The definitive electric hair removal: what it is and what it consists of

The final electric hair removal consists in burning, one by one, the cells responsible for regrowth. A fine needle is inserted up to the root of each hair, destroying the bulb through the heat emitted by a small electric "shock". For this reason, electric hair removal can be considered definitive. Often the pulsed light or the definitive laser are used for hair removal at the groin, as it is usually quite painful: many women also opt for a total hair removal of the private parts, an increasingly frequent habit in recent years and definitely more comfortable and less painful than waxing, especially hot waxing, and other various methods of hair removal.

Definitive electric hair removal: what it is and how to do it

During a preliminary visit, your doctor will need to be made aware of your health situation in order to be able to act safely and carefully examine the hair you want to remove. Subsequently, the doctor can insert a very thin needle into each hair orifice.

In general, an electrocoagulator is used, a high-frequency electrical device connected to a pen, on which the needle is inserted. The expert will slide the needle along the hair to the root, and then destroy the bulb through the electric current. This technique is slightly painful and is usually done under local anesthesia.

Definitive hair removal: costs, duration of treatments and advice for a perfect result

• Not all hair grows at the same rate. Some are still in germ, while others are already visible. Electric hair removal allows you to treat only the latter. After a session, the hair bulbs not yet destroyed continue to grow. That is why it is necessary to carry out more treatments.
• The duration of each session varies according to the area to be treated. From 20 minutes for the face to 2 hours for a larger surface such as the legs.
• A session costs from € 50 upwards.
• After a treatment, crusts can form which last a maximum of 2-3 weeks. Sun exposure is temporarily prohibited.
