Hair and Beauty Tips

Electrolysis hair removal is a great option for many people. For example, the best uses I’ve seen for the procedure is for women who want to remove unsightly hair from their upper lip, chin or jawline. Facial hair on women is extremely embarrassing so any procedure that can remove that hair permanently using a completely non-invasive procedure gets my vote. However, there are some disadvantages to electrolysis hair removal that you should strongly consider before going through with the procedure.

Scarring

First of all, there is a potential for scarring with electrolysis hair removal. If a pointed needle is used and there is now device that prevents the needle from penetrating the skin then there is potential for scarring. Should the needle enter and an electric charge is discharged into the skin, you could get a scar. That would not be nice if it happened on the face. If you choose to have electrolysis hair removal, be sure that the needle used is rounded so it can’t enter the skin. More importantly, be sure that the electrolysist is experienced and competent.

Cost Of Electrolysis Hair Removal

Electrolysis is extremely expensive. One hour can cost $45 or more. It can take 30 hours just to remove hair on the upper lip depending on how much there is and the electrolysist is slow. Someone who is faster and more experienced may be able to do the same procedure in half the time. You may be better off getting a home electrolysis device and performing the procedure on yourself. It could be hundreds of dollars cheaper.

Abusing Electrolysis Hair Removal

Using electrolysis hair removal to eliminate hair under your arms or legs is borderline abuse of the procedure. That’s just my opinion at the present time and need not agree with it at all. Using electrolysis hair removal to remove all the hair on your arms because there is too much for your liking seems too extreme to me. In this cause shaving or other hair removal options are probably better. However, if there are certain parts of the leg that a woman finds painful or uncomfortable to shave, perhaps the hair on that area could be removed while she continues to shave the rest of the leg.
