Electrolysis Hair Removal - Is It Right For You?

Is electrolysis hair removal the solution for those many men who spend countless hours a month on their daily shaving routine? A few men are lucky enough to be able to get away with shaving every other day. The same number of men have skin so sensitive that they bleed every time they shave and begin each day with the pain and discomfort of the post shaving blues. Some men are also looking for a back hair removal solution. These men may be interested in electrolysis hair removal.

Likewise, women too, in America anyways, must shave their legs and armpits on a regular basis. And for some women hair grows in the most unsightly places such as on the upper lip or other areas of the face. Many women have eyebrows they believe are too thick to be considered attractive. Many women in China actually tattoo their eyebrows on and shave the actual hair off. Many of these women may also be interested in electrolysis hair removal.

Electrolysis hair removal is so attractive to people because it is permanent. If done correctly, the hair that is treated will never grow back. This is a very tempting option for men who are sure they will never grow a mustache or beard in their life. It's even more tempting for women who have unsightly facial hair such as, mustaches, sideburns and chin hair.

The Downside Of Electrolysis Hair Removal

There is a huge disadvantage to electrolysis hair removal. Because the procedure involves treating each hair one by one, it is extremely expensive to have done. This is not because the procedure itself is costly or complicated, but because you must pay for the expert's time. For example, treating a woman’s legs could cost anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000.

Another downside is that the procedure has the potential to be painful. However, I feel that this depends on the person. For example, some people are not fazed at all when getting a tattoo, while others can't bear the pain. If you are going to consider electrolysis hair removal, you'll have to consider your threshold for discomfort. It can take dozens of hours longer than getting a tattoo.

There are cheaper options for having electrolysis hair removal treatment, like doing it yourself in your own home. For those who are serious about using this treatment but are a little short on cash may want to consider this method.
