Unwanted hair growth most time is a source of concern.
Two very effective solutions are, “ Electrolysis and the use of lasers.”

Which is more effective and safer?
Are they similar in any way? Are they different?
These are questions most people ask.
And answers to these and many other will be provided in this article.
ELECTROLYSIS VS LASER HAIR REMOVAL
A comparison of these hair removal procedures would be done in three steps;
• First we would look at the similarities between both procedures.
• Then, the differences between both procedures.
• And finally the cost of each procedure.
ELECTROLYSIS VS LASER HAIR REMOVAL: SIMILARITIES
Both hair removal techniques;
• Are suitable for removing unwanted hair.
• Removes unwanted hair by targeting the hair follicles.
• Require multiple treatment sessions.
• Cannot be paid for and is not covered by insurance.
This is because it is seen as a cosmetic procedure.
• Both procedures are relatively safe.
• Both procedures can be carried out at home.
ELECTROLYSIS VS LASER HAIR REMOVAL: DIFFERENCES
1. During this E.H.R., a device is inserted into a single skin pore housing unwanted hair strands.
Then a low electrical current is released into the skin pore.
The electrical current would destroy the hair follicle, thereby preventing future hair growth.
But, for an L.H.R.
If this procedure is to be carried out at a hospital.
A high-heat laser is directed at the skin, adjusted and then mild radiation is used to remove hair from the hair follicles.
But, if it is to be carried out at home.
There are a number of effective laser hair removal products.
These laser hair removal products work similarly to the lasers used in a clinic.
2. The E.H.R., is a Permanent hair removal procedure approved by the USA’S Food and drug administration.
The L H.R. is believed to carry out somewhat permanent hair removal.
But, is not formally recognized.

But, hair removal via the L.H.R., is, “ Relatively permanent.”

5. E.H.R. is suitable for any body part.
Including areas close to the eye.
The L.H.R. is also suitable for most body parts.
But, is not recommended for use in areas close to the eyes.

The cost of both procedures is dependent on;
• The number of hair strands to be treated.
• Location of unwanted hair.

• Clinic where both procedures are carried out, amongst others.

On the other hand.
