One - Two Punch
Laser & Electrolysis Knock Out Unwanted Hair
permanent hair removal specialist will
recommend that you use a
combination of laser and electrolysis
to achieve the smooth hair free results
that you desire.
During electrolysis, a tiny probe is
inserted into the skin. The probe is
placed into an individual hair follicle
that holds one hair. Then, a low-level
electrical energy pulse is sent into the
follicle to destroy it. The existing hair
falls out, and the process is repeated
hair by hair. Those who opt for
electrolysis may need to return for
treatment between 10 and 20 times to

ike a weed, it sprouts up and
spreads out. It grows quickly,
moving from your head to your
back, down your legs, over your arms
and YIKES....onto your face. Hair can be
beautiful, but when it creeps onto other
body parts like your upper lip, chin and
back, it can be more embarrassing than
attractive. Hair growth is natural, but
some people will grow more hair than
others due to age, hormonal imbalance
or other factors. From shaving to waxing
to plucking, you can find several hair
removal methods designed to help you
remove unwanted hair. Unfortunately,
these methods are only temporary; that
hair will return before you know it,
whether you like it or not.
If you're sick and tired of the unwanted
hair and want to get rid of it FOREVER,
you may want to consider laser hair
removal and/or electrolysis . Electrolysis
is a cosmetic procedure developed more
than 100 years ago to treat people with
in-grown eyelashes, and has been used
all over the body since. Electrolysis
doesn't just remove the hair—it destroys
the hair follicle that produces the hair. A
hair follicle destroyed by electrolysis (or
laser) will never produce a hair (or
bother you) again.
Electrolysis and lasers are both popular
hair removal methods that can remove
hair on most areas of the body. Though
they have some similarities, these two
methods come with different
requirements, and different results. In
most laser treatments some very fine
dark hair and any hair lacking pigment
may be left behind. In these cases your

destroy all the unwanted hair,
depending on the amount of unwanted
hair. With modern electrolysis the
discomfort level is minimal. If you are

or tweeze your brows again!
Unlike electrolysis, which uses electric
energy to destroy follicles, laser hair
removal employs pulsating light
beams. The light is aimed at the hair
follicle where it heats the melanin in
the hair. When melanin is heated, it
causes the hair follicle to stop
producing hair. However, laser hair
removal doesn't work for very light and
very fine hair. If your hair is a good
candidate for laser, you may need six
to eight treatments, each treatment
spaced about a month apart.
Whichever method you choose, it is
important that your hair removal
specialist is well trained, licensed and
certified. When you choose to come to
Incentives for your permanent hair
removal treatments, you can be
assured that you will be treated by a
specialist with the proper credentials
