Therefore, your first sessions will account for the longest of all the clearings. Each follow up clearing will involve less time as there are progressively fewer hairs to be treated.

Did you know electrolysis is the only method that can permanently remove unwanted hair? Waxing and shaving may work on areas of the body that are seasonally exposed think: legs and underarms , but when it comes to the face, a more permanent option may be worth exploring. Enter electrolysis and laser hair removal , two methods of permanent and semi-permanent hair removal that can effectively rid facial hair.
But what's the difference, and which will perform better? To gain some intel, we consulted with two board-certified dermatologists, Zain Husain and Sharleen St. Surin-Lord, who filled us in about everything relating to electrolysis and laser facial hair removal. Meet the Expert. Read on to learn more about electrolysis, laser hair removal, and which one is the right option for you.
Electrolysis is a cosmetic procedure for removing unwanted hair. According to Husain, it uses a thin metal probe to deliver a low-level electrical pulse to each undesired hair follicle and stops new hair growth. Does electrolysis work? Our experts gave a resounding 'yes,' touting the procedure for its ability to make the skin hair-free for good. Though electrolysis requires lengthy sessions 15 to 60 minutes spaced one month apart for roughly 12 to 30 sessions in total , St.
Surin-Lord maintains that results are considered to be permanent since the hair follicle is destroyed by the electric current. Plus, it's also safe to use on finer areas of the face like the eyebrows. Unlike electrolysis, Husain explains that laser hair removal uses specific wavelengths of light to target the melanin in dark hair follicles in a desired area.
And because the laser selectively targets the melanin in the hair, St. Surin-Lord says it only works on dark brown or black hairs and not grey, red, or blonde hairs. Depending on how well you tolerate pain, many find laser hair removal more tolerable than electrolysis, comparing the pain of laser hair removal to a rubber band snapping. Still, Husain says that there would be some discomfort due to the heat from the laser pulses. Surin-Lord praises laser hair removal for its ability to give a desired outcome quicker than electrolysis.
Also, laser hair removal is much less tedious and time-consuming than electrolysis. It all depends on your skin tone and how permanent of a result you're looking for. We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but as with most beauty procedures, both electrolysis and laser hair removal come with some risks. I don't try to angle my face anymore like I used to, to disguise the hair.
I don't look in the mirror and cry anymore about how I look. I feel emotionally lighter and happier in my everyday life. My family has told me I seem to have this glow about me now. I no longer have to wear so much makeup and can show off my skin to the world without the embarrassment I used to feel.
I decided to change careers after seeing that the treatment really worked. I went to school to become certified and graduated at the top of my class. I learned about the different types of electrolysis treatments, which method is best to use in what circumstances, and how to properly insert the probe and determine the pitch and depth. I studied skin and hair follicles and factors that contribute to hair growth in detail.
I am also currently studying to become a licensed esthetician. I'm happy to be helping others gain confidence and achieve the looks that they want. It means so much to me, especially since I come from a long hair journey.
I'm extremely passionate about what I do and take pride in my work. Today, I see myself as a beautiful woman who is more emotionally and physically confident. My outlook on life has become more positive.
Being able to conquer my facial hair has taught me that difficult challenges in life can be very fulfilling and internally rewarding. The journey was long, with lots of emotions along the way. I feel I came out on the other side stronger mentally, hair-free, and more prepared for other challenges that life might have in store for me. View On One Page. Photo 0 of 4.
