Unwanted body hair can be difficult to remove and care for. Modern laser hair removal technology has made hair removal easier as compared to traditional techniques. Laser hair removal is effective and safe to remove unwanted body hair using laser energy or frequency. Electrolysis is another type of hair removal in which hair growth is disrupted using shortwave radio frequency instead of laser light.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is an effective and safe method to remove unwanted body hair using laser energy. The laser energy prevents further growth of the new hair follicle as the laser of different wavelengths penetrates the skin and destroys the melanin pigment that is contained in the hair follicle.

What is electrolysis?

Electrolysis is also a hair removal technique that uses small electric needles to damage the hair follicles and prevent new hair from growing. Multiple electrolysis sessions may be necessary to get the hairless skin you want as the skin contains a lot of hair follicles and dormant hair follicles can grow between sessions.

Advantages of laser hair removal over electrolysis:

Laser hair treatment covers a wider area because lasers are available in various head sizes and emit light waves every second.

Another benefit of laser hair removal is that you can shave between procedures and it works well even with short hair. The goal of laser hair treatment is melanin in the hair roots. This treatment is also aimed at ingrown hairs and is effective for all skin and hair types, as the laser equipment has different wavelengths and light frequencies for the treatment of dark skin and fine hair.

The side effects of electrolysis treatment include swelling, redness, ingrown hairs, scabies, dry skin, and inflammation. The side effects of laser hair removal treatments include pink, swollen, and red skin.
