First let us understand our body hair. They grow from inside of our skin, in structures called follicle. The hair grows from inside the skin to the outside, with the upper part visible to us. Shaving only removes the upper part and it will not stop the follicle from growing new hair every time. That is why constant shaving is needed.

So in order to kill the follicles, we need to have treatment to target them directly. Two popular treatment that works well are electrolysis and laser treatment. Different factors will decide which treatment works better for an individual.

Let’s see the difference – Electrolysis vs Laser Hair Removal:

During eletrolysis, a small needle which is hooked up to a machine will be inserted into your skin. When it is in contact with the follicle, a small jolt of electricity is then released to burn and kill the follicle.

This method works well but since it is targeting the follicle individually, it is a slow and steady process. So usually this treatment is done on the face or other areas with the hair scattered all around.

Meanwhile for laser treatment, it can target multiple follicles at once. The laser identifies the follicles under the skin based on its darker pigmentation compared to the lighter-colored skin. This treatment is suitable for areas with a high density of hair growth like the arms and the back.

With that in mind, it is obvious that the laser treatment works well if you have dark hair and light skin color. Those with blonde or gray hair would find the electrolysis treatment works better.

The hairs on our body follow their own different cycle. Some parts of the hair might be actively growing while the others are in a paused mode. The laser meanwhile can only target the root of the hair that is actively growing so the others will survive the process. This is why a few sessions of laser treatment are needed so that the different sessions will target a different group of hairs in their growing cycle.

These treatments are affordable and the cost are influenced by several factors, obviously by size of the skin are to be treated and the type of treatment chosen. For example electrolysis treatment on the face is cheaper if compared to the back treatment.

The laser hair removal treatment are charged per session. A report released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons revealed that the average price of laser treatment is $429.

For electrolysis, different areas would have different cost. The face area cost an average of $40 while the back area can cost up to $300 per session, with the sessions numbering somewhere from 3 to 20.

After you have removed the unwanted hair, now you can show them off. If they are your back then have a nice looking tribal design tattoo using temporary airbrush tattoo ink.

The fastest and easiest way to get rid of body hair, is to shave. However, downsides of shaving are the development of stubbles. If you want to do some facial hair removal, you should definitely NOT revert to this technique, as it will make your face feel like your dads cheeks. Also, shaving does not have long lasting effects. You will have to keep shaving quite often to have a smooth skin, and buying razor blades can be quite expensive over the years.

Waxing is very effective, but also painful, especially in the beginning. After a while, the hairs on your skin will be easier to remove, which makes this method a lot less painful. It can be a bit pricey to have this done in a salon, but might be advisable in the beginning, since you want to be sure to have it done right at first, and get some experience with it. The wax is applied at a hot temperature, so you don’t want to start out yourself and burn your skin in the process.

The last methods to discuss is laser hair removal or IPL hair removal. These are a methods with permanent results. They’re used by targeting hair follicles directly, and damage them with a laser beam. They’re the best advised methods for semi permanent facial hair removal, as they are a one time procedure without the negative effects of the other solutions. They can be quite costly, up to 600 dollars per session. However, in the long run they can be cheaper than the aforementioned solutions.

So what type of hair removal is best for you?

SHAVING: During World War II, shaving became quite popular due to the shortage of nylon stockings at the height of the “bare legs” trend. Shaving is considered to be the most convenient way of getting rid of unwanted body hair. It’s cheap and fast. Shaving is recommended on your legs and underarms. This method is usually pain- free when you use a sharp blade and a shaving cream, oil, or lotion. The effect usually lasts up to 3 days then stubble starts to appear on the shaved area.

WAXING: Waxing is another famous hair removal method. Waxing involves putting warm wax on a portion of the skin and letting it cool to make the hairs attach to the wax. The wax is then pulled off in the opposite direction that the hair is growing resulting to pulling out of hairs by their roots. This process can be done at home or in the salon depending on your preference.

The advantages of waxing are that it can be done quickly and it is affordable if you choose to do it at home. The effect can last up to two weeks or longer, making it one of the hair removal methods that have longer effects. The drawback is that for this method to be effective, your hair should be at least 1/4 inch long to ensure that they would have a firmer grip on the wax.

TWEEZING: Tweezing is the method that is highly recommended for the eyebrows. This method is usually done in- between waxing or threading to remove growing hairs. For this method to be effective, the hair should be long enough to be grasped by your tweezers so you better invest on reliable tweezers for best results.

THREADING: Threading is a famous method patronized by beauty experts and highly recommend for the brows. This method is usually done by an aesthetician who uses a double stranded thread made of cotton to twist and twirl around hairs then pull them out from the roots. This process usually takes 5 to 10 minutes to get done. The chin, eyebrows, and upper lip are considered to be the best sites for threading.

ELECTROLYSIS: Electrolysis focuses on zapping one hair at a time which guarantees that it is far more effective in removing unwanted body hair compared to lasers. Although it is more expensive, more painful, and takes longer to perform compared to laser treatments, most customers who undergo this procedure are quite satisfied with the results.

LASER: Laser treatment is not recommended for everyone. Lasers are only effective on people who have dark hair and light skin because lasers target the melanin on our skin which are mostly found on people with dark hair. Laser treatments aren’t as painful when compared to waxing but are more painful than tweezing and depilatory creams. After laser treatments, there is about 80% of reduction on hair growth. This treatment should be done under the supervision of an experienced technician to avoid any lasting side effects from occurring.
