Électro-épilation (Électrolyse)

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.

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.

Advantages of electrolysis

• Effective on stubborn hairs or those resistant to other methods.
• High precision, especially on the face and delicate areas.

‍

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.
• Side effects: possible redness or small scabs, usually transient with well-managed electrolysis.

The results you can expect from our cosmetic clinic:

Number of sessions: several appointments may be necessary due to the hair cycle. With patience and the right protocol, results are generally very satisfactory. Our expertise in electrolysis hair removal in Montreal enables us to tailor each session to the skin and hair type to optimize effectiveness. Facial electrolysis is particularly recommended when other methods fail to deliver the desired results.
