Electrolytic epilation consists in sending an electric discharge to the bulb of the bristle via a needle. One proceeds hair by hair, which implies that this technique is long.

Electrolysis:

Use: Electrolysis consists in transmitting an electrical current to the hair bulb which will create a coagulation and will cause the hair to fall to the root. The hair is targeted one by one through a needle. The hair grows in three stages: catagen phase (the hair is born in the bulb), anagen phase (grows out of the skin) and telogen phase (it is dead and will fall). Since electrolysis only affects the hair in catagen and anagen phases, it is necessary to multiply the sessions to target all the down. It all depends on the area to be depilated, but it takes between 6 months and two years for all hair to fall off. The sessions are very close together at the beginning and then they are separated.

Precautions: This technique remains to be avoided for pregnant women, diabetics who are under insulin as well as cardiac .

Advantages: It is a reliable solution especially when one has a clear hair . Electrolysis works on all types of skins (including mats and blacks). It can be used on the whole body and face.

Disadvantages: This method takes a lot of time and remains expensive . Constraining for large areas.
