Laser hair removal followed by electrolysis to remove 100% of hair? I am a 26 year old male with olive skin and black body hair.

This is difficult to answer without an in-person evaluation to determine if you're a candidate. However,  I typically have patients do laser hair removal every 4 weeks for the first 3 times and then every 4-6 weeks for 3 times after. This schedule gives great results with hair removal. Some patients do require treatments to maintain results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser hair removal expert. Best, Dr. Emer

LHR reduces the number of hairs that grows. It just doesn't remove them all. It is the most effective way to remove large numbers of hairs quickly. As you have found out, electrolysis is a slow tedious process that is also painful. I agree with the recommendations if you want 100% removal, laser than electrolysis. Laser hair removal is more effective on thick hairs, so in the bikini area and underarms, it is highly effective.
