Interesting thread on the Hair Tell Forum which starts out by providing a link to an article about hair removal and then moves onto a discussion about the media portrayal of laser hair removal as being so much better than electrolysis even though electrolysis is the only method of hair removal to really work permanently for everyone.
HairTell Hair Removal Forum: Feeling plucky? Options abound for hair removal
It just seems so much more interesting to zap your hair all in one session than to have each hair painstakingly treated over and over with an electrolysis probe in endless sessions until it eventually dies permanently.
Flocking back to electrolysis
Laser hair removal seems to meet the need we have today for instant gratification in all things from dating to diets although you still have to have several hair removal sessions and wait for the hair to shed.
But what is the benefit if after a few months you get the dreaded regrowth? It’s a case of more haste less speed when it comes to laser treatment vs electrolysis. A bit of the “hare and the tortoise” in this tale or the “hair and the tortoise” as it were.
Laser hair removal can still be a valuable method for removing hair from large areas of the body where you don’t have a lifetime to wait to get yourself permanently hair free with electrolysis but don’t go for the quick and less effective method when it comes to facial hair removal. It just isn’t worth it then.
The other option you may want to consider is to use both methods. First of all do a full set of laser hair removal sessions to get rid of the bulk of the hair as quickly as possible, and then take care of the stubborn ones that don’t react easily to the laser treatment and kill them off with electrolysis.
