We wanted to make information about laser hair removal available because we feel that great care should be taken when performing hair removal on all areas of the body, especially the delicate skin of the face.

We, as electrologists, have real concerns on how the laser is going to effect the skin in the long term. We have been to many laser seminars during the past several years and we still are not convinced that this is a long term solution without negative repercussions. Mass laser or light strong enough to destroy hair follicles surely has to be hard on the tissue that it is traveling through. It is mandatory, if the hair is to be kept down to a minimum, to have a laser treatment every 4 to 6 weeks. Will this new technology be a "cigarette cancer" in the years to come?

We find it extremely important that each treatment we give be the most permanent that can be and be safe to the skin. We listen to and study these new methods and no laser or machine can perform as efficiently and safely as electrolysis. If we did do this to one of our clients, we would not sleep very well for many, many nights. We hope this helps you understand why we have some very real concerns about the "new" laser technology.

Electrolysis has had an unequalled record of proven permanent hair removal for over 130 years. Many women and men have benefited from electrolysis during their lifetimes. It does take time and persistence, but after the electrolysis treatment program has been completed any area of the body can be absolutely baby smooth every morning for the rest of your life.
