After my terrible electrolysis experience, I did extensive research to find out why my treatment was so painful. I have a found that extremely painful treatment is usually caused by poor technique and/or poor equipment.

Using an electrologist with a newer, safer machine means that your treatment times will be shorter, more efficient and more comfortable.

  • What do BIAE do to ensure that BIAE members use the most up-to-date electrolysis technology?
  • Why do members who are using old machines seem to charge market-rate prices for their services considering they have failed to invest in newer technology?
  • If you were getting treatment, which machine would you want your electrologist to use?


Whilst conducting my own research, I have found that some ex-BIAE members and former clients of BIAE members have publicly posted on HairTell (an electrolysis forum) that BIAE is reluctant to adopt newer, safer technology and evolve their techniques.


  • What would electrolysis in the UK look like if BIAE had never existed?
  • What would electrolysis in the UK look like if BIAE actually functioned as a professional body and did what they claim to?
  • Is BIAE stifling the progress of electrology in the UK?
