Frequently asked questions by treatment
Electrolysis
Electrolysis can feel uncomfortable, but the intensity varies per person. It depends on your sensitivity, cycle,
the area being treated and the device settings. Numbing products can noticeably reduce discomfort.
Yes. Electrolysis is the method that can remove all hair types: light, peach fuzz, red, dark and grey—regardless of skin type.
On average the process takes 12–18 months. In some cases, 1.5–3 years. This is related to the hair growth cycle—
only hairs in the active (anagen) phase can be permanently treated.
A destroyed follicle does not recover. However, “dormant” follicles can become active later, which may look like regrowth
while the treatment course is still in progress.
Face: every 2–3 weeks.
Body: every 3–4 weeks.
Body: every 3–4 weeks.
Normal: redness, mild swelling, small scabs.
Not normal: deep burns or persistent pigmentation—this may indicate incorrect settings or incorrect aftercare.
Not normal: deep burns or persistent pigmentation—this may indicate incorrect settings or incorrect aftercare.
Not recommended. There is limited scientific evidence and the risks are unwanted.
Avoid tanning 3–5 days before and at least 7–10 days after the treatment. The skin should be calm and not recently tanned.
Because the root is removed—then electrolysis has nothing to treat. Only shaving or trimming is allowed.

Laser hair removal
Usually it feels like a light snap or warmth. Modern lasers have cooling, which makes the treatment more comfortable.
Laser works best on dark hair with a lighter skin contrast. Light or grey hair is often not “seen” well by the laser,
so the effect may be limited.
Typically 6–10 treatments with intervals of 4–6 weeks. Results depend on hormonal factors and hair density.
Often after 1–2 sessions: hair becomes thinner, grows slower and there is less hair overall.
No. Hair sheds gradually within 7–20 days after the session. That’s normal.
• Shave the area 24 hours before
• No tanning 10–14 days before
• No scrubs 2–3 days before
• No waxing/tweezing 3–4 weeks before
• Skin clean and free of oils/creams
• No tanning 10–14 days before
• No scrubs 2–3 days before
• No waxing/tweezing 3–4 weeks before
• Skin clean and free of oils/creams
Not recommended. There isn’t enough evidence about safety.
• cancer / oncology
• pregnancy
• epilepsy
• pacemaker
• active infections/inflammation on the skin
• recent tanning
• medications that increase light sensitivity (always inform your specialist)

Not recommended for 10–14 days. The skin is more sensitive to UV after a laser treatment.
A large part of follicles is destroyed permanently. Due to hormonal changes, a few hairs may return;
maintenance 1–2 times per year helps.
Yes—if you avoid tanning and follow the advice strictly. On tanned skin, results are lower and the risk of pigmentation is higher.
Yes, with the right equipment and an experienced specialist. Personally, for facial hair I often recommend electrolysis
for a more precise and permanent result.

Sugaring
Sugaring is hair removal with sugar paste: applied against hair growth and removed in the direction of hair growth.
This reduces irritation and may help prevent ingrown hairs.
It’s individual, but many clients find sugaring less painful than waxing because of the technique in the direction of hair growth.
Ideally 5–7 mm. If the hair is shorter, the paste may not grip it well.
On average 3–4 weeks, depending on the area and your personal hair growth.
Yes. Sugar paste does not stick to living skin like some waxes, so the method is often gentler.
The chance is smaller, but it can happen. Regular exfoliation (start after 2–3 days) and hydration help prevent ingrowns.

Maintenance: 1–2 times per month.
Sensations vary. In areas with fibrotic cellulite there may be discomfort, but it usually decreases with each session.
In the first sessions, small pinpoint bruises can appear, especially with fibrosis or fragile capillaries. This can be a normal response.
It is often used for cellulite: it may improve microcirculation and fluid drainage, and can help tissue feel smoother.
Sometimes possible in mild cases; with severe varicose veins or thrombophlebitis it is usually contraindicated.
Yes, there is Endosphères Face—focused on skin quality, facial contours and reduced puffiness.
