Electrolysis
|
Unwanted hair is a nuisance for many people, and there are many methods for removal. In a comparison of electrolysis versus laser hair removal each type has their advantages and disadvantages. Electrolysis is a method that uses an electric direct current (DC) supplied through a metal electrode into the follicle of each hair, which in turn kills the root. The laser method uses a pulsed light on the area which damages the hair follicle and causes it to fall out.

As an advantage, electrolysis has a long track record of successfully removing hair for a long time, and in many cases, the hair never grows back. In addition, it doesn’t affect the pigment of the surrounding skin; therefore, it’s effective for people of every race. The disadvantages of electrolysis is that it can take up to 30 sessions before it is effective in reducing or eliminating the hair, and that gets somewhat expensive, and for some people it’s painful. If the technician is improperly trained, or if prior tweezing or waxing has caused the follicles to bend, it will be difficult to get the probe to the root to adequately kill the follicle.

It also takes up to six treatments which can be expensive and can be somewhat painful.
