Best Electrolysis Hair Removal near me in Smarves, Poitiers

Complete permanent hair removal requires multiple sessions, as follicles are treated during their active growth phase. Most areas require 8–18 sessions or more over several months. Your electrologist will give a personalised estimate at your consultation.

Most people describe a mild stinging or warmth sensation during electrolysis. The feeling varies depending on the area being treated and individual sensitivity. Topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment to reduce discomfort.

A typical session lasts between 15-60 minutes, but the length of time depends on whether the hair is coarse, in-grown or has deeper follicles. It also depends on the area being treated, and the quantity being removed. Your technician should be able to factor this in and give you a more precise timeframe.

Your practitioner should advise you on aftercare, but you’ll be encouraged to sterilize and soothe your skin with aloe vera, diluted tea tree oil or something similar; and to apply a cold compress to reduce inflammation. Pain relief can be taken if you continue to experience discomfort. You should also avoid the sun, swimming pools, rubbing, scratching and over-touching the treated area immediately after the treatment, and steer clear of make-up, exercise, alcohol-based skin products, and waxing, too. Ask your electrolysis technician to explain in detail what you should and shouldn’t do post treatment.
