Difference between laser hair removal and electrolysis. I want to remove facial hair from my chin.?
…. and maybee my lip area but all i know is that you have to be light skin with dark hair.Have any of you had it done and what advise can you give me please.
*Does it scar
*How bad does it hurt:
*How much $
***How effective is it
*Laser vs electrolisis?
I am actually right now getting 3 areas on my body done, my upperlip, underarms and some facial hair. So to answer your first question:
NO, it does not leave any scars
NO, it does not hurt, you might feel like a zappy feeling for half a second but its only in the sensitive area like my underarms.
IT could be expensive depending on where you go. I deal with this company called NEOSKIN (look it up, they are awesome) and the way that it works is that you pay for 12 sessions because depending on your skin types it varies how many sessions you need. Most peoples need like around 7-8 sessions before the hair is permanently removed. But this company always has speacials going on, like 50% OFF, get 2 areas and get the third area free.
YES it is very effective.
Electrolysis is permanent hair removal that should always be performed by someone with considerable training and skill. This procedure involves several steps. To begin, a hair-thin metal probe will be carefully slid in to a hair follicle, with out puncturing the skin. After this probe is inserted, the procedure that has been decided upon will occur.There are three procedures to consider: Galvanic, Thermolysis and Blend. Galvanic electrolysis involves the salt and water in the skin around the follicle penetrated by the probe to be chemically altered to produce lye. This lye can damage the cells causing hair growth if enough of it is produced. Another procedure is called Thermolysis and this works by manipulating the water molecules surrounding the probe to vibrate, causing heat, and if enough of this heat is generated, the cells causing hair growth will be damaged. The third procedure is known as Blend and is a combination of the two previous procedures. This utilizes the theory that lye will perform better if heated, thus the two procedures are combined. This procedure is the most recommended of the three. There are definite advantages as well as disadvantages to this procedure. The advantages are that electrolysis has been preformed the longest and has the best results to date. It has over 125 years of clinically proven safety and effectiveness. Disadvantages are cost, pain, the procedure is tedious, so it is time-consuming and large amounts of hair can cause difficulties. The procedure must be done correctly or partial to full regrowth can occur, skin damage or infection can occur.Another disadvantage is the regulation of these procedures by the government, this regulation varies by state, so there is no constant standard to ensure competency among practitioners. The last disadvantages are that some people, generally between 7and 10%, do not respond to the treatment.
I HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION

Laser hair removal is great! It does take several sessions, but well worth it. It feels kinda like getting a tattoo. No scars for me.
