The short answer is that for smaller areas, laser hair removal can be quite successful. However, electrolysis still has one big advantage, and several smaller advantages, over laser hair removal.  For larger areas, laser hair removal may prove more convenient, if slightly less successful. Read on for all the details.

Laser Hair Removal

Lasers tend to work best on those with dark hair and light skin. This is due to the fact that the lasers target melanin. Melanin is found in higher quantities in darker hair. There are a few newer lasers that can remove blonde hairs, but they aren’t in wide use, and don’t match the results of lasers on darker hair. And, if your skin happens to be dark, proceed cautiously, as the laser targets the melanin in your skin as . This can cause dark or light spots in your skin, and potentially irritation.

Painfulness

Lasers are not nearly as painful as having your hairs waxed, but they are more painful tweezing or the Indian threading technique. The pulsing light feels a bit like a rubber band snap on your skin. Taking an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen ( Advil, Motrin ) before your appointment will minimize the effect.

How much time does laser hair removal take?

It really depends on the area.  Facial laser treatment, around the chin and upper lip goes quickly, 10 to 15 minutes or so.  Typically, five or six treatments, every four weeks, is needed for permanent results.

Larger areas, like the legs will have you in the clinic for around an hour, depending on the density of hair growth.

Cost

One of the downsides of laser hair removal is the cost. It varies by location, but sessions can range from $150-$300, or more.  And, remember, that’s per session.  You’ll need 4-6 sessions or more.

What about the results ?

Most laser hair removal salons quote an 80% reduction in hair growth. Of course, your results may vary.  Some patients have better luck, and some have worse.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is generally more successful than laser hair removal, and work equally well on lighter and darker colored hair.

How electrolysis works

The technician uses a sterile needle, and individually inserts it into each of your hair follicles. Then, a low-level electric charge kills the follicle. Theh process treats one hair at a time, so it can be pretty. tedious process. For areas like the face, this is not such a big deal, but larger areas take a lot of time.

Pain

Electrolysis is more painful than laser hair removal, mostly because you feel the pinch for each hair.  Where the laser feels like a rubber band, electrolysis feels like a small pin prick.

Cost

The cost per session is lower than laser hair removal, at $50-75 per thirty minute session.  However, the total number of sessions is higher, at 15-30 visits.

Are results guaranteed? Yes. Unlike laser and pulsed lights, electrolysis kills every follicle the aesthetician treats.

The pain from electrolysis is greater than laser and it may feel like 20 pricks to your one for laser hair removal. Cost is about $60 for a typical 30-minute session, but the con is you need about 15-30 visits to see the best results (ouch!)

What about the results?

Electrolysis comes very close to being guaranteed results. The process kills each follicle the technician treats.  Followups are typically treating missed or new follicles, not ones that have already been treated.

I’m considering electrolysis on my upper lip, how much should I expect to pay ?  How many treatments do I need?  How long do they last?

Answer:

Your might be surprised at how affordable it really is, as higher costs are usually incurred for those with unusually heavy hair growth…

For an average patient treating unwanted hair on the upper lip area, the cost can range from $150 up to $300.  Extremely dark or coarse hair on the upper lip might cost cost more… as much as $750.00, but that would be extemely unusual.

For finer  hairs or lighter growth of on the upper lip area, schedule an appointment every 2-4 weeks to start.  The initial sessions should take 5 to 10 minutes or so.  Heavier growth on your upper lip can also be treated weekly, but keep each session under 30 minutes to avoid excessive irritation.

Since the upper lip is an especially sensitive area, it can be a good idea to be more conservative, and  keep the session to 15 minutes or less. Your upper lip area can sting during treatments, and overtreatment can cause skin damage.  A good technician, however, can produce great results, and is typically the only method that creates permanent stoppage of growth.

The qualified electrolysis technician will take into account the patient’s skin tone, hair color, hair texture, and hair density to determine what type of electrolysis is best.  Whether that be the current standard of laser electrolysis, popular but older electrology technique, and even medical and topical treatments to help make the solution a permanent hair removal treatment.

Anyone can undergo electrolysis. A common misconception about electrolysis is that it is painful.

The treatment may cause some discomfort, such as warm sensations, reddening of the skin or slight swelling, but electrolysis is really a relatively painless procedure. The reddening or slight swelling of the area where electrolysis was performed usually disappears after a few hours.

Even though electrolysis is a painless and simple hair removal treatment, there are still some things to consider before it can be undertaken. Electrolysis is a regulated hair removal treatment in most states. Thus, if you decide to undergo the treatment, you need to seek the services of a qualified and licensed electrolysis technician. Depending on the amount of unwanted hair you have, you may need to go back for several electrolysis treatments so you need to find someone who knows exactly what he or she is doing.

For many, electrolysis seems to be an extreme way of removing unwanted hair. In general, though, electrolysis is more effective than other hair removal methods such as shaving cream and razor, hair removal creams and hot wax. With shaving cream and razor, you’re bound to miss a spot or have scars.

Hair removal creams will leave you smelly. And unless you’re a masochist, hot wax could burn your skin. Electrolysis, on the other hand, is the safer, more effective alternative. In just a few treatments (and a little discomfort), you can say goodbye to all your unwanted hair forever.
