ELECTROLYSIS - PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL (PHR)
Electrolysis - Permanent Hair Removal
"Finally Say Goodbye to Unwanted Hair"
Unwanted hair can affect anyone and may be influenced by genetics, hormones, age, ethnicity, certain medical conditions, medications, or lifestyle factors. If you're looking for a truly permanent solution, electrolysis remains the gold standard.
At MediSkin Skin & Laser Clinic, we provide professional Electrolysis Permanent Hair Removal (PHR) using both the Blend Method and Diathermy (Thermolysis), allowing us to customise every treatment to your hair type, skin, and individual needs.
What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is the only clinically proven and approved method of permanent hair removal suitable for all hair colours, hair types, and skin tones.
Using a fine, sterile probe, each individual hair follicle is treated by delivering a carefully controlled electrical current directly into the follicle. This permanently destroys the stem cells responsible for producing new hair while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
At MediSkin, we utilise two advanced electrolysis modalities:
Which areas can be treated?
We can permanently remove unwanted hair from virtually any area of the face and body, including:
How many treatments will I need?
Hair grows in different cycles, and electrolysis is most effective when hairs are treated during their active growth phase.
Most clients require approximately 5–8 treatments, spaced every 2–6 weeks, although the exact number varies depending on:
What can I expect during the treatment?
You may experience a mild stinging or warming sensation as each follicle is treated. Most clients tolerate the procedure well, and topical numbing cream can be used for more sensitive areas if required.
Following treatment, it is normal to experience:
Occasionally, small pinpoint scabs or minor bruising may occur as part of the normal healing process. These should be left to heal naturally.
For optimal healing, we recommend avoiding excessive heat, vigorous exercise, swimming, direct sun exposure, and active skincare products for the first 24–48 hours. Daily SPF 30+ is essential when treating exposed areas.

At MediSkin, we utilise two advanced electrolysis modalities:
- Blend Method – combines galvanic (chemical) current with high-frequency current, making it particularly effective for coarse, distorted, deep, or previously tweezed hairs.
- Diathermy (Thermolysis) – uses high-frequency current to generate heat within the follicle, providing fast and effective treatment for most hair types.

We can permanently remove unwanted hair from virtually any area of the face and body, including:
- Upper lip
- Chin
- Jawline
- Cheeks
- Neck

DIATHERMY - ELECTROSURGERY
Diathermy Lesion Removal
"Safe & Effective Removal of Benign Skin Lesions and Blood Vessels"
Diathermy is a precise, non-surgical treatment that uses controlled electrical energy to safely remove a variety of benign skin lesions and visible blood vessels with minimal downtime.
A fine sterile probe delivers a small amount of heat directly into the lesion, coagulating or dehydrating the tissue while preserving the surrounding skin. The treated lesion then naturally dries, heals, and is gradually shed by the body's normal healing process.
Diathermy is a quick and highly effective treatment for many common skin concerns and is suitable for most skin types.
Conditions We Can TreatDiathermy can be used to treat:
Most treatments take between 15–45 minutes, depending on the number and size of the lesions.
Immediately after treatment, the area may appear slightly red or swollen, and a small protective crust may form. This is a normal part of the healing process. Most lesions naturally darken, dry, and fall away over the following days to weeks.
Some larger or deeper lesions may require more than one treatment to achieve the best cosmetic result.
Pricing
Single Lesion - from $70
Up to 5 Lesions - $140
More than 5 Lesions or Large Treatment Areas - $210
Important Information:
Diathermy is intended for benign (non-cancerous) skin lesions only. If a lesion is new, changing in size, colour or shape, bleeding, or appears suspicious, we recommend assessment by a Skin Cancer Clinic or your GP prior to treatment.
*We recommend obtaining clearance from a Skin Cancer Specialist, such as MoleMap or East Gippsland Skin Cancer Clinic, before the cosmetic removal of pigmented or uncertain lesions.
