Electrolysis Verses Laser Hair Removal

Electrolysis – Can be used on anyone despite their skin or hair color because it attacks the hair follicle itself, and not the pigment in the hair.

Laser – The main steam laser unit can only be used on those with light skin and dark hair.

It can burn those with dark skin and cause skin pigment discoloration.

People with light hair won’t get optimal results because the laser targets dark hair.

PAIN FACTOR

Electrolysis- Everyone has different tolerance’s to pain.

The process has been linked to feeling like a stinging or prickling sensation.

There are many options for numbing creams/lotions to be applied before treatments if you find the treatment uncomfortable.

Laser- Feels like a rubber band snapping against your skin and heat sensation. The darker coarser hair feels more of the burn.

RESULTS

Facial hair on women is often lighter and finer than the body and may not respond as well to the laser because it targets pigment (color) in the hair follicle.
