Permanent hair removal by electrolysis in Sainte-Maxime
White, red and fine hairs
Electrolysis, for the hairs that resist
Some hairs resist everything. They come back after waxing, after tweezing, and even after laser. These are the white, red, blonde and very fine hair, as well as fine facial hair. Electrolysis, better known as electrolysis, removes it for good.

Electrolysis and electrolysis describe the same family of techniques: electrical hair removal, hair by hair. It works directly on the root. So it depends neither on the colour of the hair nor on the colour of your skin.
The laser, though, targets melanin. A hair with no pigment stays invisible to it. That is why these stubborn hairs come back session after session.
It is the only method that works on white, blond, red and very fine hair. It is also the only one we use on the face: we never use the laser on this area.
Allow €5 per minute, so €150 for 30 minutes. We welcome you at 23 rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Tuesday to Saturday and by appointment.
The principle
What is vectorial electrolysis?
We place a very fine filament in the natural hair canal, down to the bulb. A low-frequency current then travels straight to the root.
The pulse lasts a few thousandths of a second. Then we lift the hair out with tweezers, with no effort. The root never grows back.
The filament follows the hair's natural opening. So there is no no break in the skin. In other words, we never pierce the skin.

The filament is single use. We open it in front of you, then throw it away after the session.
The skin stays intact. The current travels along the hair canal, never through the epidermis. This no break in the skin explains why the method suits every skin tone, even tanned skin.
A session lasts between 15 minutes and 1 hour depending on the area. The price follows the time spent: 5 € per minute.

The difference
The stubborn hairs the laser cannot treat
The laser targets melanin, the pigment that colours the hair. But three families of hair do not contain enough of it. The beam then misses its target.
No pigment
White hair
The laser does not see them at all. Electrolysis treats them like any other hair.
Read more
Hair often turns white with age, or after the menopause. The laser then becomes useless on areas it used to treat well.
Electrolysis has no such limit. It works on the root, so colour plays no part.
Too light
Blond and red hair
Their pigment is too weak to absorb the beam. The result is almost always disappointing.
Read more
Red hair contains a different pigment, pheomelanin, which the laser picks up very poorly.
So this hair comes back session after session. Electrolysis settles the question for good.
Downy hair
Fine facial hair
Facial down, the upper lip, the chin: all areas the laser does not treat well enough.
Read more
Facial down is fine and often barely pigmented. The face is also a delicate area, close to the eye.
That is why we treat the upper lip, chin, cheeks and between the brows with electrolysis only.
Supervision
Your assessment first passes through the hands of a supervising doctor. We can then reach him six days a week, as soon as a question comes up. And an app keeps the history of every area treated.
Our equipment
Infiny Evo technology
We work with theInfiny Evo by Keros, a 100 % French device, made in the Ain region. It brings together the three currents of electrical hair removal: electrolysis, galvanic electrolysis and blend mode. Its 6.78 MHz vector frequency also makes the sensation far milder.
- Vector frequency of 6.78 MHz
- Electrolysis, galvanic and blend mode
- Programmes dedicated to face and body
- Gauges from very fine to extra thick
- Single-use filaments, no break in the skin
- Iontophoresis mode to soothe the skin
The device's special modes
The device also has modes for ingrown hairs, distorted hairs and paradoxical regrowth, the hairs that sometimes appear after laser or IPL treatment.
A supervising doctor also oversees every protocol. He reads your assessment, then he authorises the start. He remains available six days a week if a question comes up during treatment.
The areas
The areas we treat
Electrolysis treats the face as well as the body. First because it works on every hair. Second because it respects the most delicate areas.
Face
Permanent facial hair removal
- Upper lip
- Chin and jawline
- Cheeks and fine hair
- Eyebrows and between the brows
- Neck
- Ears
Body
Permanent body hair removal
- All areas of the body
- Sensitive areas
- Tattooed areas
- Ingrown and distorted hairs
- Regrowth after laser or pulsed light
- Small areas and finishing
The face: electrolysis only
We never use the laser on the face. The upper lip, chin, cheeks and between the eyebrows are treated with electrolysis only. This method works hair by hair, so it draws a precise outline and respects the delicacy of the skin.

How it works
How a session works
Come with a clean area, free of cream and make-up. Then everything is done hair by hair, with no particular preparation on your part.
Step 1
The filament
We slide a single-use filament into the hair canal, down to the bulb, with no break in the skin.
Step 2
The pulse
The current lasts a few thousandths of a second. The sensation feels like a light tingling.
Step 3
Removal
We lift the hair out with tweezers, with no resistance. Then we move on to the next one.
A session lasts from 15 minutes to 1 hour depending on the area. After the treatment, slight redness may appear for a few hours. That is a normal, passing reaction. On the face, we space sessions one to eight weeks apart. On the body, allow one to two months.
€5per minute
That is 150 € for 30 minutes. The price follows the time actually spent on the area, with no set package and no commitment.
Worth knowing before you choose
On the face, laser can produce the opposite of the intended effect: it stimulates regrowth instead of stopping it. That is why we work there with electrical hair removal, hair by hair.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you ask us about electrolysis
Here are the questions our clients most often ask before an electrolysis session.
How much does an electrolysis session cost?
They are two currents of the same method, electrical hair removal. Thermolysis uses a high-frequency current, electrolysis a galvanic current, and the blend mode combines both. One difference matters to you: our filaments are conductive and slide into the hair's own canal, without breaking the skin. They do not pierce it. We choose the current according to your hair and to the area.
Is electrolysis painful?
No. The vector modulations of the Infiny Evo clearly reduce the sensation felt. Most of our clients describe a light tingle, well tolerated, including on the upper lip.
Does it work on white hair?
Yes, and that is its great strength. Unlike the laser, electrolysis does not depend on melanin. So it treats white, light blonde and red hair and fine down just as effectively as dark hair.
How do you permanently remove white hairs on the chin?
With electrolysis, hair by hair. The chin is one of the areas we treat most, often for women whose hair has turned white with age. Neither wax nor laser deals with it lastingly. Electrolysis, on the other hand, destroys the root.
Why does hair turn white?
The bulb gradually stops making melanin, the pigment that colours the hair. This becomes stronger with age and after the menopause. The hair then grows without colour, and the laser no longer detects it.
Electrolysis, electrolysis: what is the difference?
They are two currents of the same method, electrical hair removal. Electrolysis uses a high-frequency current, electrolysis a galvanic current. Our device offers both, plus a mixed mode called blend. We choose according to your hair and the area.
How many sessions are needed?
The number depends on the area and on your growth cycle. Hairs never all grow at the same time. So several spaced-out sessions are needed to cover a whole area.
Do you treat the face?
Yes, and only with electrolysis. The upper lip, the chin, the cheeks, the eyebrows and the area between the brows are treated hair by hair. We never use the laser on the face.
Can a tattooed area be treated?
Yes. Electrolysis works on tattooed areas, unlike the laser, which would react with the pigments of the ink. The current travels along the hair canal and does not touch the design.
Can it be done in summer, on tanned skin?
Yes. Electrolysis is not contraindicated on tanned skin. That is a major difference with the laser, which we offer from October to May only.
Does electrolysis replace the laser?
No, the two work together. The laser quickly treats large areas and dark hair. Electrolysis takes over on the face, on light hair and on the finishing touches of a laser protocol.
What is paradoxical hypertrichosis?
These are hairs that appear after laser or IPL treatment, sometimes on an area next to the one treated. Our device has a mode dedicated to this regrowth.
Should I let the hair grow before the session?
A visible hair makes the work easier, because we need to locate its follicle. So come with a clean area, free of cream and make-up, and without having waxed in the days before.
