Electrolysis advantages compared to other hair removal methods

Recommended

Electrolysis

At present there is no more effective way to deal with excess body hair — it irreversibly disrupts the growth of hair cells. Electrolysis destroys all types of hair, including ingrown hair, grey hair and vellus hair. The method is applicable to any skin type and any part of the body. Besides its effectiveness, you will be pleased with the price: electrolysis is considerably cheaper than similar high-tech treatments such as laser or photodynamic hair removal.

Unwanted hair will not disappear after one session — you will need several visits. The total number of sessions varies from person to person, depending on the hair growth cycle, heredity and hormonal background.

Disadvantages: painful sensations are almost always present, as with any method of hair removal except shaving. The degree of pain depends on individual pain threshold, and the speed of treatment is lower than other methods since each hair is processed separately.

Chemical depilation – creams, foams

Cream is fast and easy to use at home. However, chemical hair removal gives a short-lasting result — within about a week you may need to repeat the treatment. Ingrown hairs after depilating creams are a very common problem.

Biological hair removal – waxing, sugaring

A popular, inexpensive method. The disadvantages are pain, and the removal of vellus hairs, which can degenerate into dark and hard hairs — a problem that gets worse, not better, over time. Hair removed against the direction of growth can start growing under the skin, causing irritation and inflammation. Not recommended for people prone to allergic reactions or skin conditions, and specialists advise against using it on the face.

Laser and photodynamic hair removal

A very expensive method that must be repeated indefinitely. Because the technology is relatively new, side effects have not been studied thoroughly enough. It is significantly painful, cannot remove light vellus hair, requires avoiding tanning and sauna for up to two weeks afterward, and increases skin sensitivity.

Procedure

What is the electrolysis procedure?

During electrolysis, the hair follicle is destroyed under the influence of brief heating, caused by a short discharge of electric current. The current is delivered through a thin needle inserted in the direction of hair growth, without damaging surrounding tissue and minimizing pain. After the procedure, the treated skin is disinfected. A properly performed electrolysis procedure is completely safe, and an experienced electrologist will do everything possible to keep discomfort to a minimum.

Method effectiveness

Electrolysis has been effective for over 140 years. All this time it has been under the close attention of scientists and doctors, who have officially confirmed its effectiveness. But the strongest argument in its favor is the huge number of people who have solved the problem of unwanted hair growth with its help.

Safety of electrolysis

Electrolysis is strictly a salon treatment that must be carried out only by highly qualified professionals! No side effects have been recorded when the technique is followed correctly. Its safety is guaranteed by the newest antiseptic, sterilization and disinfection technology used in modern cosmetology.

Duration of the treatment course

Electrolysis must be repeated regularly over a period determined individually for each client. The main factors affecting the course duration are hair structure and density, as well as the treatment area. The approximate course duration for the chin area is 1.5–2 years; for the upper lip and eyebrows, about a year. 5–6 weeks after the first session, about 30% of removed hairs will grow back, along with the 5–7% that were in a resting phase. Repeat sessions significantly reduce, and eventually stop, unwanted hair growth.

Is it true that hair will never grow back?

Yes — after a full course of electrolysis, the hair truly never grows back. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes electrolysis as the only permanent hair removal procedure, with a lifetime effect. After each repeated session, hair regrows increasingly weaker and eventually stops appearing altogether, since the growth zone is destroyed and cannot recover. To achieve the desired results, it's essential to follow the schedule set by your specialist precisely.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is electrolysis a new method?

Definitely not. Electrolysis was first applied by the ophthalmologist Dr Charles Michel in 1875, to remove ingrown eyelashes. Since then a great deal of research has been done, and electrolysis has been proving its efficiency for 140 years.

02 Is electrolysis painful?

Some clients worry that the procedure can be too painful. It's important to remember that everyone has their own pain threshold — some find it uncomfortable, while others fall asleep during treatment. Sensations also depend on the equipment and the specialist's experience. At EpilPro Salon we use modern, high-tech professional equipment, and our specialist is a certified international-level cosmetologist-electrologist. We do everything to keep discomfort to a minimum, even in the most sensitive areas — the face, underarms and bikini zone.

03 What are the counter-indications to electrolysis?

As with any cosmetic procedure, electrolysis has its own limitations, which are important to know before deciding on the treatment. Counter-indications include: acute and chronic dermatological diseases, diabetes, varicose veins (at the treatment site), severe hypertension or coronary heart disease, keloid disease, malignant skin tumours, cardiovascular disease, common infectious diseases, inflammation of the lymph nodes, oncological disease, neuro-psychiatric disorders, an electrical pacemaker, epilepsy, and individual intolerance to electric current.

Girls under 16 must have parental consent for the procedure.

04 Will electrolysis work if hair growth is caused by hormonal disorders?

Yes — the effect is absolute even with hormonal imbalance. During treatment, the hair follicle itself, from which the hair grows, is destroyed. That's why only electrolysis can permanently remove hair whose growth is driven by hormones.

05 Epilation or depilation?

Depilation is removal of the visible hair shaft. Epilation is removal of the hair together with its root, damaging the follicle so that hair growth can eventually stop for good. Electrolysis is a safe method of radical hair removal that uses different types of electric current depending on the treatment area.

Electrolysis can be used on almost any part of the body: eyebrows, nose, cheeks, chin, neck, shoulders, upper lip, back, chest, stomach, arms, legs and the bikini zone. Removing hair from inside the nose or ear canal is recommended only after consulting a doctor.

06 Can electrolysis be used on any part of the body?

Yes — one of the method's main advantages is that it can be applied almost anywhere on the body, except the inner part of the ears and nose. It's even possible to remove hair from the mammary glands, since the soft tissue is not affected during the procedure.

07 Hirsutism: is medical treatment alone enough to get rid of unwanted hair?

No. If a doctor has prescribed hormonal treatment, it should be followed — but hormonal therapy will not make hair that has already grown fall out; it only stops new hair from being stimulated. Only electrolysis solves the problem of unwanted hair growth permanently.

08 How is the overall cost determined, and how long does treatment take?

The speed of hair removal depends on the treated area, the amount and coarseness of hair, and the previous removal method used. For example, one shin takes 2–5 hours for the initial (longest) session, costing €159–€393. After 3–4 weeks some hair regrows, taking about 1.5–3 hours to remove (€120–€237). After 4–6 months, only 1–1.5 hours a month is usually needed.

Upper-lip epilation usually takes 20–60 minutes. With each subsequent session the regrown hair becomes progressively weaker until it disappears.

09 What causes excessive hair growth?

There are many causes: genetics and heredity, hormonal background, certain medications, and various illnesses. Frequent use of temporary hair removal methods, which irritate the skin and increase blood circulation, can also contribute to excess hair growth.

10 What should I do with hair between sessions?

You may carefully trim hair on the treated areas, leaving about 2–4 mm for the specialist to work with. Plucking or other removal methods reduce the effectiveness of electrolysis.

11 How will my skin look after the treatment?

Right after the treatment there is mild swelling and redness, which disappears after 30–60 minutes. In some cases it may last longer, depending on individual skin sensitivity.

12 When will results become visible?

Although treatment is long — it can take around a year to a year and a half — progress is clearly visible after just 2–3 months.

13 Are there any risks of complications?

The risks include scarring, inflammation, burns, pustular processes and dyschromia. These can occur only if the procedure technique, hygiene requirements, or post-treatment skincare are not followed correctly. EpilPro Salon uses only high-quality equipment, approved fibers, and individual gloves. Skin regeneration takes 1–2 weeks; correct skincare helps avoid complications and speeds up recovery.

Skincare DON'Ts

Don't wash the treated area for at least twenty-four hours.
Don't use other hair removal methods on the treated area between electrolysis sessions.

Don't wash the treated area for at least twenty-four hours.
Don't use other hair removal methods on the treated area between electrolysis sessions.
Keep friction from clothing to a minimum.
For the first 3–4 days, don't apply cosmetics, perfume, hormonal creams, ointments or oils to the treated area — even if they're recommended for skin regeneration.
Don't take a hot bath for the first 3–4 days after treatment.
Avoid saunas, swimming pools and physical exercise to prevent heavy sweating; recovery of the skin may take 1–2 weeks.
Avoid solariums and sunbathing until the pink marks left by the treatment have fully disappeared.
Don't pick at the scabs that form after electrolysis — they must fall off naturally, or scarring may result.

Skincare after electrolysis

For a minimum of 3 days, treat the skin with calendula tincture or salicylic alcohol 4–5 times a day. Cutasept antiseptic may also be used.

For a minimum of 3 days, treat the skin with calendula tincture or salicylic alcohol 4–5 times a day. Cutasept antiseptic may also be used. Once dry, apply baby powder, preferably with zinc. For the first few days, don't use creams, ointments or oils on the area — this type of micro-burn heals only by drying out!

If redness lasts longer than 4 days, continue the recommended care until the marks disappear. On the electrologist's recommendation, after 1–2 weeks you can add Bepanthen, Bepanthen Plus, Panthenol (any form), zinc ointment (e.g. Cutisan), or Baneocin powder or ointment.

Dry-prone skin should be prepared before electrolysis: the day before, take a warm bath and gently exfoliate the treatment area — especially important for shins, knees, thighs, underarms, hands and face.

After electrolysis, skin may become slightly swollen and red — don't worry, this passes within a few hours. If skin is allergy-prone or sensitive, redness may last up to 1–2 days (a rare case).

On sunny days, use sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher if redness from the treatment is still visible and exposed to sun.

Reduce or avoid sugar and alcoholic drinks for 1–2 days before and 2 days after the procedure — high blood sugar slows skin regeneration.

If pigmentation appears, on the electrologist's recommendation you may use lemon juice (no earlier than 1 week after treatment), 3% hydrogen peroxide, or zinc ointment. Sodermix and Contractubex should only be used on the electrologist's instruction, and no earlier than 2 weeks after treatment.

Feedback

«I am doing brow correction and I'm really satisfied with the result. Within less than a year, almost no unwanted hair grows any more. Plucking my brows myself used to be difficult and painful because of poor eyesight, and though electrolysis isn't the most pleasant sensation, it's still far better than tweezers. Costs were higher only in the first 2 months (about €20 per session, every 2–3 weeks) — for the past half year I've come only once every 2 months for a 5–10 minute session.»

Elena

«Electrolysis really works! I was treating my legs, where hair had never grown before but started after marriage, probably due to hormonal changes. I was lucky — one session was enough to stop it growing back, likely because I'd never shaved or plucked that area. The result has lasted about half a year now. My only regret is not coming sooner. I'd recommend electrolysis over shaving, wax or creams without hesitation, and I'm now considering the bikini line next.»

Valeria

«I'd previously tried laser and then photodynamic treatment on my chin and upper lip with no real result — a lot of hair remained and some fair hairs turned dark. I finally decided to try electrolysis: one session a week for three months. The result is remarkable, and I no longer doubt its effectiveness. Both of my daughters have the same issue; one has been treated for three months with great satisfaction, while the other, who lives far away, can only come once a month.»

Marina

«It took me a long time to choose between laser and electrolysis — online reviews convinced me to go with electrolysis. I started with my underarms and I'm really happy with the results: almost half the hair was gone after just the first session. Four months on, only about 30% grows back, and those hairs are very thin and fair.»

Marika

«A huge thank-you to the specialist at the salon. My complexes about excess facial hair, which had bothered me for more than 30 years, are gone. It's been almost 8 months since I started treating my chin and upper lip, and only a few hairs return now compared to before. I'm now working on my brow line.»

Linda

«Amazing results! I'd had hormonal treatment before that improved my health, but the wiry hair it caused on my upper lip and chin didn't go away on its own. My chin is now completely clear, and I'm removing the remaining hair on my upper lip — tweezers are a thing of the past. I feel far more confident, and I'm very grateful to a true expert in her field.»

Nelly

«I decided to shape my brows with electrolysis, having never plucked them before. After 6 sessions I got exactly the shape I wanted, and no hair has grown back. I've read online that it usually takes at least a year to achieve the desired result — but I really have no complaints.»
