So you’ve read about the advantages and disadvantages of shaving, waxing and depilatories, but you’d want to hear more about more efficient methods, like electrolysis or laser hair removal. Here’s a short presentation of those two more long-term hair removal solutions:

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is an ideal solution for people looking for a permanent solution to hair removal, and have only a small area where you want hair removed. However, you must consider the fact that many people find it painful and that it requires several sessions during which a professional inserts a needle into the hair follicle, zapping it with an electric current and killing the root. A big disadvantage is also the price: electrolysis is the most expensive method of all and it takes the most time.

Laser Hair Removal

Hair removal lasers have been in use since 1997 and has been approved for “permanent hair reduction” in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Laser hair removal has become extremely popular because of its speed and efficacy, although some of the efficacy is dependent upon the skill and experience of the laser operator, and the choice and availability of different laser technology at the clinic which is performing the procedure. Basically, laser hair removal is the most high-tech method in removing unwanted hair for longer and even indefinite periods of time. Other advantages: it is effective, precise and cost efficient. You must also know that some of the best clinics where you can undergo this procedure are in Chicago. So, if you’re nearby, you may go and pay a visit.
