Laser hair removal permanently removes large areas of hair at a time. Waxing pulls the hair follicles out at the root. While this can destroy a very limited few hair follicles if they are pulled out completely, waxing usually just results in re-growth within a few weeks. Shaving cuts hair just below the surface of the skin. Hair typically reappears within the next 24-48 hours. Electrolysis uses an electric current to destroy hair at the root by inserting a probe into the follicle. However, electrolysis can only remove one hair at a time and often burns the area surrounding the follicle. Laser hair removal uses laser light — an intense, pulsating beam of light — to remove unwanted hair from areas where the light is targeted. When the light beam hits the hair follicle (where hair growth originates), the intense heat destroys the hair follicle instantly for areas that can be as small as an upper lip or as large as an entire leg. |
