Remove Unwanted Hair

One option for those seeking to remove unwanted hair is electrolysis. In this approach, a very thin probe is inserted into the hair follicle. The heart of the follicle is then destroyed with chemical or heat energy.

With electrolysis, several visits are necessary. This has to do with the fact that hair grows in cycles, and it's essential to treat each cycle if the treatment is to be a success. The total number of treatments needed to remove unwanted hair permanently will vary from person to person. For most individuals, each treatment session has a duration of between 15 to 60 minutes.

In the past, many have avoided electrolysis, based on reports that it is very painful. In fact, modern electrolysis is not painful at all. Those who have experienced it compare the discomfort to a mild tingling. A topical anesthetic may be used to further ease the process.

Remove Unwanted Hair: Laser Treatment Options

The big drawback to using electrolysis to remove unwanted hair is that it can be very time-consuming. Each follicle has to be individually threaded and zapped. If a large area, such as the back, is being treated, this process can drag on forever.

A popular option for those seeking to treat larger areas is laser therapy. This approach is even less painful than electrolysis, and it gets the job done in less time. Like electrolysis, laser therapy can get expensive, but it does offer permanent results.

NuU Medspa offers a host of treatment options for those interested in removing unwanted hair via laser therapy. A free consultation can help determine which approach is right for you.
