I genuinely love.

Over the years I’ve also trained in advanced electrolysis blemish removal so I can help people with even more concerns, things like skin tags, milia, thread veins and other blemishes.

Fast forward to now and business is busier than ever, we’ve got so many lovely clients and I honestly feel so grateful that I get to do this as my job ❤️

What I love most about electrolysis is that it can work for everyone, and there is nothing better feeling then seeing a client start to notice a real difference… that moment where they realise “this is actually working!” The enthusiasm, the confidence growing, hearing how much of a difference it’s making to their everyday life… I never get bored of it.

Clients tell me all the time that treatment has changed their lives and honestly… that’s why I do what I do.

Best job in the world ❤️✨

Thank you to everyone who has supported My Electrolysis over the years, clients, followers, friends & family… I appreciate you all 🫶

Happy International Women’s Day 💛

Next weekend I have the honour of speaking at a local International Women’s Day event about my journey running My Electrolysis and how the work we do helps women regain their confidence.

For almost 10 years I’ve been helping women who struggle with unwanted facial hair due to hormones, genetics, laser stimulation and other causes, alongside treating a variety of skin concerns, and one of the most powerful things I’ve learned is that so many women feel like they’re alone in these struggles when they absolutely aren’t.

I’ll be talking about the emotional impact this can have on women’s lives and how creating a safe space for them to feel comfortable in their own skin is something I’m incredibly proud of.

It feels very special to be sharing this on a day that celebrates women 💛

Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing women out there 🥰

Everyone is welcome at this event 🧡

If you’ve been thinking about removing a skin tag, this is your sign 💛

Quick, gentle and permanent results 💕

Message me to get booked in!

This is your sign to stop putting up with that skin tag!

I genuinely don’t understand why more people don’t get them removed… because it’s-

✨ Quick
✨ Easy
✨ Affordable
✨ And permanently gone

No creams.
No waiting.
No “living with it”.

Skin tags can be removed in just one appointment, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

The biggest thing my clients say afterwards is…
“I wish I’d done this years ago.”

They’ve often spent so long feeling self-conscious about something that was actually such a simple fix.

If you’ve got a skin tag that catches, bothers you, or you’re just fed up of seeing it, you don’t have to keep it.

“How long will it take?”

This is one of the first questions I’m always asked, and the honest answer is: it depends on you.

Every electrolysis journey is different. The number of sessions you’ll need depends on things like:

• hair density and texture
• the area being treated
• previous hair removal methods (plucking, waxing, laser)
• how your skin heals between sessions

Some clients see big changes within a few weeks.

For full, permanent clearance, 1–2 years is completely normal ... because hair grows in cycles, and every follicle needs to be treated, sometimes more then once.

What matters most isn’t rushing.
It’s consistency.

Short, regular sessions done properly will always give better results than trying to do everything quickly.

That’s why we start with:
Free call → in-person consultation → a personalised plan designed around your skin and your life. No pressure. No upselling. You’re always in control.

And when you’re ready to understand what it might look like for you, then you can reach out to us via the website or message me directly 📩

Permanent means there’s a finish line... and I’ll guide you there, step by step steps 💞

So… does electrolysis hurt? Let’s be honest...

The short answer?

It really depends on you - your sensitivity, the area being treated, and the time of your cycle. And that’s completely normal.

Most clients find electrolysis very manageable.
The machine I use delivers a quick flash of heat, so the “zap” is over in seconds, which makes the treatment feel much easier and helps reduce skin reaction afterwards.

You might be a little red or slightly swollen straight after - that usually settles quickly.
If you’re ever uncomfortable, we can shorten sessions or use a numbing cream.There’s always an option.

What matters most is that you feel relaxed and supported. We can chat - and you’re always free to ask questions.

🩵 “We spend every session having a laugh – it takes my mind off it!.” CL

I’ll also talk you through aftercare so you know exactly how to look after your skin to avoid too much irritation. It makes a huge difference to healing.

If pain or downtime has been putting you off, save this post for later.

And if you want to talk it through properly, you can book a consultation or message me any questions! 💕

You don’t have to be nervous... I’ve got you 🙂

When unwanted facial hair becomes more than a nuisance!

If you’re constantly checking your chin.
If plucking has become part of your daily routine.
If it’s affecting how you feel about your skin, your confidence, or even how close you feel to other people…

You’re not being dramatic. And you’re definitely not alone.

For many of my clients, unwanted facial hair isn’t just about hair.

It’s the ingrowns.
The irritation.
The mental load of always managing it.

With electrolysis, that cycle slowly comes to an end.

Skin becomes calmer. Ingrowns reduce. And the constant “checking” starts to fade away.

When you come to see me, you’re listened to. We take things gently, especially around sensitive areas like the chin and upper lip. Your treatment plan is designed around your skin and how it heals ... no rushing, no pressure.

Your confidence is worth it 🤍

Laser treatment made it worse!

Electrolysis gave her, her life back 🥰

Ella* came to me after years of struggling with facial hair caused by polycystic ovaries.
She did everything she was advised to do - including 10 sessions of laser.

Instead of disappearing, the hair came back harder, thicker, and more noticeable.

Dark stubbly facial hair made her feel embarrassed, awkward and “not like a woman.”
On top of the shame she also didn’t feel she could talk to anyone about it.
With her confidence gone she withdrew into herself.

When I told her electrolysis could genuinely solve her problem, not just manage it, she cried. It was the first moment of real hope she’d had in years.

We worked together gently and consistently for 12 months, tailoring every session to keep her skin calm and slowly built her trust in the process.

The change from then to now has been phenomenal, and not only to her face

Her confidence is back!

She only pops in occasionally, and when she does she’s smiling.

💫No more daily shaving.
💫No more hiding.
💫No more dread.

Her own words say it all:
“It’s changed my life forever - a game changer for women with PCOS.”

If facial hair is taking your confidence away, especially if laser treatment has made things worse, you are not alone.

A simple consultation with me is the first step.
We can talk through your history, what’s been happening with your skin, and what’s actually possible.

Start your 2026 with confidence, because you deserve it 😍

Tried laser and the hair keeps returning?

A lot of clients come to me feeling confused or disappointed after laser. And there’s no shame in that, laser can reduce hair, but it doesn’t remove everything permanently.

In some cases, especially with hormonal conditions like PCOS or hirsutism, laser can actually stimulate more growth.

Electrolysis works differently.
It treats each hair follicle individually using heat (thermolysis), a chemical reaction (galvanic), or a blend of both. This damages/ destroys the hair follicle and the growth cells, giving you permanent results.

And unlike laser, it works on all hair colours and all skin tones, even very light or white hairs.

If you’re unsure what’s realistic for your hair and skin, I’m always happy to talk it through.

A free call is the best place to start.

Hoping you all had a very Merry Christmas!🎅🎄

Having a few days off with the kids and pup, way too much food and 🥂 will be consumed 🤣

See you back at My Electrolysis next week 😃🥰
