If you’re looking to get rid of your expensive razors, tiresome tweezers and painful waxing appointments, permanent hair removal might be the way to do it.
Electrolysis is a time-proven method – it’s been around since 1875! – and the only one that is truly permanent. While it is time-consuming, requiring that a fine needle is inserted into each individual hair follicle in order to destroy it, electrolysis is suitable for all hair and skin types. It can take a year or more of treatments depending on the area treated.
Laser hair removal was developed in 1995 and IPL in the early 2000s. Both target dark areas, which tends to be the hair follicle, and damages the cells that grow hair. Repeated damage over several sessions slows down regrowth significantly. A year of being hair-free is a good result.
