It seems that almost every other
day, new claims are made about the so-called newest and/or fastest methods
of hair removal. I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a "quick
fix" that you don't end up paying for later.
One of the most important aspects of laser hair removal is its lasting
effects. As of today, electrolysis is the only proven method for
permanent and effective hair removal.
If your main goal is for complete
and lasting hair removal then this is the method that you should most
consider. As it stands, laser hair removal can not only allow
hair to grow back but can also only reduce it instead of completely
removing it.
Laser procedures are known to reduce dark hair, mostly from light skinned
individuals. There have been recent advances in laser hair removal
technology that may make it effective on light hair as well, however it is
still not clear how well this most recent technology works. One the other
hand, electrolysis is great for getting rid of unwanted hair of any
color.
Electrolysis has been used as an
effective permanent hair removal solution for many years. It has been
tried, tested, and proven to work. Laser technology is relatively new
compared to electrolysis, so there are no long-term results to base any
assessment on. We do know that it can cause damage and requires treatment
upon treatment with the possibility of the
desired results never being
achieved.
The amazing thing about electrolysis
is that it is permanent.
Once you have the treatment
procedure completed, you will
never have to worry about hair appearing on the treated area again. This
is a great advantage over laser hair removal.
