Laser or Electrolysis?

When it comes to long-term hair removal, laser and electrolysis are two of the most talked-about options—but they aren’t one-size-fits-all. In fact, for some people, electrolysis isn’t just the better choice—it’s the only choice.

Here’s why:

🔹 Hair Color Matters
Laser hair removal works by targeting pigment in the hair. That means it’s most effective on dark hair and lighter skin tones. If you have blonde, red, gray, or white hair, laser will not work at all. Electrolysis, however, doesn’t rely on pigment. It uses a tiny electrical current to destroy the follicle directly—regardless of hair color or skin tone.

🔹 Permanent Results
Laser offers “permanent reduction,” which means you might still see some regrowth over time. Electrolysis is FDA-approved for permanent hair removal, making it the only method that guarantees complete destruction of the follicle when done properly.

🔹 Precision
Electrolysis treats one follicle at a time, making it ideal for smaller areas like the upper lip, chin, or jawline.

Bottom line: If you're looking for a forever solution, laser isn’t the answer. Electrolysis is.
