No, it did not. The guillotine was mostly used during the period that is now called The Terror, a one-year period in which tens of thousands of 'enemies of the Revolution' were put under the Guillotine. Among these were a great number of aristocrats, but an even greater number were ordinary citizens accused of expressing defeatist views or views considered even slightly hostile to the Revolutionary regime. At the end of that year, the leader of the Terror regime (called Maximilien Robbespierre) was himself executed under the guillotine.

What is the truth about using the guillotine?
The guillotine was used as an instrument of control, death was fast and certain but as applied the Guillotine was also very public. The ruling parties after the French revolution applied this method as entertainment to the masses for whom they had little respect, at a time of hardship and hunger. It gave the "masses" something to feel that they were watching justice and were a part of the act of appying justice. It is noteworthy that so many of the ruleing group were in their own time brought to the dock and were dispatched by the same instrument they themselves had used for control and to terrorize. The application of the guillotine on Maximillion Robbespierre, was witnessed by the usual sort of mob, but his last moments were described as filled with terror,ashen in appearence, shaking and trembling. So it goes around,and then around again.
