Title: All-day electrolysis in the UK?
Post by: Padma on August 14, 2012, 02:55:45 AM
I keep reading about setups in the US where you can go and spend a whole day getting facial electrolysis done in one go, usually by more than one technician at once.

Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that you can get the same service? Since I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment anyway (so have more time to recover), it would really suit me to get this done faster.

Dr Curtis clinic in London

they are usually well booked but offer a similar service to E3 in Texas, there are many posts about it on uk based transforums like roses but i forget her name now a verry good operator though

Thanks, I didn't realise they did this. The "well booked up" thing isn't an issue, as the further away the appointment is, the cheaper my train tickets will be (I live 200 miles from London, but I have a railcard) :). I just need to find friends to stay with in London the night before, and I think I've got that covered.

I'm going to give the clinic a ring later today to find out about costs, as their "click here for prices" button isn't working.

Well, current price is £75 per hour. That sounds like a lot, until you realise that they can work a whole lot faster with anaesthetic used (plus it also covers the cost of the anaesthetic). So it actually works out not much more expensive than having the same amount of work done locally, and would save about 6 months! Of course, then more hair comes round in different cycles, so I'd have to save up to do this a few times, but I think I might actually do it, it'll really move things along.

on conversion it work out at about the same price of E3 also yes you save time and money because of the speed but ofcourse it is cycles but that will be the same wherever you go

I was considering going here for a long time maybe one time or two a year to top up my local work and it works out cheaper then traveling to Texas for me

I have a face full of grey hair, and my skin is so thin I can only shave every 2-3 days. Waiting the amount of time it would take to get it all done bit by bit is driving me crazy. So it's a good investment in my sanity. Plus, an excuse for a trip to London!
