What is Sterex Electrolysis?
Sterex electrolysis is a highly specialised treatment designed for the permanent removal of unwanted hair and the effective reduction of certain skin blemishes. It is a professional-grade procedure performed using precision equipment developed by Sterex, a leader in electrolysis technology.
This method is carried out by trained practitioners using state-of-the-art devices to ensure safety and accuracy. As a versatile treatment, Sterex electrolysis is widely recognised for its role in cosmetic care, providing a clinically proven approach to addressing specific aesthetic concerns. It is a trusted solution offered in reputable clinics, delivering exceptional precision through its advanced techniques and specialised equipment.
How Does it Work?
The treatment works by targeting individual hair follicles using a fine probe inserted into the follicle. Once positioned, a controlled electrical current is applied to destroy the follicle, preventing it from producing new hair.
This is achieved through one of three modalities: galvanic electrolysis, which uses a chemical reaction; thermolysis, which generates heat; or the blend method, which combines both techniques. The precision of the probe ensures the treatment affects only the targeted follicle without damaging surrounding skin.
By disrupting the follicle’s ability to regenerate, Sterex electrolysis offers a highly effective method for addressing unwanted hair and certain skin concerns.

Duration & Sessions
The duration of Sterex electrolysis treatments varies depending on the size of the treatment area and the density of hair being targeted. Smaller areas like the upper lip may take as little as 15 minutes per session, while larger areas like the legs could require longer appointments.
For optimal results, multiple sessions are typically needed to address all hair growth cycles effectively. The exact number of treatments depends on the area and individual factors. During your consultation at Clinique Allure, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan to ensure each session is tailored to your unique needs and schedule.
Who is it Suitable for?
Sterex electrolysis is suitable for anyone seeking a reliable solution to unwanted hair, regardless of skin tone or hair type. It is particularly effective for those with fine, light, or grey hairs that are often resistant to other hair removal methods. The treatment is ideal for individuals who prefer a method free from laser or chemical-based approaches.
Whether you’re managing small, sensitive areas like the face or larger areas such as the legs, Sterex electrolysis offers precise treatment. It’s also a great option for those looking for a permanent hair removal method that accommodates unique hair growth patterns and preferences.
Results & Recovery
This treatment provides permanent hair removal by destroying the hair follicle, ensuring regrowth is prevented. Results are progressive, with noticeable improvements after a series of treatments as hair becomes finer and less frequent until it stops growing entirely. Recovery is straightforward, with minimal downtime.
After treatment, mild redness or slight swelling may occur, typically subsiding within a few hours. Proper aftercare, including avoiding excessive heat, sun exposure, and harsh skincare products, ensures optimal healing. Clients can expect smoother, hair-free skin with a natural appearance. For blemish treatments, results are visible shortly after the procedure, leaving skin clear and rejuvenated.
