Hair removal...........?

I have been researching this topic. Electrolysis is the only real permanent solution to hair loss, because it destroys the hair follicle. However, because all hair has both active and dormant growth stages, it may take multiple visits to get an area completely clear of hair. As some hairs are destroyed, others will enter active growth phases, and will also need to be removed. However, despite that fact, it is permanent.

Everything I have read about laser removal says it is actually a semi-permanent solution to hair removal. Hair may come back several years down the road and need to be zapped again. One of the things I read said you can pretty much count on needing to go in periodically for the rest of your life for touchups.

There is another consideration about laser removal of which you should be aware. I have olive skin, and no professional will guarantee the results of laser removal for me. I mean they can guarantee the hair will be removed, but they cannot guarantee that the laser won't leave dark patches on my skin. The problem is that they have no way of knowing by looking at your skin if you will form the dark patches or not. Plenty of people with dark skin have the procedure done and don't get any hyperpigmentation, but many others do get the dark spots. I asked if the spots are noticeable, and was told they are very noticeable, and that there is no way to remove them. Since I cannot get a guarantee that I won't end up with brown spots on my face, I won't be considering that method of hair removal anymore.

Neither method, if done by a professional, will damage your skin. The only thing that could happen is the dark patches I mentioned above, and that's only if you have a darker skin tone.

I hope that helps!

Yes, electrolysis is permanent and yes, laser hair removal is permanent. In both instances, once a follicle is destroyed it is destroyed.

Both will require touch up treatments in the future. This is because hormonal changes can cause dormant follicles to go active and because hormonal changes can cause fine hairs to become more coarse.

Electrolysis can damage the skin by causing scarring around the follicle "pore". With mutliple treatments this can make the face look "rough". Bad professionals cause more problems but I have seen scarring from the work of good professionals.

Laser can damage the skin if their is too much melanin in the skin. This is especially important for people with a tan because in a tanning situation the melanin resides only on the surface of the skin, whereas, people with untanned darker skin tones have an even dispursement of melanin through the skin. If you have dark skin, you can get a test patch to insure that you will not have a negative reaction.

I have had both. For Laser I had it 6 years ago and all of the hair is still gone. For electrolysis, I could only stand 1 procedure and you only remove 5-10% of the hair in one sitting.
