Best Electrolysis Hair Removal near me in Berthenay, Tours

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.

Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal. A fine probe is inserted into each hair follicle and a small electric current is applied to permanently destroy the follicle's ability to regrow hair. It works on all hair colours and skin types.

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.

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.

Yes; wherever you have unwanted hair, electrolysis can be used to remove it.
