Vita Felice Medi Spa Adds Health Canada-Recognized Permanent Hair Removal in New Westminster, BC
New Westminster, Canada - November 11, 2026 / Vita Felice Medi Spa /
Vita Felice Medi Spa has launched a certified electrolysis service at its Downtown New Westminster location, bringing to the area the only hair removal method Health Canada recognizes as permanent. The service is led by Rachel Leoni, a certified electrologist with more than nine years of experience in aesthetics, and is designed to serve a broad range of clients including those managing hormonal hair growth and those seeking gender-affirming hair removal.
The Only Health Canada-Recognized Permanent Solution
Unlike laser or intense pulsed light treatments, which are limited by hair colour and skin tone, electrolysis works by delivering a precise electrical current directly to each individual hair follicle, destroying its ability to regrow hair. Health Canada recognizes electrolysis as the only method capable of achieving permanent hair removal, a distinction that sets it apart from other options available on the market.
This matters in practice: laser treatments, for example, are generally ineffective on light, grey, red, or white hair because they rely on pigment to target the follicle. Electrolysis, by contrast, is effective on all hair colours and all skin tones, making it a viable option for a significantly wider population. For clients in British Columbia who have previously been told they are not candidates for laser hair removal, the launch of electrolysis New Westminster residents can access locally represents a meaningful shift in what is available close to home.
Serving Hormonal and Gender-Affirming Hair Removal Needs
The service at Vita Felice Medi Spa is specifically structured to address a range of client needs that are often underserved in the aesthetics space. Hormonal hair growth - which can result from conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), menopause, or thyroid imbalance - responds well to electrolysis because the method does not depend on the characteristics of the hair itself, only on the follicle.
Gender-affirming hair removal is also a central focus of the new service offering. For transgender and non-binary clients, permanent hair removal can be a significant part of gender transition, and electrolysis is widely used for facial hair removal in this context because it delivers lasting results regardless of the coarseness or colour of the hair being treated. The studio has positioned itself as a welcoming space for clients across this spectrum of needs.
Rachel Leoni, who brings over nine years of professional experience in aesthetics to the role, oversees all electrolysis treatments at the Downtown New Westminster location. Her background in the field positions Vita Felice Medi Spa as a destination for clients throughout the region seeking a qualified provider of permanent hair removal in New Westminster and the broader Lower Mainland.
Electrolysis Conveniently Located in Downtown New Westminster, BC
The Downtown New Westminster location places the service within reach of clients across the Metro Vancouver region. For those who have been researching electrolysis BC options, the studio offers an accessible location combined with a practitioner whose credentials align with Health Canada's standards for the procedure.
Clients typically require a series of sessions to treat a given area, as electrolysis addresses follicles one at a time during each hair's active growth phase. The number of sessions varies depending on the size of the treatment area, hair density, and individual factors such as hormonal activity. At Vita Felice Medi Spa, consultations are available to help prospective clients understand what a treatment plan appropriate to their specific situation would look like.
The addition of electrolysis to the menu at Vita Felice Medi Spa reflects the growing recognition that permanent hair removal should be accessible to all individuals, regardless of their hair colour, skin tone, or the underlying reason for seeking treatment.
