Electrolysis of the bikini area: features of the procedure

Electrolysis is a procedure for removing hair from various parts of the body. A characteristic feature of manipulation in the deep bikini area is that you can get rid of unwanted hair once and for all. The fact is that the effect of electric current from the device used for electrodepilation irreversibly destroys the hair roots. As a result, they stop growing, which relieves the woman of the need to regularly perform hair removal. Can be performed regardless of the tone of the hair and epidermis. For these reasons, the procedure is increasingly popular among women, despite the pain, duration and high cost.

Electrolysis of intimate areas: pros and cons

Let's consider the main advantages of this method:

• Removing unwanted hair once and for all (even if hair growth is caused by hormonal problems).
• This type of procedure is suitable for all skin and hair types .
• Impossibility of ingrown hairs.
• Zero risk of infection as the method is completely hygienic.
• The ability to get rid of excess vegetation in the most hidden corners of the body.

Unfortunately, even the most effective ways to improve your quality of life have a number of contraindications. Intimate electrolysis also has disadvantages:

• The procedure usually lasts a very long time, because electric current is applied to each hair follicle separately.
• One session is not enough to completely destroy hair in the required area.
• Some types of electrolysis are quite painful.

Important!
When the procedure is carried out by an unscrupulous and unqualified master, even such side effects as microburns, skin discoloration and atrophic scars are possible.
Therefore, you should apply for this service only to reliable specialists working in time-tested institutions.

Consequences

The consequences of electrical hair removal can be not only positive, but also negative. Manifestations such as swelling, bruising, scars (signal about incorrect selection of discharge power), reddish spots (quickly disappear), acne and itching in the bikini area (a natural reaction of the skin to exposure to electricity; scratching is strictly forbidden, as the itching will only intensify and may scarring) are called complications.

They are provoked by interference with the natural processes of hair growth, the actions of a doctor, or the skin’s own properties and reactions.

How to prepare

No special preparation is required before the electrolysis procedure. You just need to limit the use of hormonal drugs for 5-7 days, do not sunbathe, do not visit baths, swimming pools and solariums . At the time of manipulation, the length of the hairs should be approximately 2.5-3 mm, so the last shaving should be done about 3-4 days before the procedure.

Immediately before going to the session itself, you need to follow the necessary hygiene procedures and thoroughly scrub the desired area with a special product recommended by the specialist.

"Epil Salon" is the first among the best!

Our electrolysis center “Epil Salon” employs a well-coordinated team of highly qualified professionals with higher medical education. They have at their disposal high-quality equipment that provides a high level of customer service: “Biomak” made in Hungary and a Spanish device.

For the bikini electrolysis procedure, disposable needles of several types are used:

• with gold plating;
• with insulating coating;
• from a special medical alloy.

For sensitive patients, various types of anesthesia are additionally provided, which will minimize the discomfort from electrolysis in the salon. We use: Emla cream, ultracaine in ampoules, lidocaine spray. At the end of each hair removal session, the skin is treated with a softening antibacterial cream, which ensures a comfortable condition and additional relaxation for the client.

Carrying out the procedure

The electrolysis procedure itself is divided into several stages:

• The area of ​​the selected area is treated with an antiseptic.
• If necessary, local anesthesia is performed.
• An ultra-thin sterile needle is inserted into the hair follicle, which applies an electric current to it.
• The damaged hair is removed using tweezers.
• Another stage of treating the skin with an antiseptic is carried out to eliminate the risk of infection.
• A special soothing cream is applied to relieve redness and possible swelling.

Important!
Soon after the procedure, redness almost always appears on the skin; after a couple of days, everything becomes covered with a crust, which absolutely cannot be combed. There is no need to worry about this; in a maximum of a week, the unpleasant phenomena will disappear and the skin will return to normal.

Reviews

Despite the fact that more than 85% of girls are satisfied with the final result after a course of electrolysis, they note that such treatment is indeed quite painful (especially towards the end of the session).

To achieve ideal smoothness of the skin, on average, about 7-8 procedures are required; for some women, the course lasted almost a year. Hair does not grow after electrolysis; only some young ladies develop a slight fluff, which is easily eliminated with the help of a correction procedure.

Features of a deep bikini

Let's consider the features of bikini electrolysis (deep version) in comparison with other methods of hair removal.

• Unlike photoepilation of the bikini area, which can only be performed on dark hair, using an electric discharge can be effective with any skin type and hair color. And the cost of photoepilation is much higher.
• As for sugaring, the differences between electrolysis and bikini sugar hair removal are the need to protect the skin from various influences, sunlight, water and other agents, as well as the need for special electrical equipment, while sugaring, on the contrary, does not require any additional tricks. But with sugar hair removal, hair will grow back in 2-3 weeks, and electrolysis is highly likely to get rid of hair forever.
• Laser hair removal is more suitable for people who are unable to tolerate severe pain when using electric current. This method is completely painless, but, unfortunately, like photoepilation, it is not at all effective for removing light hair.

Is it painful to do the procedure in the intimate area?

A significant disadvantage of electrolysis is high pain in intimate places, especially in the area of ​​the labia, where the largest number of nerve endings are located.
Therefore, it is better for representatives of the fair sex with a low pain threshold to try to find a less traumatic method.

Is it possible to do electrolysis of a deep bikini?

Women who are susceptible to the problem of increased hair growth, like no one else, would like to look neat on the beaches and in public places, where they are expected to wear a swimsuit or mini-clothes.

Therefore, to the question whether it is possible to do electrolysis in the deep bikini area, the answer will only be positive. Of course, we are talking about people who have no contraindications for this procedure.

Is it harmful for women?

Many people are interested in the question of the harmful effects of electrolysis in the bikini area.
So, removal of hair follicles in the intimate area does not bring any negative consequences if an experienced cosmetologist is selected for the sessions, and if all the prescribed recommendations are carefully followed before and after this event. Did you know?
There are unconfirmed opinions that hair removal can lead to early menopause, and due to metabolic disorders due to lack of hair growth in the intimate area, the body begins to produce more male hormones, which leads to rapid aging.

How much time and sessions will it take?

When looking at the question of how long it will take electricity to get rid of unwanted vegetation in intimate places, it turns out that the time required is high. Before agreeing to such a procedure, it would be a good idea to ask your chosen doctor how many electrolysis sessions are needed specifically for the bikini area. Typically, the course of monthly manipulations varies from six months to several years, it depends on the individual number of follicles in a particular person.

The time for one session usually ranges from 3-4 hours, and if you choose a deep bikini area, you will have to endure an hour more.

Men's bikini electrolysis

An effective method of electrolysis has long been used for men.
Unlike procedures for the fair sex, it is more complicated and requires even more time. Specialists for “male” sessions are selected more carefully than for women, this is due to the need to correctly select the required current strength in order to minimize damage to the delicate skin in the intimate area.

The main advantage of deep bikini electrolysis for men is its complete painlessness, which is achieved with regular visits to a specialist’s office, since it is always carried out under local anesthesia.

Now men have the opportunity to put aside the boring razor and have smooth skin without having to undergo uncomfortable home manipulations.

General operating principle

In general terms, electrolysis of the bikini area can be characterized as the complete destruction of vegetation on the pubis, labia and perineum using electric current for a long period of time or on a permanent basis.
