When you look in mirror there is a black line on upper lips and lower lips every fifth day and you get irritated after seeing it. Don’t know how to remove it permanently. Most of the women use devices, depilatories cream and also do waxing. Ack!  Waxing is the most method for removing hairs but still it’s not the permanent manner of hair removal. After some days hairs are again pop up from the hair follicles. Also mentioning some everlasting method of hair removal that are laser and electrolysis.

Laser vs Electrolysis

Laser and electrolysis method of hair removal are long lasting methods of hair removal both work by targeting the hair follicles. Laser method significantly target the hair follicles and destroy them so ultimately its retard the growth of hairs. When we listen the word laser next thing come in our minds that it is dangerous or carcinogenic (surely discuss it in this but later).

Electrolysis is the more reliable method of hair removal unlike laser it’s not painless because the probe fine needle reaches the hair follicle afterward hair remove with the help of tweezer. It’s absolutely sounds painful but it become painless by using anesthetic cream at the desirable site. Medical electrolysis devices are used for this procedure.

Principle of Electrolysis

As we studies in our early ages electrolysis is the process used for extraction of hydrogen from water via electric current. How this principle work in hair removal? By the usage of electric and chemical energy, electrolysis work efficiently in hair removal. Electric energy passes through the needle, which is inserted in hair follicle. this electric energy break down the water and salt in the skin and form sodium hydroxide commonly known as caustic soda ( lye) , it is venomous enough to unable the cell to regrow.

Myths about Electrolysis:

Electrolysis is painless:

Pain is subjective experience. Some people experience intense pain in minor dental surgery while some have ability to bear the pain quietly in the same procedure. So we can’t say that first one is wimp or second patient is liar because it’s all about the person’s ability to accept pain. When we talk about electrolysis it pain threshold ranges from minor tingling pain to even more life-threatening pain that make the procedure impossible with anesthetic cream.

 

Electrolysis have cent percent permanent success:

Electrolysis doesn’t have 100 percent result or give everlasting result .but comparatively it have highest percentage of achievement than other hair removal methods including laser treatment. According to survey it have 93% success that is the healthy percentage.

Also need to mention here success rate depend upon the trained and professional electrologist.

Permanent side effects:

It is also the myth that electrolysis doesn’t leave any scar and infection permanently because if this procedure deal with unprofessional electrologist it leave permanent scars and infection on the skin. If done in proper hygienic condition by trained and expert professional than surely it give just temporary side effects that are redness tenderness and scars.

Question left above the article

Carcinogenicity of laser treatment

Most harmful rays that affect our body cells are x-rays and gamma rays. In our lives we interact with two type of Radiation ionizing radiations and non-ionizing radiation

Ionizing radiation have affinity to directly damage the cell’s DNA , precipitate mutation within the cell and lead cancer on another side rays use in laser treatment are non-ionizing radiation that’s not harmful as ionizing radiation , doesn’t have ability to mutate the cell .

Secondly if women concern about fertility (as in the case of hair removal near the reproductive organs) in laser treatment, then laser radiation only deal with hair follicles and doesn’t penetrate beneath skin or affect the reproductive organs.

Permanent method of hair removal

Well it’s just a chump, not a single technique of hair removal is long-lasting.
