Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal method approved by the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration). This method uses electrical current to eliminate the stem cells responsible for hair growth. Despite its proven track record, many people are unaware of its surprising benefits.

What are the key advantages of electrolysis hair removal?

Zero maintenance required after treatment is complete
Safe and effective for all skin and hair types, as well as all skin tones
Cost-effective over a lifetime compared to all other methods
Improves your confidence
Offers life-long freedom from unwanted hair

What are the key advantages of laser hair removal

What are the downsides of these two hair removal methods?

Electrolysis

Skin recovery period needed after treatment
Lengthy treatment time for large areas
Requires some commitment to achieve optimal results
Some clients may feel some level of discomfort

Laser hair removal

Temporary hair removal results
Repeated treatments required for life
Skin irritation
Ineffective for light-coloured hair, as well as hair growing on darker shades of skin
Side effects include skin breakdown, hyperpigmentation and loss of pigmentation
Stimulation of new hair growth

Who can get Galvanic Electrolysis?

Galvanic electrolysis is a hair removal method that is suitable for individuals of all sexes, ages, skin types and hair colours. This is because it directly targets the hair follicle, rather than the pigment in the hair, making it effective for everyone. Find out more information on our treatments page.

Electrolysis Next Steps

Here are a few of the most common questions answered on how you can get started on your journey to becoming hair-free for life. Do you have more questions? Give us a call today.

How do I start?

Getting started is simple! Simply follow these 3 easy steps:

Book your appointment: – Call 9221 8594 (CBD), 9719 1391 (Drummoyne) or use the ‘request a booking’ link at the top of the page.
Attend your consultation with our expert clinician and learn:
- How our galvanic multi-probe method works;
- How many hours of treatment you will need;
- Length of the treatment period;
- Length of each session;
- Length of time between treatments;
- Whether you will receive treatment with 16 or 32 probes;
Get started with your first treatment: You’re prepped, ready and excited, so get on your way to your new, hair-free life!

What are some tips for before my treatment?

Drink plenty of water. Well-hydrated skin can:

Make the treatment more comfortable;
Improve the conduction of the electrical currents used in treatment.

DON’T

Consume foods and drinks that will dehydrate your skin including chocolate, caffeine and alcohol for 24-hrs before treatment;
Use retinoids for at least 1-week prior to treatment;
Shave for 3 – 5 days prior to treatment;
Bleach your unwanted hair for at least a week before treatment;
Sunbathe for at least 48 hrs before treatment.

What are some tips for after my treatment?

Cool your skin using an ice pack. Some people experience slight swelling and/or redness after electrolysis treatment, and this is normal. It is best to first use an ice pack for up to 20 minutes, and then apply Melfol Calm Balm to the treated area to soothe the skin.
Tip: You can store Melfol Calm Balm in your fridge so that it provides an extra cooling effect on the skin. Apply it liberally to your skin in the evening and allow it to dry, and then rinse it off the next morning. Continue using Melfol Calm Balm in between your electrolysis treatments until your skin has completely healed.

DON’T

Avoid rubbing, scratching and over-touching the treated area during the first 24 hours post-treatment;
Never pick scabs: Removing a scab prematurely can cause scars and increase the risk of infection;
Avoid excessive sweating immediately after treatment, such as during workouts or visiting a sauna, since this can trigger a build-up of bacteria and infection.

If you must remove your hair between appointments, then it is best to shave or clip it.

How long do treatments last?

The length of electrolysis treatment sessions depends on hair growth density and the size of the area to be treated. Typically, an electrolysis treatment session can last from 15 minutes to one hour.

Does electrolysis treatment hurt?

The level of discomfort you feel will depend on the area being treated and your individual level of sensitivity and pain threshold. Our expert electrologists are trained to minimise discomfort felt during treatment. Get in touch with any questions!

What is the treatment cost?

At Permanence, treatments are charged at an hourly rate, with the hair density and area of concern being determining factors in the overall cost. At your free initial consultation, our expert staff will assess your areas of concern and provide information regarding treatment cost. Typically, longer treatments are more cost-effective and we also offer generous treatment packages.

What’s more, we will create an individual Permanence Treatment Plan tailored to your unique requirements. We also offer flexible scheduling and will make sure to follow a treatment schedule that suits your needs. You can be confident that from day one, you will know the estimated cost and length of treatment to achieve your goal. Click here to book your free consultation.

I used to be a regular at this clinic, spent over 2k+ , what started as great customer service ended in disgust.This is the first negative review i ever give a Business.Greedy !!!Got angry when i postponed my appointment the morning before the scheduled appointment.Hairs hadn’t come through enough.Clinic wanted to take my credit card details to charge the treatment.Very greedy, and nasty when it comes to changing appointments.I will be going somewhere else, that appreciates regular clients!

I have PCO and have had problems with excess hair growth my whole life. I struggled with hair on my face and particular my chin, side of face, upper lip and neck area. I mistakenly did a few rounds of laser on my chin and neck, what I didn’t know was that laser can increase hair growth. I ended up with excessive amounts of hair growth on my neck where I didn’t have a big problem before. The hair was dark but thin and very long. I chanced upon Permanence one day while driving past and thought I would at least give it a go. Now this was the best decision I made. I’ll admit I had a lot of hair and it took many treatments – 2hours sessions every few weeks for a year, and I won’t lie to you it hurts. But it did work, the long hair on my neck is gone and on my chin and side of face has been reduce to just small white fluff (which I can totally live with). I’m no longer self-concise of people looking at my hairy face I can actually look people in the eyes and not feel terrible with myself. As my condition effects my hair growth I still get some dark hairs on my chin and upper lip which I still need some treatments for. Richard has been great through it all and I would 100% recommend him for your treatment.

Sharia Clay

I’ve done 2 treatments on my chin and so far I’ve seen amazing results. The hair on my chin was very coarse and didn’t respond well to laser treatments. I can honestly say that I’m amazed after just 2 treatments. Gemma has done an amazing job thus far.

Lauren N

1570325764

The best decision I have made - the results are amazing. The staff at Permanence have been extremely professional and the consultation was very thorough. I have referred a number of friends and they all agree this is something that they should have looked into a long time ago.

I've been treated by Richard over the years for different areas and can swear by it. The hair removal works unlike laser and it is not painful if you use the numbing cream. I've recommended it to many friends and now my husband will ne doing it. Thank you!Angelica F

This place is fantastic I hadn’t been for years because they cleared it all off and I just needed some maintenance I use to have Monica who has left but Mania was great just as good. Over the years they have consistently been dedicated to this trade and uphold quality services. Highly recommended.

Sam S

I highly recommend Mania to anyone seeking a supportive and knowledgeable therapist. She is a true professional and a credit in her field. The consultation was full of information and very clear,About electrolysis treatment... it's the best solution to be hair free forever, no waxing no threading no tweezers in my pocket anymore. Looking forward to continue this treatment... and enjoy my smoothskin.

Maddie Hermann

I'm really satisfied with the results and service here. I've been going for a year and a half and I'm so happy that I'm close to having all my hair permanently gone. I didn't have any surprises - results were as expected. I've seen most of the electrologists here and they've all been skilled and friendly.I'm glad I went straight to electrolysis instead of spending time trying laser first and seeing if it would be effective. I wanted my hair permanently gone sooner rather than later, and electrolysis is the best for guaranteeing that it's gone forever.

Liana Ghazarossian

1713670343

Best investment I've ever done in terms of hair removal after years of doing laser and all other kinds of "solutions". Laser actually made it worse as the hair growth spread to areas I had no hair on my face.I'm lucky to have been referred to Noreen's unique and effective hair removal solution. I started doing galvanic electrolysis with Permanence 4 years ago then stopped for a couple of years because of covid and maternity reasons. I went back to it recently and believe it or not, the same hair that was removed once 4 years ago never came back which made it more exciting for me to finish off what we had started. I'm almost done with my face now and it already looks completely hairless. No more breakouts or ingrown thick hair either!I would recommend this technique specifically at Permanence to anyone wanting to get rid of unwanted hair especially those with hormonal problems.Noriko has been working on me since I got back and she's absolutely amazing!She's very mindful and caring towards the needs of her clients. She has helped me feel so comfortable during long treatments having in mind my anxiety.If I could give more stars than 5, I would. I wish I had the opportunity to do this growing up but it's never too late and it's money well spent for sure.

If I could give 10 stars I would! I want to extend a huge thank you to Mania and the crew at Permanence who have changed my life.I have PCOS and for 12 years I had thick, coarse, dark hair all over my face starting from when I was 17. I tried 2 different hormone balancing pills but nothing got rid of the hair, it was just too stubborn. I tried facial waxing which would regrow overnight, epilating (ouch) every day, but nothing would be a solution for more than 24 hours, all that pain for nothing. So I went years shaving THREE TIMES a day (yet with still noticeable black hair growth that I could never shave down) with thick make-up to cover the shaving bumps/black growth.So 8 months ago I decided to give electrolysis a try as a last resort - and it was the most life-changing best decision I made!I was booked with Mania who I feel blessed to have been paired with as she was, and has always remained, polite, professional, personable and knowledgeable, and I have always felt comfortable with her after putting me at ease during my first appointment where I revealed the extent of my facial hair. I felt no judgment from her or anyone at Permanence, only professional consideration and respect. I want to give 1000 thank yous to Mania and the team who have always treated me with dignity.I read all over the internet how painful electrolysis is - it is NOT that painful! If you have ever epilated your face THAT is worse! And I was amazed when my hair just DIDN'T GROW BACK on the treated areas after my whole adult life expecting regrowth within 24 hours. I kept waiting for the ball to drop and the hair to regrow even after months, but it didn’t, nothing, no hair growth after just one treatment on the area!I wish I had done this 12 years ago. But 8 months later I am up to the point in my electrolysis journey that I need to only have touch-up sessions once every 6-8 weeks.I am looking forward to my face being PERMANENTLY hair-free.P.S. Get the calm-balmP.P.S. Ask for the stress balls

Permanence how amazing to find a place that offers true permanent hair removal without any excuses of why i still have hair. I thought I would always have to deal with my problem at some level.

The service as Permanence CBD is absolutely amazing, I started coming here over 2 years ago for hair removal and the treated hairs have never come back! I've been a regular client of Maria and Monica and they are both incredible, very skilled, great at your jobs, and so friendly that it is always a delight to see them. I definitely recommend this place for permanent hair removal 🙂

I have dark skin and dark hair, so hair removal was always going to be an issue, and I was worried about trying something that didn't work or made it worse, so I was lucky to stumble across Permanence when I did. I'm on a mission to be completely hair free forever, and I'm happy to say, I'm on my way! Once the hair has been treated, it doesn't come back. I haven't had any regrowth on my underarms that I had treated years ago. The staff are always professional and make you feel comfortable and at ease. I couldn't be any happier with my outcome. Thank you!

Geoff Jende

I was anxious thinking about getting this treatment, before plucking up the courage and finally going along. But I must say I wish I had realised sooner how friendly, understanding, warm and professional the staff would turn out to be! They were highly skilled and professional at all times, and as a result I quickly found myself very relaxed and comfortable with my hair removal procedure. And the results have been excellent. Thanks so much Noreen, Louis and staff, I am thrilled with the results and cannot thank you all enough. I highly recommend your service.Now nearly three years later, I just wanted to say how great it has been to be completely hair free in the treated area. I am thrilled, and it was the best money I spent. I have referred two friends since my treatment and they are equally thrilled with their results. Thank you for your professionalism and excellence!

Jessica Mazon

I have had four 90 minute sessions after a bad experience with laser. I thought I’d cracked the code with cheap laser appointments but I stopped for four months and the hair came back with a vengeance (not everywhere—I’ve had good results on my legs, bikini and underarms—but specifically on my face). Apparently this is common enough that Noreen was not surprised. If this has been your experience, I highly recommend stopping in for a consultation. I didn’t need to be 100% hair free but I did want to get rid of the dark, coarse hairs. Every appointment was a breeze. There is definitely some discomfort but I didn’t feel like it was worse than the initial laser treatment on virgin hair. I had sessions with Noreen, Nikki and Emeris and found myself enjoying their company for 90 minutes as much as the end result. The results definitely make you want to come back again and again. Hopefully someone else will find this helpful.

Noreen is a inspirational woman and has created this amazing clinic that changes lives. Having PCOS and unwanted hair I thought there wasn’t an end, after endless laser hair removal that didn’t ever work, I am so glad I was recommended permanence by a friend. I had the pleasure to meet Noreen and was treated by her, I listened to her story and honestly it made my evening. She’s the kindness woman that genuinely cares and has the best interests in her clients. Thank you Noreen for your amazing work and dedication.

Permanence does what it claims. Its permanent hair removal. The treated hair did not come back for me. I feel confident and beautiful as the unwanted hair are gone. No scars, no marks, just amazing skin. You just have to be patient with the recovery time that the skin needs in between the sessions.The team is very well trained, skilled and amazing at their job. I have had my sessions with Tiffany, Louise, Nigina and Noreen and they all are exceptional with their craft. I mostly have sessions with Tiffany and she is a delight. She always puts her client’s comfort first. We talk so much but she is so focused and skilled at her job that I don’t even realise when the time goes by and the session is over. She is an amazing person at heart.Cannot thank Noreen enough for changing so many lives by setting up Permanence and also for sharing her knowledge with the healthcare providers overseas. A big THANK YOU for everything that you do!!! 😊

I've been going to Hair Permanence from early 2015 to late 2019. They are truly like a family and make their clients feel immediately @ home! Noreen, the owner is inspiring and started the business due to her own issues with hair removal. I think like most women, hair removal has always been a hassle - for me - to schedule appointments and maintain my appearance, also. I have fair skin, but dark hair, all over.For the four years that I'd been going there, I've had my face worked on. I love my face now and as I promised Noreen during one of my frequent visits, I said I'll say in my testimonial - I'm not a supermodel, but I feel like one!! I'm so happy with my face - I've had my upper lip, chin, nose, sides, cheeks and forehead done - basically my whole face. Louis is a professional and has been with me every step most of the way. I'm almost sad to have to not go there as regularly as I've been.Initially, the therapist will discuss what you want done and formulate a treatment plan with you. You will get the results that you desire and it's better than laser!! What prompted me to go to Hair Permanence were my peers. They were all talking about hair removal with laser @ the time.. then I researched the best and most effective method. Hair Permanence is the BEST and ONLY business and method out there. After waxing for so long.. I was ready for something more permanent.. I've got news for you.. laser is NOT permanent.Hair Permanence is.. Yes, it's a huge investment in time.. but get this.. you'll never have to go back once the area you need to be treated is treated!! Woo Hoo!! What a great business and a service to people like you and me, who've always grappled with excess hair.. or just simply hair where you don't want it to be.Lovin' It! I'll always be forever grateful.. to Noreen, Louis and Hair Permanence. Oh - and when you weigh it all up - the cost does justify the service.

A great clinic with a permanent hair removal service that truly works!I was skeptical at the beginning because I wasn't sure that hair removal could be permanent (I know laser is not). But I've been hair free since my last visit. The hairs don't grow back because Permanence's method kills the hair's stem cells. It even worked on my blonde hairs - something that can only be achieved with their electrolysis method. The staff are also very friendly - people you can be completely comfortable with. I'd recommend the service to anyone looking to achieve permanent hair removal, especially PCOS women.

Thomas Cripps is my name. I am 65 yoa. For a few years I have had intermittent visits to Permanence to have unwanted hair removed. Thank you to Noreen and the crew for a wonderful job, my partner wishes I had it done years before as she says it is so nice to not cuddle a woolie bullie. I must apologise for falling to sleep during the proceedure, as I know I can snore fairly loud (lol).Again, thank youTommy.

I would like to highly recommend the Permanence Sydney City clinic for professional and effective electrolysis hair removal.I have recently completed an almost two year consult to remove a full ginger/white beard at a cost of approximate $12,000. I have been Trans for over twenty years and during that time my hair removal regime was waxing my face weekly. Over this two-year cycle I was treated by Louis one of the senior clinicians at the business. I found Louis to be the ultimate professional, patient and caring in his approach. He kept me fully informed of the progress and his communication was both helpful and honest.In general this treatment is uncomfortable and painful, but Louis is fully aware of this always and did his best to help me manage the discomfort. For the most painful areas around the mouth, the clinic was able to arrange a pre-treatment visit to a local dentist for a dental block.Of course, for us Trans women, this kind of ‘project’ is time consuming, painful and expensive. But the result is completely freeing, improves confidence and adds considerably to a successful transition - my thanks to all at Permanence.

Writing this because I have been a client of Permanence for nearly 6 years and have learnt a lot along the way! Hoping this will help someone! I can honestly say this treatment has changed my life. I never thought permanent, safe hair removal was possible. All staff are extremely professional, skilled, hygienic, accommodating and attentive. I've had a variety of staff work on me and all are exceptional. I have never experienced any abnormal side effects. Healing is different person to person, I typically experience the regular, safe redness, swelling and scabs - which all calms down within a few days. After 48 hours everything calms down a lot. Ice a lot for the first two days and thickly lather the Witch Hazel and Calm Balm cream on, don't apply anything else if you can avoid it - esp for at least 12hrs - and keep your body cool. Calm Balm is an amazing cream. I've experimented with other oils/aleo vera/serums over time and honestly don't waste your time. Calm Balm is queen. Icing straight after is key. I ice for at least 1-2 hours after. My scabs take about 7-14 days to completely dissapear. Depends on the area and my healing is slightly different every time. I am very careful with my skin for several days after treatments which really helps - gentle, chemical-free all natural skincare products/cream cleansers/no sun/no excersise/keeping cool/regularly using the Witch Hazel & Calm Balm/Using the Witch Hazel straight after if I accidentally touch my skin to avoid infection (it's anti-viral and anti-inflammatory) staying hydrated/eating really clean/icing for several days/chemical free makeup. You want to keep your skin clean and use the Witch Hazel to avoid pimples - caused by infection. I only use cool water on the area - heat just makes it react. I drink a lot of water the day before, of, and after the treatment which helps my skin healing so much and makes my treatment less-reactive. Also, avoiding stimulants (especially coffee) on the day of treatment really helps lessen the pain. Make sure you have a good sleep the night before! I've been really sleep-deprived before a treatment and the pain was 5 times worse! I regularly take vitamin c, zinc and collagen which also aids my skin healing. Of course - this is all my own experience. Won't be the same for everyone. For me, it's a very small price to pay for the results and it's certainly worth it. Can't recommend this treatment and place enough

Another wonderfully successful treatment today- thanks Tiff! A big thanks for Kim for understanding that my train was delayed and to work with me to make sure I still got the full time for my treatment. The most hygienic electrolysis location I’ve been to- they really go to lengths to make sure everything is clean. So easy to get to by train. Very understanding and provide great advice to help meet your hair removal goals. Highly recommend!!

I am so thankful to Noreen (owner of Permanence) for dedicating her life to permanent hair removal in a safe and PERMANENT way. My hair removal journey has been extremely emotional. When I was 19 years old I had beautiful skin until one day I woke up and the light hairs on my face had turned black (I looked like a had a beard). As I was young, I booked in laser hair removal straight away which temporarily removed the hair but also caused severe, boil-like acne. I have achieved more in 5 sessions with Noreen using the galvanic electrolysis method than I did in 7 years worth of laser hair removal. I've now realised that laser not only didn't remove the hair permanently but it caused more hair to grow on other areas of my face. From the moment I emailed Noreen, she understood my situation and booked a consultation to delve deeper into my hair 'issue'. She explained the electrolysis process and could answer any questions I had in detail without any pressure to book in. This made me feel extremely comfortable as her experience far outweighs anyone else in the electrolysis' business. Noreen was amazing from the first second I met her, so transparent and her interest in permanent hair removal radiates from her. The staff at Permanence are so beautiful and make you feel comfortable and well looked after regardless if they are treating you or not. What I also love about Permanence is the care and consideration they give to cleanliness. I wouldn't let just anybody put probes into my face but I most definitely trust Permanence. Thank you for completely changing my life and bringing me back my confidence. Love from a now permanently hairless customer. xxx

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while. This place and the staff (Noreen, Louis and Monica) changed my life. If you’re reading this, what you need to understand is this is not like laser but this most definitely is PERMANENT. I’ve had over 100 hours so I should know 🙂 you’re charged in hours for treatment as the probes are put into the hair follicles and the electro current kills them. For good! What you also need to understand is this process needs commitment and trust with the staff. You need to complete the hours they recommend to achieve the result. It doesn’t happen overnight, again many people will go in with an expectation of laser zapping hairs away immediately, this is a quality long lasting process that requires more attention and time. I was a mess when I turned up at that clinic, crying as I’d suffered from unwanted hair growth my whole life and laser had actually made it worse. It had got to the point that I was anxious and paranoid about being around people. If you’ve had this, you know the feeling. Anyway they supported me, not just doing the treatments but the staff emotionally supported me and it felt amazing to go there and trust them. And to just talk about it for once as I’d spent life to date hiding it. Noreen deserves more credit for the technology she’s engineered (the electrolysis machine) and what she’s done for the industry. Yes the method has been around for decades but she’s invested in developing machines that will kill the hair during any stage of growth. So ignore anything you’ve heard of when it comes to ‘electrolysis being ineffective but costly’, yes this is more expensive than laser. And yes for me laser was cheap and provided more of an instant result. But long term, it also stripped the pigment from my skin and ended up stimulating more hair growth which eventually came through. You get what you pay for! Anyway I wish I could say more about this place. I think it’s amazing and I have a lot of respect/love for everyone that works here

Client Stories

Sally was diagnosed with PCOS in her teens, which resulted in course dark hair growth on her face and neck. Having tried many methods that failed, in her 20s she started to secretly shave her face every day. Upon discovering Permanence, she started her treatment plan and saw results immediately. Today, Sally enjoys her newfound freedom and confidence, and describes the emotional impact of not having unwanted hair anymore as “priceless”.

Sally's Story

The hair on my face is not something I consider a problem anymore, and the emotional impact of that is priceless.

I am so thankful for the skill, kindness, and support of Noreen and all the clinicians at Permanence City.
