What is electrolysis hair removal?
Electrolysis is a precise and permanent method of removing unwanted hair. It is often preferred when treating specific areas or hair that is resistant to other hair removal methods.
The principle of electrolysis
Electrolysis is based on the use of a sterile needle inserted into the hair follicle. An electrical impulse is then delivered to destroy the hair bulb. This method can use different techniques such as thermolysis (high frequency) or blending (combination of thermolysis and electrolysis with voltage).
This technique is distinguished by its effectiveness on all types of hair and skin. Each session is tailored to hair density and resistance. A sophisticated electrical device allows precise adjustment of frequency and voltage, ensuring long-lasting hair removal.
When should electric hair removal be used on women?
Electrolysis hair removal is particularly indicated in certain cases where laser hair removal is not as effective. For example, it’s ideal for light, red or gray hairs, which absorb laser energy less well.
For small areas such as the face, electrolysis delivers surgical precision. What’s more, this method makes it possible to treat areas where paradoxical regrowth would otherwise occur with laser treatment.
Finally, electrolysis is often the solution for residual hair after several laser sessions. At Epilium & Skin Paris, we use this technique to offer a complementary and effective method of permanent hair removal.

Advantages and disadvantages of electric hair removal for women
When considering electrolysis hair removal, it’s essential to weigh up the positive and negative aspects. This technique can offer definitive and effective results, but also entails potential risks that need to be taken into account.
Effectiveness and final results
Electrolysis is a proven method for permanent hair removal. By destroying the hair bulb with an electric current, this technique prevents hair regrowth. You’ll benefit from a lasting solution after several sessions.
At Epilium & Skin Paris, we use the most advanced technologies. Each session is customized to your skin and hair type to maximize results while minimizing discomfort. Although some may experience slight pain during the session, anaesthetic creams are available to provide optimum comfort.
Potential side effects
Despite its many advantages, electrolysis does have some potential side effects. You may experience redness, swelling or even scabbing in the treated areas. These symptoms are temporary and can be alleviated with post-treatment soothing creams.
Important considerations before proceeding
Before starting electrolysis hair removal, it’s crucial to take certain considerations into account to ensure that the procedure is adapted to your medical profile and that the choice of practitioner is made with discernment.
Contraindications to electrolysis hair removal
Certain medical conditions may make electrolysis hair removal unsuitable for some patients. For example, diabetic patients may be more prone to infections and scarring disorders, requiring extra attention. Individuals with heart disease or metal implants should not use this form of hair removal.
People with inflammatory skin or common dermatological problems such as eczema or psoriasis also need to be vigilant. Pregnant or breast-feeding women are generally advised not to undergo this procedure, due to hormonal changes.
Choice of practitioner and safety criteria
Choosing a qualified practitioner is essential for safe and effective hair removal. Opt for an experienced professional, preferably a dermatologist or aesthetic physician, who uses approved equipment. High frequency is often used in modern devices to guarantee optimal results and minimize side effects.
Make sure the practitioner uses a sterile handpiece and single-use needles for each session. Also check the practice’s safety protocols, including environmental hygiene and infection risk management. You can ask for references or reviews from previous patients to reassure yourself of the practitioner’s competence.

Wassila Benaziza
I had my first electrolysis session on my chin today and I can’t tell you how satisfied I am with it. I’d recommend this institute, a very pleasant person who even made you forget this slightly unpleasant moment (yes, it’s tingling all the same). I can’t wait to go back and see the first results 🤞
Jessy Perreira
I’ve been a patient at this center for 10 years, and the kindness, support and follow-up provided by the professionals are to be commended! I highly recommend the laser (follow-up and test beforehand), and it turns out that I have nothing to say about my underarms, legs and bikini line, which I’m continuing to treat electrically. I highly recommend it!

Post-treatment advice and maintenance
To optimize the effects of your electrolysis hair removal session and protect your skin, it is crucial to follow specific advice:
- After your electrolysis session, it’s important to take care of your skin to promote proper healing. You can expect some redness and light crusting around the treated areas. Apply a healing cream to help heal and reduce inflammation.
- Avoid exposure to the sun for at least 48 hours after treatment. Wear loose-fitting clothing to minimize chafing and irritation. Moisturize your skin with a soothing cream and avoid using harsh or alcoholic products.
- The use of an anesthetic cream may be considered if you experience significant discomfort. Don’t scrape off the scabs; let them fall off naturally to avoid the risk of scarring.
Follow your specialist’s recommendations to adjust your skin care regimen according to your skin and the reaction of your hair follicles. Every skin reacts differently, so a personalized approach is essential to optimize your results.
