Electric hair removal

General

Facial electric hair removal is ideal for permanently removing unwanted hair . Electric epilation can permanently remove up to 80% of facial hair. Electric hair removal is suitable for all hair colours. This also applies to blond, grey and red hair. During the treatment, a thin sterile disposable needle is pushed along the hair shaft into the skin. After this, the hair follicle and the surrounding area are destroyed by means of an electric shock. This ensures that no more nutrients reach the hair in the hair follicle via the blood and this stops growth.

Properties

Electric hair removal is particularly effective for unwanted hair on the face. The needle uses an electric shock to target and destroy the hair follicles, stopping hair growth . Almost all areas of the face can be treated. During the consultation, you can discuss the area of ​​your face you want to have hair removed with the practitioner.

Treatment information
