ELECTROLYSIS (NEEDLE EPILATION)
Electrolysis is a precise method for the permanent removal of unwanted hair, regardless of hair color or skin type. A thin, sterile probe is inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle. A short electrical impulse specifically destroys the cells responsible for hair growth. The hair is then gently removed.
Since each hair is treated individually, needle epilation is particularly suitable for smaller areas, individual annoying hairs, as well as for light, white, gray, or red hair that does not respond sufficiently to laser treatment.
- Suitable for all hair colors and skin types
- Precise treatment of individual hairs
- Permanent removal of successfully treated hairs
| Particularly suitable for: | Light, white, gray, or red hair, individual unwanted hairs on the face and body, as well as remaining hairs after laser treatment |
| Side effect: | Temporary redness, slight swelling, or small pinpoint scabs possible |
| Effect: | A gradual, permanent reduction leading to hair-free results in the treated area. As the hairs are in different growth phases, several sessions at individually determined intervals are required |

Treatment procedure
Treatment procedure
At the beginning, the skin to be treated is carefully cleaned and disinfected. Subsequently, a very fine sterile probe is inserted along the hair shaft into the natural hair canal. A short, individually dosed electrical impulse cauterizes the growth-relevant cells of the hair follicle. The treated hair can then be removed from the follicle without any resistance. Finally, the skin is soothed and cared for.
