Which Permanent Hair Removal Option is Best for You?

If you’re considering permanent hair removal, the good news is that there are many effective options available on the market to help you say goodbye to shaving for good. Yet, with so many choices available, it can be difficult to decide which choice is best. Here are some of the options available, along with an evaluation of the benefits and drawbacks. Of course, the best way to learn more about what choice is best for you is to speak to a qualified permanent hair removal cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist. RadianceMedspa offers a range of hair removal options to those who want to leave shaving and waxing behind for good.

·         Electrolysis. With electrolysis, a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon will use a needle to piece the hair follicle and destroy the root using an electric current. The procedure can take a while to complete. Because it is slower than other methods, the procedure works well for small areas of the body such as the upper lip, or for those with light hair. Lighter haired women may find that laser hair removal isn’t as effective as it is for darker hair, and may choose electrolysis for this reason.

·         Laser hair removal. According to WebMD, laser hair removal is one of the safest and most effective ways to permanently remove hair. A laser is passed over the parts of the body where you want to remove the hair, killing the follicles. The procedure works best for women with darker hair, though the laser is less effective in treating blond hair. Many patients see results after 3 to 7 treatments, but results vary. According to Elle, more advanced treatment methods allow for a wider range of hair types to be treated and for wider areas of the body to be addressed. Radiance Medspa in Washington, DC offers state-of-the-art laser hair removal options that work for a variety of hair and skin types.

If you’re considering permanent laser hair removal, it may be a good idea to schedule a consultation with a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon. Permanent hair removal procedures are medical procedures and should always be performed by a qualified technician.
