    More and more men walk through the door at VS Nails & Beauty with the same sentence: "I'm tired of shaving the same spot over and over, and of the bumps that show up afterwards." Electrolysis gives them an answer that neither the razor nor the laser can offer: removing hair at the root and for good, follicle by follicle.

    We're not talking about "smoother skin for a few days." We're talking about permanently shaping the beard line, clearing the neck below the jaw, removing the unibrow or the hair on shoulders and back so it never grows back. And yes, it also works on a grey beard, the kind laser cannot treat.

    We're at C. Párroco Francisco Rodríguez Rodríguez, 63, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, next to the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium and Playa de Las Canteras. Your first assessment consultation is free and with no obligation.

    What Electrolysis Is and Why More Men Are Choosing It

    Electrolysis is the only 100% permanent hair-removal method recognised by the FDA: it inserts an ultra-fine sterile probe into the follicle and disables the cell that makes the hair grow, so that hair never returns.

    For a man, this changes the game. A razor cuts the hair at skin level, but the follicle stays alive: tomorrow it grows back, looking coarser and often irritated. Waxing pulls from the root, but it isn't permanent either. Electrolysis works on the follicle itself, one by one, until it's exhausted.

    That's why it works on any area and any type of hair, including the ones laser cannot treat. You can find all the details on our Electrolysis Hair Removal page.

    • Truly permanent: a treated follicle no longer regrows hair.
    • Colour-independent: treats grey, blonde, red or very fine hair.
    • Precise to the millimetre: ideal for shaping edges and outlines, not just clearing areas.

    The Areas Men Ask About Most

    In practice, five areas account for almost every male consultation. Each has its own nuances, but they all share the same thing: shaving fatigue and the wish for a solution that doesn't come back.

    AreaWhat men wantTypical guidance
    Beard line / shapingClean edges on cheeks and neck, permanent shapeShort, regular sessions
    Neck (below the beard)Remove scattered hair that irritates when shavingVery satisfying, fast to notice
    Unibrow / between the browsSeparate the brows permanentlySmall area, few sessions
    Ears and noseHair on the outer ear and nostril rimDiscreet, precise treatment
    Shoulders and backReduce and remove extensive hairLonger session plan

    Beard shaping is by far the number-one reason: instead of touching up the neckline and cheekbones every couple of days with the trimmer, you define it once and it stops growing where you don't want it.

    Shaving, Ingrown Hairs and Beard Pseudofolliculitis

    For many men, this is the real reason for the visit. Beard pseudofolliculitis appears when the hair, after shaving, curls and grows back into the skin instead of out of it. The result: red bumps, spots, itching and sometimes dark marks on the neck and jaw.

    Shaving more often doesn't fix it; it usually makes it worse. Electrolysis targets the cause: if the problem follicle is removed, that hair can no longer become ingrown because it simply stops existing.

    • Less irritation and less rawness after shaving.
    • Goodbye to recurring ingrown hairs on the neck.
    • More even skin, without the constant rash in the beard area.

    Where Laser Fails: Grey, Blonde and True Permanence

    Laser needs melanin —the dark pigment— to locate the hair. That's why it works well on black hair over light skin, but it doesn't work on grey, white, blonde, red or very fine hair: there's no "target" to heat.

    This is the big advantage for men. Beards go grey early and unevenly, with black and white hairs mixed together. Electrolysis doesn't depend on colour: it treats every follicle equally, with or without pigment. That's why many men come to us after trying laser and finding that "the white hairs are still there."

    On top of that, laser and IPL reduce and weaken hair, but they don't guarantee total permanence. Electrolysis is the only method recognised as 100% permanent: the treated follicle does not return.

    Does It Hurt on Coarse Beard Hair? How Sessions Work

    Let's be honest: you feel it. We're talking about a brief sensation of heat or a pinprick at each follicle, not unbearable pain. On coarse, deep hair —like a beard— we mainly use the galvanic and blend modalities, which are especially effective on this kind of stubborn hair; thermolysis is reserved for finer hair and faster work.

    Most of our clients describe the sensation as perfectly tolerable, especially in short, well-planned sessions. Here's how the rhythm works:

    • Hair grows in cycles, so we work across sessions spread over time.
    • Each follicle is treated individually; small areas (unibrow, beard shaping) move quickly.
    • Sessions of 30 min (€30) or 60 min (€60); the 5×60min (€270) and 10×60min (€540) packages work out cheaper and never expire.

    In the free consultation we assess your hair type and give you a realistic session rhythm, with no empty promises.

    Discretion, Hygiene and What to Expect

    We know many men arrive with a bit of reserve, and we respect that completely. The service is discreet, professional and free of judgement: here you'll only find certified specialists solving a specific aesthetic problem. And yes, the centre is an open, welcoming space for everyone, including trans men looking to treat specific areas.

    There are no shortcuts on hygiene: we use single-use sterile needles, opened in front of you and discarded after the session. Our professionals are certified and work to clear protocols.

    What to expect after a session: the area may look slightly red for a few hours, which is normal and settles on its own. Your first visit is a free assessment consultation where we review your hair, answer your questions and design the plan. Book yours here: Book appointment.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does electrolysis hurt on coarse beard hair?
    You feel a brief sensation of heat or a pinprick at each follicle, but most men describe it as perfectly tolerable. On coarse beard hair we mainly use the galvanic and blend modalities, which are the most effective on this stubborn hair, and we work in short sessions to keep it comfortable.
    How many sessions do I need to shape the beard line?
    It depends on the density and the area being shaped, but since it's a relatively small, very specific zone it usually progresses quickly. In the free consultation we assess your case and give you a guide number of sessions and a realistic plan, with no empty promises.
    Can you permanently shape a beard with electrolysis?
    Yes. By permanently removing the follicles along the neckline and cheekbones that you don't want, your beard shape is outlined permanently and you stop touching up those edges with the trimmer every couple of days.
    Does electrolysis work on a grey or white beard?
    Yes, and it's one of its biggest advantages over laser. Electrolysis doesn't depend on melanin, so it treats grey, white, blonde or very fine hair just as well, exactly the hair laser cannot remove.
    Is it a discreet treatment suitable for men?
    Absolutely. More and more men treat the beard, neck, unibrow, ears, nose, shoulders or back with us. The service is discreet and professional, with certified specialists and single-use sterile needles, and the first consultation is free.
