Illinois Easy Hair Removal Treatments

Technically, there is only one form of permanent hair removal: electrolysis. However, it doesn't have to be the only option for those seeking a long-lasting solution to unwanted growth.

Two Types of Permanent Hair Removal

Because each follicle is targeted individually in electrolysis, the technician can guarantee, after a course of treatments, that the procedure has been effective against every single follicle. The quality of the treatment depends very heavily on the technician performing the procedure. It is very easy to miss the intended follicle, making return trips more likely. It's also time-consuming.

In laser hair removal, the technician has more leeway. The machine itself will target the root if placed over the correct general area. This makes treatment much faster. Although around 90 percent of patients see permanent results, 10 percent won't, so the process cannot be referred to as permanent hair removal. It also cannot be used everywhere. Because the process requires that the patient wear protective eyewear, it cannot be used to shape the eyebrows, although some beams are narrow enough to treat the area between the eyebrows. Still, it is easier to use a different method in that particular situation.
