Top 2 Ways to Permanent Hair Removal
Hairlessness Often Comes Down to
Electrolysis Versus Laser Hair Removal
Lily Knapke wanted to banish what she perceived to be a hairy centipede growing on her upper lip. "In a perfect world, women wouldn't have to worry about permanent hair removal," the 31 year old mother of twins suggested. "But it's not a perfect world and I don't always have time to mess with threading, or waxing or bleaching."

"When I first started to look into permanent facial hair removal it turns out there are two methods - electrolysis versus laser hair removal, " Knapke said. "I had no idea what the difference was. But I do know now." "Basically," she went on, "with electrolysis, a needle is used to deliver an electric charge to kill the root of the hair. A laser uses pulsed light to do the same." "Electrolysis zaps hairs one at a time. While you can go after a larger area with a laser. So when comparing electrolysis versus laser hair removal - I'd hope it's obvious going to a hair removal salon that uses laser is probably going to be faster," Knapke added. |
Laser works best on darker hair on lighter skin. Electrolysis generally isn't hampered by hair or skin color.
When it comes to the lawyers, only electrolysis can legally claim permanent hair removal. With laser treatments the emphasis should be on hair reduction. So if you want certainty of the hair removed permanently you can see which one might be best. Or maybe you could use a combination of the two?
Lily admitted, "Either permanent hair remover is going to involve some pain. We're talking electricity after all. Or light heat from the laser."
"For me the question of electrolysis versus laser hair removal came down to my dermatologist and her laser. I got the permanent laser hair removal I was looking for with the least amount of discomfort and time. Plus it was darn well worth every penny."
