There are a lot of myths and realities about laser and electrolysis hair removal. In both cases there has been so much marketing that people often get confused about what to believe. Here are a few facts that you can count on to help you decide if either of these hair removal techniques are right for you.





Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Laser is permanent hair reduction, not permanent hair removal. Some of the hairs that go away with your initial set of sessions will start growing out after about a year but they will be thinner than they originally were and they will be sparse. You will need to get one touch up every year to maintain the results.


Is Electrolysis Hair Removal Permanent?


Electrolysis has been around for more than 130 years and is the only form of hair removal to be proven to have permanent results. If you go through some hormonal changes such as pregnancy and menopause you can grow out new hairs that you never had before. The hairs that have already been treated however will never grow again.

Who Is A Laser Candidate?

The ideal candidate is someone who has light skin and a lot of thick black hairs. The reason for this is because the laser targets the pigment of the hairs so the lighter your skin is the easier it is for the laser to do its job. If you have olive skin you can still get good results as long as your hairs are thick and dark. If you have thin or very little hairs then this method is completely wrong for you because you will either see very little results or you can grow out thick, darks hairs that you never had before. People with thin, light hairs should so electrolysis.

Can Laser Be Done On The Face?

Many people believe that doing laser on the face is dangerous. This is both true and false. Laser should never be performed near the eye area because it may cause you to lose your eyesight. It should also not be used on the face of someone who has thin hairs or very little hairs because it may cause hair to grow out rather than disappear.

Can My Electrologist Use The Same Probe (Needle) On Me For All Of My Treatments?

Some electrolysis technicians like to use the probe on a specific client over and over again. Even though they may not use the probe on anyone else, this is still an unsanitary practice because the tool can get bent and dirty and become contaminated with bacteria therefore causing scarring. Probes are very inexpensive so be sure that you get a new one with each and every session.

Electrolysis Will Get Rid Of The Hairs As Quickly As Laser

Most probably not. You will need to go for electrolysis as often as necessary in order to get results. Depending on what you’ve done to get rid of the hairs in the past, your ethnic background and the size of the area being worked on the treatment times will differ. The electrolysis procedure is definitely more time consuming but it’s worth the effort because once the hairs are gone they will never come back. If you’re planning on doing a large area however, my advice is to start with laser (if you’re a candidate) and finish with electrolysis.


If The Laser Doesn’t Hurt Then It Is Not Working

Not at all! There are a lot of people who feel comfortable during their treatments and see great results. The amount of pain that you feel depends on several different things:
·       The thickness and density of the hairs- the areas where the hairs are thicker will hurt more than the other areas.

·       If you’re in the middle of your premenstrual cycle- you’re simply going to be more sensitive at this time so you may want to schedule around it.
·       
     How dark your skin is- the darker your skin the more painful the procedure may be.
·       The area being treated- the Brazilian is the most sensitive.
·       Your own pain tolerance in general- if you’re a sensitive person then you will feel the laser do its work.
     The best way to get all of your questions answered is to set up a consultant with a hair removal specialist that you trust. Be sure to also do some of your own research online.


My personal opinion if your pain threshold is low, or if you have belonefobia go for electrolysis.
I do not like injections at all, and I would rather swallow 100 pills rather than having a jab.

Tell me what do you think? Have you ever had any type of laser hair hair treatment? what are your thoughts are you happy or unhappy from the results? Do you recommend it ? Or do you have any plans of having any type of laser hair removal?
