Hair removal is a very popular process nowadays, especially with people’s fascination to be hair-free. There are many ways to have body hair removed, and one of the most popular is electrolysis hair removal.

There are two forms of hair removal: depilation, which is removal of the hair above the surface of the skin; and epilation, which is removal of the entire hair, including the part below the skin. Electrolysis hair removal is an epilation method of removing hair because it removes hair permanently.

When you decide to use electrolysis to remove body hair, a very fine needle-shaped probe is used to apply electric current into each hair follicle to be able to destroy the root and bulge area. There are three (modalities) of electrolysis hair removal: galvanic, thermolysis and blend, which is a combination of the two methods. These methods differ in the power supply that they use, the voltage and the current.

Among the many methods of hair removal, electrolysis has one of the best track records in terms of permanently removing hair. However, how effective it is can depend largely as well on the skill of the practitioner, so it is important to have it done  experienced centers. By well trained electrologists.

Also, just like other hair removal methods, it does not permanently remove all the hair in just one session. It needs  more  a series of sessions before all the hair can be permanently removed. Still, it has the highest rate of effectiveness when it comes to hair removal. Take note, though, that undergoing electrolysis will make you feel a stinging and pricking sensation. Although everyone has their own threshold of pain, it is still definitely less painful than going for a wax.

Another thing that makes electrolysis hair removal very popular is that it is among the safest methods of hair removal. This method has been around much longer than other permanent hair removal methods there are  no other methods of permanent hair removal and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration and other health organizations. It is rare to get any skin scarring with this method. It is also used on any part of the body that has hair, even the more sensitive parts like the face, breasts and stomach. Except inside the nose and inside the ears.

Many people choose to have their hairs permanently removed because it can actually save them more money, despite the fact that most methods of hair removal can be costly.you compare the costs of several sessions of electrolysis hair removal with the years of spending on waxing, hair removal creams, et cetera, it will easily show you that you would still spend less for the permanent hair removal.

Of course, one of the best perks of having hair removed permanently is the convenience of being hair-free. Many people love the fact that they don’t have to shave everyday or wax every few weeks. There is no need to put up with unsightly body hair for the rest of your life. For some people, that simple fact is enough for them to go for an electrolysis hair removal.

American Electrology Association, established at 1958. Electrolysis is still the only true permanent hair removal method and the only permanent treatment recognized by the FDA. Electrolysis eliminates any hair and treats all skin types. A century of use has proven electrolysis safe with no negative side effects. No other hair removal method can claim such universal success. Professional electrologists are educated in the latest treatment and technological protocols.

The desire for a fuzz free body has recently sparked a growing interest in hair removal services.  Women have shave their legs and under their arms for generations and waxing, sugaring, and other methods of hair removal have been around a while too and these methods are now used on more body parts than ever and by men as well as women. It’s no surprise that technology has found a way to step into this growing part of the beauty industry as well by introducing us to the concept of laser hair removal.

The cheapest way to remove unwanted hair is probably still a razor.  It has the advantage of requiring no power, can be done at home, and rarely requires assistance unless the hair is in a hard to reach place such as the back.  A disposable razor can be bought for less than a quarter a piece so using a new one every day for a year could keep the body hair free for under a $100.  The down side is the twenty minutes it takes to shave ‘everyday’.

Waxing and other professional hair removal services such as sugaring and threading are not required as frequently.  The cost of waxing is dependent on the size and complexity of the area to be waxed and on the provider of the waxing service. A small area such as the chin or upper lip can cost fewer than $20 while a leg or back wax might easily be priced at $150.  These methods are repeated at 2 to 4 week intervals depending on the growth rate of the hair in the waxed area.  At a mid-range price of $60 and a schedule of once every three weeks, that adds up to over $1,000 a year to stay smooth.  The down side is that the hair has to grow back out to a shaggy fuzz between each service.

Laser hair removal, like waxing, is often priced based on the size of the area being treated and the provider of the service. A single treatment on the lower legs (ankle to knee) can cost anywhere from $80 to $300 dollars depending on the provider. It takes 5 to 15 treatments over an extended period of time to see the results of laser treatments. The length of time between treatments is based on the growth cycles of the hair being removed so treatments are performed about once a month. Assuming mid-range price of $150 a treatment and 10 treatments that would mean it would take 10 months and $1,500 to have fuzz free lower legs. 

This makes laser treatments seem the more costly approach to hair removal. But looking at the costs over a three year time frame changes the picture. At one year out the cost of using a razor everyday would be cost $100 and take 121 hours, waxing would cost $1,000 and take 17 hours, and laser treatments would cost $1,500 and take 10 hours.  Move the calendar out three years and shaving cost $300 and uses up 363 hours, waxing costs $3,000 and uses up 52 hours, while laser treatments have still only cost $1,500 and taken up 10 hours.

Anyone considering laser hair removal should consider their hair removal goals and find out from their provider how effective the treatments are likely to be for them. Dark hair and light skin is the best combination for hair removal. Blonde and grey hair is mostly unresponsive to laser removal treatments. Dark skin usually calls for extra treatment sessions. 

The only person that can decide if laser hair removal is worth the price is the person getting the treatments. Someone that is a good candidate for the service will save time and money in the long term. Someone that is a bad candidate will be throwing both away.
