Electrolysis vs Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal offers an alternative for anyone who is tired of having to shave, pluck, tweeze or wax to remove unwanted hair. Until recently the only alternative that was available was a procedure called electrolysis. Electrolysis involves delivering a small charge of electricity directly into the hair follicle. This electrical shock kills the follicle and eliminates the ability of that follicle being able to produce a new hair. This process can be very time consuming, because the shock must be delivered to each follicle one at a time. Electrolysis usually requires several visits to eliminate hair from a large area.

A few years ago a new hair removal system was introduced using a pulsing laser light to accomplish the same task. Laser hair removal has since been growing in popularity. The reason for the growth is, laser hair removal is simpler and faster than electrolysis. Laser hair removal can be achieved in much less time because the laser is able to treat large areas and multiple hair follicles at the same time. This has made permanent hair removal cost less than in the past. The lower cost has contributed to more of the population being able to afford such treatments.
