Electrolysis

Understanding this method of facial hair removal

Electrolysis destroys the cells responsible for hair regrowth. A very fine needle, connected to an electrocoagulator, delivers a current to the follicle to neutralize the root. Thanks to the latest equipment and, if necessary, local anesthetic, the session is better tolerated. Precision is essential. Facial electrolysis remains particularly useful for light, fine hair, especially in sensitive areas.

This treatment may not be suitable for certain darker or recently tanned skin tones and must be assessed during consultation.

When to consider electro-depilation (electrolysis)

Even if pulsed light or laser are faster on large surfaces, electrolysis is indicated for :

• white or very light hairs;
• rare and isolated hairs ;
• tanned skin or phototypes less suited to laser treatment;
• residual facial hair after other techniques.

For a customized solution in Montreal, our Montreal electrolysis service offers tailor-made support.

How does our cosmetic clinic do it?

After disinfection, the needle is introduced into the follicle; the current raises the temperature in the bulb to destroy it. The hair is then removed without excessive resistance. Our facial electrolysis service in Montreal is performed with precision and gentleness. Improvements are progressive and long-lasting, depending on the case; examples of results can be presented in consultation.

Advice from our cosmetics clinic:

• Before: the hair must be visible. Avoid tanning/UV for 4 weeks.
• During treatment: a sensation of heat may be felt.
• After treatment: avoid applying make-up or handling the area on the same day. 
• Protect skin from the sun (follow professional advice) and apply a soothing cream after waxing.
