Laser Hair Removal Vs. Electrolysis - Which is Best?

Both laser hair removal and electrolysis can be effective treatments.  Some important considerations are:
-LASER hair is much faster than electrolysis.  Laser hair removal of the back can take as little as 15 minutes.  Electrolysis will take at least 4 hours for this area
-Laser hair is much cheaper than electrolysis since it is much more efficient
-Electrolysis can treat blonde and white hair, laser hair removal can not
-Laser hair can only target hair in anagen phase, while electrolysis targets all hairs regardless of phase

Electrolysis is still the Gold Standard in treating hair with no dark melanin such as gray, white, blonde, red and light brown. It is a great treatment for those small areas with light hair such as upper lip, chin, face and men's ears. Laser Hair Removal for dark hair is fast and efficient in reducing and removing that unwanted hair. 

Thank you for your question. A wide variety of medical lasers and light systems are used to remove unwanted hair, however most lasers are not effective for all skin types and hair colors. The Elos laser hair removal system is designed for permanent hair reduction by combining both optical and radiofrequency energy to deliver satisfying, longer lasting results with less discomfort than previous laser systems. All skin and all hair colors including gray and blonde hair are effectively treated. Faces, backs, arms, legs, faces, and bikini lines can be treated including those individuals with darkly pigmented skin. Treatments are administered every 4 weeks and generally 3 to 5 treatments are sufficient. Best of luck!
