What are the different types of permanent hair removal?
Quite often, the phrase ‘permanent hair removal’ is a misnomer and is used out of context. Legally, there is only one procedure that is accepted as having permanent results in hair removal and that is Electrolysis. This traditional process has been in existence for more than 12 years and can give 100% results. This process involves piercing the hair follicles with a thin needle and then passing electric current through this needle. The current proceeds to destroy the hair roots and prevent the possibility of rejuvenation and re-growth. The type of needle and the type of current that is passed vary as per the individual and procedure but the end results are guaranteed. Permanent hair removal is achieved through this method.

For over 130 years, electrology has been in use in the United States. It is approved by the FDA. This technique permanently destroys germ cells responsible for hair growth by way of insertion of a fine probe in the hair follicle and the application of a current adjusted to each hair type and treatment area.
Laser hair removal technology became widespread in the US and many other countries from the 1990s onwards. It has been approved in the United States by the FDA since 1997. With this technology, light is directed at the hair and is absorbed by dark pigment, resulting in the destruction of the hair follicle. The hair removal becomes permanent after one or more sessions. The number of sessions needed depends upon the amount and type of hair being removed. Equipment for performing laser hair removal at home has become available in recent years.
