Advanced Electrolysis
Electrolysis is an advanced method of removing skin lesions such as skin tags, milia and spider Naevi as well as removing grey and fair hair.

Advanced Electrolysis is an effective way to remove a number of skin lesions such as skin tags, milia and solar keratosis, quickly and efficiently. Designed to rid you of your imperfections and boost your confidence, this treatment cauterises the lesion with an electrolysis needle and is compared to a quick small sting.
Hair Removal Electrolysis works by disrupting hair growth down in the hair follicle. This is done by conducting heat down a very fine needle using electricity. The heat cauterises the hair bulb preventing regrowth.
This is effective in fair and grey hairs which cannot be treated using laser hair removal.
It can be done for individual hairs and is therefore effective if the hair growth is spaced unevenly.
How it works
Advanced Electrolysis.
Skin tags are quite common and usually caused by friction are are just loose fibres tissue. Removal works by cauterising the connective tissue. This is done using every through an electrolysis needle. The excess tissue is removed and a small crust is usually left behind which heels within a few days. One treatment is often enough.
Seborrheic Keratosis is a benign skin lesion that can appear in various colours from light tan to black and are usually due to sun exposure and age. These are removed with an advanced electrolysis needle that cauterises the excess skin tissue in the lesion.
Milia are small, hard, round, white, nodules slightly raised above skin level. They are keratin-filled small cysts with are usually seen around the eyes. Milia is treated with the tiny electrolysis needling being inserted into the milia and the current applied. Often a popping sensation can be felt. The skin heels within a few days.
Hair Removal Electrolysis works by sending a current from a metal probe down each individual hair, a combination of this electrical current and a chemical reaction kills it at its root, thereby stopping any regrowth. This is ideal to treat any fair or grey hair which can’t be treated with our Laser Hair Removal.
Hair grows in cycles and not all hair follicles are in the growth stage at the same time. It is essential that the hair shaft is present in the hair follicle for the treatment to be successful, which means a course of treatments are required to ensure that all hairs are treated effectively.
The hair needs to be a minimum of 5mm in length from the skin for treatment. Please do not wax, pluck, or thread as this will remove the hair from the follicle that is being targeted.

Questions & Answers
Does It Hurt?
The electrical current being delivered into the skin or follicle can be felt, this is usually described as mild discomfort.
For Skin Treatments, excessive tissue is instantly removed and this area may be sensitive for a few hours. We will apply a balm where necessary.
For Hair Removal, we will carry out a test patch at the consultation to ensure your skin is suitable as well as the hair growth. We expect the skin to be flushed post treatment, this usually recedes within 24-48 hours. We will also provide an aftercare balm to use.
Can All Hair Colours Be Treated?
Yes. If your hair is dark, we would recommend Laser Hair Removal in the first instance. This will be quicker and more cost effective. We can then treat any remaining grey or fair hairs with Electrolysis.

I had two treatments today at the Vale Laser Clinic in St Athan, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The Buccal Massage was amazing highly recommend it and the Skin Tag removal was quick and painless. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcome and comfortable. The clinic is beautiful, spotless, and has such a relaxing atmosphere. Both treatments were carried out with great care and professionalism, and everything was explained clearly throughout. I felt completely at ease, and the results have exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and genuine care for clients really set this clinic apart. I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking for high-quality treatments and exceptional service. I'll definitely be returning for more treatments in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Emma is a very personable, knowledgeable profesional. The environment is fashionable with all the very latest technology to give excellent results. Wouldn’t go any where else.
A very pleasant experience today. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but everything was explained to me, which made me feel comfortable and relaxed...
Emma was lovely. So pleased to be finding a solution to something that’s bothered me for years! Thank you to Esther too!
Excellent service for long standing veruca problem, Emma is very personable and actually put me at ease even though she didn't sugar coat what to expect with the procedure, she was patient when I needed a break and was ready to proceed when I was ready. She is obviously very experienced. Also gave me excellent aftercare advice. Without a doubt I will be recommending to others. See you next month.
Charley is great - happy and chatty and did a great job on my brows
Great advice, Emma took her time to explain. Everything and provide a safe plan for treatment
Always a pleasure visiting Vale Laser clinic. I have been using the motus pro hair laser which is top of the range piece of kit. I have noticed a reduction in hair growth. I feel in safe hands with Emma and appreciate the advice and care given. The loyalty points system is a great bonus. Thank you for my Environ facial cleanser :). I would certainly recommend Vale Laser Clinic.
A wonderful therapist with knowledge and caring. I tried a wonderful new treatment today and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Friendly welcome and full advice given about the procedure
Lovely warm welcome from Emma, who put me at ease straight away. The Covid hygiene measures are very effective and did not adversely affect my visit at all. Emma is obviously very knowledgable and provided lots of information in a way that was easy to take in. No rush despite the appointment being late in the day. Looking forward to the treatment next week, and to trying out the new skincare! Thank you!
Emma great, lovely friendly clinic with a range of treatments, Would recommend to anyone.

I was welcomed straight away when entering the room which was lovely considering I’ve never been there before and the woman I had Emma was so lovely and explained everything up front and had a great sense of humour which made me feel less nervous about getting my tattoo removed! Looking forward to going back and having more treatments with them!

Hayley is really lovely, talked me through everything that she was doing and we had a nice chat during my treatment which helps put you at ease.

Absolutely amazing experience! I had some spider veins on my face that had been bothering me for months, and they were completely gone literally within seconds. Emma was fantastic—professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel totally at ease throughout the treatment. She knew exactly what was needed to address the blemishes, and the results exceeded my expectations. I’m already looking forward to coming back later this year for one of their skin rejuvenation treatments!
Great session once again! Emma is fabulous - very patient when listening & responding to any queries regarding the treatment. Thankyou!
5 star treatment. The treatment is astounding in its effectiveness. I would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a friendly, professional therapist. Thank you
Emma provided immediate treatment to relieve a very irritating problem. Cannot be faulted.
The process was explained clearly, and I was given plenty of opportunities to ask questions at the time and explained how to ask questions later on too. Patch test completed and first proper appointment booked in and all within 20 minutes.
My friend, Claire H, and I both had calming and rejuvenating LED facials at the Vale Laser Clinic 7th May 2025; from the outset we were met with highly professional, kind and courteous customer service from a highly trained therapist. Claire, who lives nearby had no idea before her impromptu visit, which I arranged on her behalf, just how large range of treatment options are at the Vale Laser Clinic. I have no doubt tgat after such a positive calming and rejuvenating experience that my friend will become a regular customer like 3 generations in my family already are, and have been for many years. I highly recommend all the therapists who work with Emma at the Vale Laser Clinic; this is a “hidden gem of tranquility and beauty therapy nestled in one of the most gorgeous communities in St. Athan, Vale of Glamorgan.” Very many thanjs/diolch in fawr go to Emma and her entire professiinal team of lovely ladies.
Excellent service, Emma explained the procedure in detail and the aftercare
Emma is was very professional and made me feel so relaxed at my consultation I can’t wait to have my first treatment with Emma. Very excited

I've had treaments with both Emma and Hayley. Both are easy to talk to and very knowledgeable, giving good advice and suggestions. Made me feel completely at ease. Can't wait to see the results of my on-going treatment!!
