What is electrolysis?

Electrolysis is a proven and effective method for permanent hair removal. Unlike other temporary techniques like shaving or waxing, electrolysis targets each hair follicle individually with an electric current, destroying its ability to permanently produce hair. This method is suitable for all skin types and can be used on almost any part of the body, including the face, underarms, bikini line, and legs.

How does electrolysis work?

The electrolysis process involves inserting a thin metal probe into the hair follicle. An electric current is then applied to destroy the hair root.

Why choose electrolysis?

Electrolysis is the only hair removal method approved by the FDA for permanent hair removal. Here are some notable benefits:

• Permanent Results: Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis is suitable for all hair types, even the lightest or finest.

• Safe and Effective: Method without risk of depigmentation or burning.

• Adaptability: Suitable for all areas of the body, including the face.

• Sustainability : Permanently reduces hair growth after several sessions.

What to expect during an electrolysis session?

An electrolysis session can last from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Here's a typical procedure:

1. Initial consultation: Assessment of the area to be treated and definition of the treatment plan.

2. Skin preparation: Cleaning and application of anesthetic gel if necessary.

3. Application of the probe: Insertion of the probe into the follicle and application of electric current.

4. Post-treatment care: Application of a soothing gel to reduce redness and irritation.

How many sessions are needed?

The number of sessions depends on several factors, including:

• The density of the hair.

• The treated area.

• The hair growth cycle.

On average, it takes between 10 and 30 sessions to achieve optimal results. Sessions are generally spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to target hairs in the active growth phase.

Precautions and care after an electrolysis session

To maximize results and minimize irritation:

• Avoid the sun for 48 hours.

• Apply a soothing cream to reduce redness.

• Avoid strenuous activities that cause sweating.

• Do not scratch or touch the treated area to prevent infections.
