Professional Electrolysis Training | Permanent Hair Removal Qualification | Beautorium Training Academy
Develop specialist skills in permanent hair removal with the VTCT (ITEC) Level 3 Diploma in Epilation at Beautorium Training Academy, Waterford.
This internationally recognised qualification provides the theoretical knowledge, practical training and professional skills required to perform electrolysis hair removal treatments safely and effectively.
Designed for qualified beauty therapists wishing to progress into advanced hair removal, our ITEC Electrolysis Course covers the three principal electrolysis techniques: Short Wave Diathermy (Thermolysis), Galvanic Electrolysis and the Blend Method.
Through a combination of theoretical learning and supervised practical training, students develop the technical skills, consultation knowledge and professional confidence needed to offer permanent hair removal services in a salon, skincare clinic or specialist electrolysis practice.
Electrolysis is a professional hair removal treatment that uses a fine, sterile probe inserted into the natural opening of an individual hair follicle.
A controlled electrical current is delivered to target the follicle's hair-producing structures, helping to prevent future hair growth.
Unlike laser and IPL hair removal, electrolysis can be used on a wide range of hair colours, including blonde, grey, white and red hair, making it a valuable option for clients whose hair may not respond effectively to light-based hair removal.
Electrolysis is recognised as a method of permanent hair removal, although multiple treatments are generally required because hair grows in cycles and individual follicles may need repeated treatment.
Develop the practical skills required to perform the three principal methods of electrolysis.
Short Wave Diathermy (Thermolysis)
Learn how high-frequency electrical energy produces heat within the follicle to target the structures responsible for hair growth.
Galvanic Electrolysis
Understand how direct electrical current produces a chemical reaction within the follicle to target hair-producing tissue.
Blend Electrolysis
Learn how galvanic and high-frequency currents can be combined within one treatment, allowing techniques to be adapted to individual hair and follicle characteristics.
Training includes:
Professional probe selection and insertion techniques
Understanding treatment settings and electrical currents
Correct treatment positioning and technique
Assessing hair characteristics and follicle suitability
Adapting electrolysis methods to individual client needs
Effective hair release and treatment monitoring
Developing safe, professional treatment routines
Build the theoretical knowledge required for professional electrolysis practice, including:
Skin anatomy and physiology
Hair structure and follicle anatomy
Hair growth cycles and factors influencing hair growth
Electrical science relevant to electrolysis
The principles of thermolysis, galvanic and blend techniques
Treatment indications, contraindications and precautions
Factors influencing treatment effectiveness
Learn how to assess clients professionally and develop appropriate treatment plans, including:
Client consultation and medical history
Identifying contraindications and treatment limitations
Assessing skin and hair characteristics
Managing client expectations
Explaining treatment frequency and progression
Informed consent and record keeping
Professional aftercare and homecare advice
Develop essential knowledge of safe electrolysis procedures, including:
Infection prevention and control
Sterile, single-use probe procedures
Safe operation and maintenance of electrolysis equipment
Electrical safety
Skin protection and treatment precautions
Recognising and responding to adverse skin reactions
Professional hygiene and treatment-room preparation
At Beautorium Training Academy, we place a strong emphasis on practical competence, precision and professional treatment standards.
Students receive tutor-led demonstrations and supervised practical training, allowing them to develop their probe insertion skills, treatment techniques and understanding of different electrolysis methods.
Our approach combines essential theory with practical experience to help learners develop the professional judgement and technical skills required for electrolysis treatments.
Practical model and assessment requirements will be confirmed as part of the course information.

Qualified beauty therapists wishing to specialise in permanent hair removal
Beauty professionals looking to progress into advanced treatments
