Laser Hair Removal Vs. Electrology . . .

There are many things to consider when making a decision on what treatment is best for you. I suggest always calling on a highly trained electrologist who also does laser hair removal. They should offer a free consultation and advise what service serves you best and why. A wise decision involves a check of the internet for reviews and ratings of the laser hair removal and electrology business in your area.

Here are some facts when considering laser hair removal.

Lasers work best on dark hair because it needs color content called melanin. Thin, slightly dark hair is not going to allow the best success as opposed to electrology. But, if you have a large quantity of hair, electrology could take lots of time to cure. I believe electrology to be a better treatment when there are scattered hairs and the hair problem is not truly heavy. I use the blend which is two forms of permanent hair removal used together and is very effective when you want to permanently remove hair. Lasers and electrolysis are the only true options for permanent hair removal. But, lasers are for permanent hair reduction. this technique will not kill hair without enough melanin in the follicle. There is a great laser for dark-skinned people referred to as a 1064 Yag. The right laser is important because you can end up with major pigmentation problems if the operator doesn't know how to use the laser correctly. Many people have a blend of hair colors and hair types, for instance, coarse hair blended with fine hair. The client mainly wishes to see the dark large terminal hair removed. Thanks to the presence of electrologists, the price of laser hair removal has been reduced. It is much more affordable now than it was when only doctors were doing the work. The electrologist profession is focused on permanent hair removal. It is not a sideline service done by a hair removal specialist.

Never, never pluck or wax facial hair other than your eyebrows. More times than I can count, the problem has worsened as time passes. The smart thing to do is see a electrologist when it starts to be a problem because that's when it can be easily cured. Shaving does not increase hair growth. That is an Old Wife's Tale and not a fact. Shaving is needed in order to facilitate laser procedures, however. There can not be any hair above the skin when treating with a laser. The laser would burn the hair above the skin causing pain and possibly a skin burn in addition to the hair. The great news is that within 15 days all the hairs will fall out, but laser only affects actively growing hair. That is why a combination of laser treatments and electrology need to be done in sessions.

Pain is not a problem now - there are numbing agents, that if used correctly, totally remove any discomfort. Most people don't need numbing, but there are some that are very sensitive and don't want any discomfort. You need to speak to your doctor about helping you get Elma Numbing Cream. Electrology is a more guaranteed form of hair removal. There are places that say they guarantee laser hair removal, but there is no way you can be certain that a lot the hair has been removed with a laser. All they can do is keep treating you and usually their guarantee means is that after you pay the full price for 6 to 8 treatments, any additional treatments are half price. Their half price is usually my regular price. I do my very best to make it affordable and you only pay per visit. If you are not satisfied with the treatment, there is no "contract" that forces you to keep returning. I don't believe in forcing someone into paying a lot of money by stringing them along. The only true guarantee that can be given is with electrology treatments.
