As we had discussed in the previous post Hair Removal Methods, the phrase permanent hair removal is more of a misnomer as the results would last for at most a year or a little beyond that. Armed with that thought, let’s look at the different permanent hair removal solutions available.
Electrolysis hair removal and Laser hair remover methods are by far the most effective. We’ve laid down the facts about permanent hair removal options so that you can choose what’s best for you!
Key facts:
Electrolysis hair removal is a method being used for quite some time now (over 135 years) and has proven to be the most effective way to get rid of hair for long term. In fact, some customers have even seen permanent hair removal using this method. Laser hair removal products on the other hand are a more recent solution with not much evidential customer data supporting its effectiveness.
- Electrolysis is much cheaper and widely used/accepted compared to Laser hair removal.
- Electrolysis is effective for all hair colors unlike lasers which are best suited for dark haired/light skinned customers.
- Electrolysis can be painful, tedious procedure and difficult to apply for large areas of the body. If this procedure is not done correctly, it can lead to skin infections, marks on the skin and/or partial results.
- Lasers with varying wavelengths of energy are used based on the hair color, skin color & skin type of customer. If performed properly, long lasting results can be achieved. Some customers have shown positive response to laser treatments with long term results. According to Mayo clinic, lasers treatment can reduce hair anywhere from 20 ~ 90%.
- Lasers can be used on larger surface areas for permanent hair removal and if regrowth does occur after a period of time, it’s seen to be in light in color and very fine in texture.
