How Does Electrolysis Compare to Laser Therapy?

Laser hair removal works by generating heat to cauterize hair follicles, but it lacks the precision to efficiently target individual follicles. As a result, only a portion of the follicles are impacted during each session, making the results less reliable compared to Electrolysis.

While laser treatments can cause some hairs to grow back lighter and finer, the follicles remain active, and in some cases, laser therapy may even stimulate new hair growth, known as paradoxical hypertrichosis.

Another limitation of laser therapy is that it’s less effective on darker skin tones and offers poor results for individuals with blond, white, or red hair. In contrast, Electrolysis works on all skin types and hair colors, making it a more versatile and permanent solution for hair removal.

Electrolysis & PCOS: A Permanent Solution for Unwanted Hair

Smooth, hair-free skin can boost confidence and self-esteem, but for many women with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), excessive hair growth can be a difficult issue.

PCOS often causes unwanted hair, especially on the face, chest, or breasts, typically starting around puberty. Temporary hair removal methods may provide short-term results, but the hair usually grows back, often thicker and more noticeable. Repeated use of tweezing, waxing, threading, or laser treatments can also lead to skin irritation and pigmentation changes.

Excessive hair growth, or hirsutism, is often linked to hormonal imbalances. Electrologists are trained to recognize this condition and may suggest consulting a doctor if needed. During a consultation, they assess hair growth patterns and other factors to provide the best solution.

Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal, effective on all skin types and hair colors. Skilled professionals use advanced techniques to ensure a comfortable and lasting treatment. Sessions can range from 15 minutes to over an hour, depending on the amount of hair to be removed.

Electrolysis treatment is the only only proven method for permanent hair removal approved by the FDA . Electrolysis treatment is highly effective and provides permanent results for all skin and hair colors and types.

Electrolysis and Stages of Hair Growth.

Some clients are surprised to learn that multiple electrolysis treatments sessions are needed to achieve desired results.

There is a lengthy scientific explanation as to why several sessions are needed, but it basically comes down to the fact that hair grows in different stages. At any given time, there are hair follicles with visible hairs and dormant hair follicles, where hair hasn't yet reached the skins surface.

To give an example, it can be helpful to look in the mirror. Perhaps you have some hair growing above your upper lip. While you might have lots of hair follicles in this area, not every hair follicle will have a hair growing out of it at this particular moment.

When you visit Amber Waves Electrology I will treat the visible hairs but dormant hair follicles will need to be worked on during later visits. We need to treat each hair follicle to give the hair free look you're hopping for.

How Many Sessions Will it take?

In terms of treatment length, it's important to note that achieving permanent hair removal typically requires multiple sessions, as the number of treatments varies depending on individual factors. Generally, clients may need weekly or biweekly appointments, lasting up to a year or even longer for some. The overall duration will depend on the area being treated and the type of hair, with larger or coarser hair areas usually needing more sessions.

How Much Does Electrolysis Cost?

Electrolysis treatments are billed by the hour, so how much Electrolysis costs is contingent upon the area being treated and how much hair you have. But, as an estimate, with Amber Waves Electrology I charge $100 per hour. If you're treating a small area, like your eyebrows, your session may only take 30-45 minutes, while a bigger area like your legs can take upwards of eight hours at first ( though your session would likely be split into two-hour sessions across four weeks). Because Electrolysis only kills about 35% of hair follicles per session on average, the cost can vary drastically between treatment areas.

Why Do I Need So Many Electrolysis Treatments?

Hairs have different growth cycles. Your hair follicle produces hair and discards it trough shedding. This hair production cycle is a process of growth, Rest and replacement. Individual hairs are in different phases of this cycle. More than one treatment is needed in order to catch the hairs at the right point in the cycle to destroy them.

How Long Has Electrology Been Registered by The FDA?

The FDA has registered Electrolysis as a permanent hair removal method since 1875, when Dr. Charles E. Michel first introduced it. As of 2007, the FDA recognizes Electrolysis as the only permanent method of hair removal.

How Long Does Each Electrolysis Treatment Last?

An Electrolysis treatment lasts anywhere between 15 minutes and 2 hours.

Why Choose Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is the only true permanent hair removal method and the only permanent treatment recognized by the FDA. Electrology is the science of permanent hair removal. using state-of-the-art technology, a minute amount of electricity is gently applied to the base of the hair follicle. This process destroys the hair growth tissue. Therefore, the regenerative ability of the hair follicle is permanently eliminated.

Unlike laser, Electrolysis works on any hair type color, texture, and skin type!

What Causes Unwanted Hair Growth?

There are many potential factors causing unwanted hair growth, including hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, as well as medical conditions that cause hormonal imbalances (such as conditions affecting the endocrine glands.)

heredity factors and genetics can play an important role in determining hair density, texture and thickness.

in addition, some medications and factors such as stress, diet and age can also cause unwanted hair growth, as well as some temporary hair removal methods that ca stimulate or accelerate hair growth

Will it Hurt?

The level of discomfort you experience will depend on the area being treated and your sensitivity threshold. At Amber Waves Electrology your electrologist is very careful and gentle. She works with precision to help minimize any discomfort.

Does Electrolysis Affect Sweat Glands?

Electrolysis targets the germinative cells that cause hair growth, and it may also affect sweat glands within hair follicles. This can result in reduced underarm odor, as the body reabsorbs sweat that would have been released through these follicles. However, because Electrolysis primarily affects sweat glands in hair follicles, you'll still sweat, just to a lesser degree.
