Laser and electrolysis compliment each other!
Laser and electrolysis are the only methods of permanent hair removal. Laser is defined by the FDA as ‘permanent hair reduction’ while Electrolysis is defined as ‘permanent hair removal’. This is confusing. Laser and electrolysis both effectively destroy hair by delivering heat to the hair root. Laser is capable of much more efficient hair destruction than electrolysis is, so why is it defined as ‘reduction’? Simply because laser can only destroy pigmented hairs and so the light/fine hairs remain. Electrolysis can kill all colours, but is really just used in cases where only red or fine hair is present, or when treating a small number of dark hairs. (say 50 or less).
Laser is faster, more economical in most cases, and there’s less discomfort. In fact, with our latest laser, the Gentle Max Pro which offers both Alexandrite and Yag wavelengths, we can promise you will be truly be amazed. A little spritz of cryogen precedes each laser pulse and it effectively masks the heat of the laser! We love our laser and you will too!
