Laser Hair Removal / Electrolysis - What's the difference?

Hi,

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between laser hair removal and electrolysis?

Hi Candyfloss and welcome to the forum :)

Electrolysis and laser hair removal both work by killing off the hair follice or root. Or trying to kill it off ... sometimes it takes a number of treatments before the hair stops growing back!

With electrolysis they use a needle to direct electricity to the hair follice, while lasers target the follicle without the need to have anything physically stuck into your skin!

Good luck!
