  • For large portions of the body, laser is the way to go – it is efficient and does a great job of hair reduction. I use a Candela device that has a freezing device that chills the skin, making it more comfortable for the patients.
  • Electrolysis is ok for small areas and for hair that is fair.
  • IPL is getting better for hair reduction but most devices are not powerful enough to really do the job.
