Laser Hair Removal - Finally!  There really is a magic Wand!
{Back to Laser Main Page}

 What are the advantages over electrolysis? With electrolysis, the operator inserts a needle into the hair shaft with the intension of reaching the follicle, then sends a small electrical charge designed to disable the follicle.  The operator then removes that particular hair with tweezers.  Hair removal is much faster with a laser as the laser is pulsed about once per second across the surface of the skin.  Each "pulse" of laser light disables a large number of hair follicles.  

Electrolysis operators can only treat those hairs that they can see and which they can reach the follicle through the hair shaft.  A laser treats any "active" follicle , even if the hair has not yet reached the surface of the skin, or if the hair shaft is not straight.
