Definitive cheekbone hair removal for men

What is electrolysis hair removal?

Electric depilation is a method that works hair by hair. More tedious than laser hair removal, it nevertheless offers many undeniable advantages:

• The results are definitive; hair cannot grow back.
• Electrolysis acts where laser treatment is not or no longer effective.
• Electric hair removal is effective in areas at risk of paradoxical regrowth.
• It is not limited to dark hair and can treat white, blond, red or very light hair.
• It can be practised safely all year round (exposure to the sun is not a contraindication).

Electrolysis targets the hair with an electrical impulse. A fine, single-use needle is inserted into the hair follicle. An electric current completely destroys the hair and its root. This effect is called electrolysis.

Why use electric hair removal on the cheekbones?

Generally speaking, electric hair removal is preferred when the area does not have a good hair density. On the cheekbones, there is usually only a thin layer of down, which cannot be treated by laser without the risk of paradoxical regrowth. Electrolysis, on the other hand, is effective on the most stimulable hairs.

Electric hair removal is very effective on small areas such as cheekbones. It can also be used as a finishing touch to laser hair removal, if the hair on the cheekbones is dense.

How does electric cheekbone hair removal work?

Electrolysis hair removal is only effective on hair in the anagen or growth phase. Not all hairs are in the same phase at a given moment M. That’s why the treatment protocol always calls for several sessions, spaced two weeks to two months apart.
