Hair Removal System : All you need to know about the hair removal system for getting rid of unwanted and problem hair temporarily or permanently.
To handle the arduous task of removing hair daily or weekly, many people decide to use a hair removal system for a more permanent solution. While permanent hair removal solutions are expensive and take time to achieve, they last for several years or more and can improve your daily quality of life. The three most popular treatments are laser, intense pulsed light and electrology.
Traditionally, electrology (or electrolysis) was the only permanent hair removal treatment. This method involved destroying each hair one by one. As you can imagine, this takes a long time. For example, using electrology to remove facial hair can take anywhere from one to four years depending on skin and hair type. Not surprisingly, this hair removal system lost its popularity when laser hair removal and intense pulsed light (IPL) came on the scene from the mid-1990s. IPL is the cheapest and fastest of the 'permanent' treatments, but lasts about the same duration of several years. Laser hair removal is the most popular, however, despite its cost and the fact that several sessions are usually needed to achieve complete hair removal. Despite their popularity, neither IPL nor laser can claim to permanently remove hair, and therefore electrology has made a bit of a comeback particularly in removing facial hair.
So choosing the best hair removal system for you comes down to selecting between one of these three methods. However you should take plenty of time in making your decision and consult your doctor, a dermatologist as well as several hair removal clinics before deciding anything. Each person's skin and hair type is different and requires different specialized lasers, lights or electrodes. An unlicensed or inexperienced 'specialist' can cause permanent unsightly damage to your skin that, while not medically severe, can cause dark or light blotching and even scaring from burns.
