What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is the only proven permanent form of hair removal.
It’s a progressive method of safely removing superfluous hair by
weakening the hair to eliminate re-growth. Electrolysis can treat
ALL skin types and ALL hair types, which no other hair removal
system can offer. There are three main treatment methods used
- diathermy, galvanic, and the blend method – used by many
salons, clinics and hospitals.
As manufacturers and suppliers: distributing to over 30
countries worldwide, we offer you a truly comprehensive range
of diathermy, galvanic and blend epilators, needles and a
complete range of after care products and services.
So if you are looking for the best quality electrolysis
products from a highly reputable supplier, then look no further

STEREX EPILATORS
Manufactured to the highest international standards and available
from distributors throughout the world, STEREX Epilators are
renowned for their quality, reliability and versatility.
They encompass the 3 recognised main electrolysis methods
of treatment:
1. The Short Wave Diathermy or Thermolysis method (STEREX
SX-T, SX-A and SX-B models) causes the water molecules
around the follicle to vibrate using alternating current to
produce heat, stopping the blood supply to the root,
weakening and eventually destroying the hair.
2. The Galvanic DC (Direct Current) method (STEREX SX-B and
SX-G models ) causes a chemical reaction in the salt and
water of the follicle, creating Sodium Hydroxide or Lye and
stops nourishment to the cells that causes hair growth.
SX-B Blend Epilator
3. The Blend method (STEREX SX-B) combines both Galvanic
and Thermolysis. This is the most effective method because
the lye is more efficient at weakening the hair when heated.
It’s also the quickest and most comfortable method. The SX-B
epilator offers use of all methods individually.
“Their expertise and their willingness to offer
technical support both for treatment questions
as well as for the machine itself has met our
expectations well.”

STEREX NEEDLE INFORMATION
World leaders in electrolysis needle manufacture, STEREX is a
number one choice of electrologists in salons, clinics and
hospitals around the world.
STEREX one-piece needle
While the STEREX two-piece needle leads the world for flexibility
and pinpoint accuracy, the STEREX one-piece needle also has its
own advantages.
We are proud to be the inventors of the most effective electrolysis
needle ever created – the STEREX two-piece needle, and there
are many good reasons why they are regarded so widely as the
very best.
The one-piece offers rigidity and robustness that is invaluable
with advanced electrolysis techniques needed when treating a
range of skin blemishes and conditions.
Why our two-piece needle is the number one choice
All STEREX needles are made from only the finest
quality materials.
The STEREX sterilised two-piece needle is the world leading
choice because of the exceptional degree of flexibility and feel or
‘follicle feedback’ that it provides. Quite literally, the needle will
flex if it meets any resistance, allowing the electrologist to
re-adjust the probing angle - A critical factor in effective and
safe treatment. Therefore with this amazing feedback ability it is
regarded as the “Teacher” of needles.
Of course personal preference and the type of treatment
required can affect the choice of needle. It’s why we offer
STEREX two-piece and one-piece needles.
