I know that laser is less painful and inexpensive than elec. as that can take much longer and thus result in more money. However, just wanted to know if anyone has used laser or electrolysis hair removal...are the results permanant with laser..i read with laser there is permanant REDUCTION but not permanant removal or hair...and is it worth the pain and cost of electrolysis coz im scared that will leave scars....
So those who have experience please help me decide coz i want to have treatment on my armpit and legs...cost is not an issue as theres no point having laser and then having to go back for electro...Just want to know what you would reccomend for proper permanent removal...All help appretiated, thanks..
With electrolysis I only noticed a reduction after 1.5 years of weekly sessions, but that may be due to my incrediby thick black hair! I would say, electrolysis can be uncomfortable and time consuming, especially on a large area like your arms and legs, but if the hair there is pale, or your skin is darker it may not be so good for laser anyhow. I didn't experience any scarring, but I did once get a broken capilliary under the skin that has taken time to fade :-)
A Gillette Sensor Excel twin-blade razor, warm water, a bowl, soap, a Dunhill shaving brush, and, a member of the opposite sex in whom you have placed total and unamphibolised trust!
Laser definitely. Electrolysis is old-fashioned, less effective and painful with risk of skin infection.
Laser is permanent on areas that are not affected by hormones. If you have hormone issues (like polycystic ovaries) then some facial hair may start to grow back. This just means you would get a touch-up once a year.
Laser was permanent for me and took way less time than electrolysis. Electrolysis also hurt alot more. Make sure you go to someone good. The attached sites can help with info and provider options.
