Hey, I am a 14 yr old girl with dark long arm hair. I was wondering if there is a age limit for electrolysis? Also, how can you find the right, good-trained electrologist in my area? I live in Maryland and I don’t know where to go to for? Do i have to pay for the interview? thanx.
After 10 or 12 treatments your hair will start coming back about 6-12 months later but you should have about 20% of your hair permanently gone and 80% will return. It will also make electrolysis more difficult after the hair returns.
Question:does ALL the hair come back on your face after laser hair removal or does just SOME of it come back?? Just wanted to make sure about that. Thanks. I have DARK hair by the way. Thanks again.
Home electrolysis are a waste of money. They are not strong enough and you need to be trained. You ca n damage your skin. Just remember the old saying “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”!!!
Can you use at home electolysis kits? What do you need to look for? which ones are most effective? Thanks.
nicely presented xxxx Jim
1. electrolysis works on all hair colors
2. electrolysis won’t affect tattoos
2 other questions…
1. Is electrolysis able to remove blonde hair or does it only target dark pigment like laser?
2. Can electrolysis remove hair over tattooed areas without removing the actual ink like laser?
No, it will take longer to have your hair removed with electrolysis. Electrolysis is less painful but there is a lot more of it. when you have your hair removed by laser it will start growing back in 6-12 months. once your hair is removed by electrolysis it is gone permanently.
So basically If I just forget about removing my facial hair with laser and just go straight with electrolysis, will my hair be permanently removed for life at the same time being less painful than laser removal????
Ah, good advice.
Thanks for answering my question.
Your right, it does get expensive. What I recommend to my transgender patients is to remove their facial hair with electrolysis and have the body hair done with laser. The reason is that because body hair is much thinner and weaker laser is more effective. After about 10-15 sessions, you may get 50 long term to permanent hair removal and on the legs from that point get an epilator and use it once every week or 2 and the legs will look fine.
This was a very informative video, nice to actually hear it from a professional.
The only real downside I see with electrolysis is the sheer cost of getting large areas of body hair removed.
I’ve heard it can be several thousand just to do someone’s calves. Is this correct?
Thank Julia, I’ll see what I’ll find, God Bless! ^_-
Electrolysis doesn’t hurt more after laser but it makes the electrologists job harder. I’ve never used the term standard electrolysis though I believe a person using that term is probably referring to galvanic electrolysis which hurts a lot more than thermolysis which I do, ti’s also a lot slower. Unless your hair grows very curly your better off with thermolysis.
Hi Julia, I had a question. Does electrolysis hurt a lot after you’ve done sessions of laser hair removal? I live in an area that where electrolysis is not available but laser is. I’ll probably be moving more up north to a place where they specialize in electrolysis. I would like to know how painful it can be after numerous sessions of laser. By the way , what is “standard electrolysis”? is it the same as regular electroylsis?
wonderful video, I am about to make a decision and this has helped me…ELECTROLYSIS.
Julia,
Could you get in touch to discuss a consultation? Thanks. Cheryl
That is hard to answer. Each jolt of laser is more painful but a laser session is shorter than each electrolysis session. In all it will be way less pain if you start off with electrolysis because if you do laser you will still have to do electrolysis after the hair removed by laser grows back. Remember LASER IS NOT PERMANENT YOUR HAIR WILL GROW BACK, ELECTROLYSIS IS PERMANENT!!!
Is electrolosys very painful for facial hair removal compared to laser hair removal???
Laser is usually more efficient on body hair than on facial hair but if it didn’t work at all the only thing you can do is electrolysis. As I said in my video, electrolysis is the only permanent form of hair removal!
i’ve got hair on my back and i’ve got 8 sessions of laser done on my back and i didn’t got much result. what is the best thing 2 do?? thanks a lot
Good points am a qualified electrologist and far too often have customers who have lost alot off money on laser!
hello no because a probe is inserted into an active hair root.
Really helpful. Thank you! I am looking to permanently removed only my underarm hair, but it is just good to know everything before going in for any treatment!
