Why to Choose Laser Hair Removal Instead of Electrolysis

laser hair removal nj

Laser hair removal (IPL hair removal) and electrolysis are two popular types of long-term hair removal methods. Both work to remove unwanted hair by targeting hair follicles located under the skin’s surface. They both have a lot of similarities, but there are a lot of differences. Both treatments offer permanent hair reduction – with the main different being only one hair follicle at a time can be treated with Electrolysis and with Laser Hair Removal (IPL hair removal) multiple hair follicles can be treated with one zap.

The light from the laser is attracted to the dark pigment in the hair, so the energy pulls into the hair and travels down it to reach the follicle. Laser hair removal may be done just about anywhere on the face and body. There is also little-to-no recovery time involved. You can resume your normal activities after each procedure.

Electrolysis works by destroying the root of each hair at the follicle with an electric current. And whereas laser hair removal is not always the best option for certain types of hair or skin, electrolysis can work for any type. However, because this type of removal deals with only one hair at a time, it can take much longer to complete (15 to 30 sessions).

If you are looking to permanently deal with a large patch of unwanted hair and are on a limited budget, your best bet will usually be laser hair removal (IPL hair removal), as it will be a lot less expensive over a large area compared to electrolysis. If you want to deal with a smaller area, electrolysis will generally be the better choice, especially in sensitive areas, and will more often than not represent better value than laser removal on a small job.

It is advisable to come for a consultation to find out if you are a good candidate for laser or electrolysis. Many clinics offer free consultations.
