Electric Epilation ( hair removal)

In electric epilation we can discern three methods:
• Epilation with high-frequency alternating current (diathermy)
• Epilation with direct current (electrolysis)
• Epilation with a combination of these two methods (blended method)

Electric epilation using the blended method.
This is the newest method and for several reasons the preferred way of electric hair removal. The advantages: faster than electrolysis/less painful then diathermy/less danger of scarring/suitable for all hair colours, including white and grey hair. It’s a permanent hair removal method with only a slim chance of re-growth. The needle of the epilation device is inserted along the hair into the hair follicle, thereby reaching the root. Using a little power surge the root is heated so that it can easily be removed from its shaft.

This permanent hair removal method takes a lot of time and is quite labour intensive (every hair is removed individually), and therefore it is expensive. This method is effectively permanent/all colours are treatable, including grey and white hair. Because we can only eliminate one hair follicle at a time, you will need several treatments. Electrical depilation can also be a good supplementary treatment to Laser hair removal so as to catch the last few remaining hairs.

What insurance do I need for electric epilation (hair removal) reimbursement?

Would you like to submit a review for electric epilation (hair removal) reimbursement? Then you will need to take out additional insurance. Laser treatment is never reimbursed by basic insurance. In addition, you must carefully consider what you are using this laser treatment for. Many health insurance policies only reimburse laser or electric facial epilation when there is excessive facial hair growth. Facial hair removal is therefore often reimbursed.
