I'm a big advocate of laser hair removal over electrolysis when looking for a permanent hair removal system. The advancements in laser hair removal have been amazing over the past few years and the technology continues to get better. I stumbled across this great little blog post comparing laser hair removal and electrolysis. It does a good job comparing them and really shows the advantages if laser hair removal.
There is a big variance between the methods used for these two techniques. Electrolysis hair removal is an invasive procedure in which a needle penetrates the skin into the hair follicle. In contrast the laser hair removal treatment procedure is a non-invasive procedure using no needle to be placed in the body. The only thing passing through the skin is the laser beam. In electrolysis, the electric current flowing through the needle can produce an electric jolt but laser hair removal treatment cannot produce such dangers.
Laser hair removal has really become a booming industry over the last ten years or so and is really taken a huge leap ahead of electrolysis. There are so many benefits of it over electrolysis, as pointed out in the article I linked to, it's no wonder most people are going with the laser solution. And the technology continues to get better.
