Laser Hair Removal Systems
Laser hair removal systems destroy the hair roots so that it never grows back out of that particular hair follicle. Laser hair removal is the most recent on the market of permanent hair removal. It uses lasers to heat the hair all the way down to the root and kill it so that it will no longer grow. Laser hair removal is faster than electrolysis hair removal because it is able to kill hundreds of hair follicles at one time rather than treating on hair follicle at a time. Getting laser treatment is expensive but it is effective.
It costs about five hundred dollars per treatment, with most people needing not more than four treatments. The laser treatment is expensive but for people that have struggled with unwanted hair on their faces and backs and can’t seem to find any other source of treatment that will work, laser treatment is very effective and it is the right choice.
Electrolysis Hair Removal
The other form of treatment you can purchase is electrolysis hair removal. Electrolysis uses electricity instead of light waves to kill hair roots for permanent hair removal. This process requires each hair to be treated individually since a needle has to be inserted into each hair in order for the electric current to reach to follicle down to the root of the hair.
The current isn’t usually strong enough to cause much more than mild discomfort for the person but that also depends on the sensitivity of the area being treated and the pain tolerance of the individual. Electrolysis can also be more expensive because you pay by the hour and not by the session. If you are getting an area treated with not many hairs at all, the cost will be a lot less than getting a laser treatment. Often, people who choose this method of hair removal find that they are paying up to $100 for an hour of treatment, so this may not be a very budget friendly option for you. Remember you usually have to ‘kill’ the hairs after a few treatments as there are more than one hair in the ‘spot.’
No matter whether you choose to undergo laser or electrolysis hair removal treatments, you should know that you will be paying to eventually and permanently be rid your body of unwanted hair, so take your time and do plenty of research on both laser and electrolysis methods of permanent hair removal.
