In the simplest words, electrolysis hair removal is a permanent hair removal technique, which has been (in actual) declared ‘permanent’ by FDA, for the removal of hair. It generally works by damaging the hair follicles with the help of electric current up to an extent that they do not grow back for a longer time – a real permanent thing!

Laser hair removal is another technique that helps to get rid of body/facial unwanted hair. But unlike, electrolysis hair removal, laser hair removal is not permanent or long term. Although the number of body hair will be considerably reduced, as new follicles develop, new hair can grow back. In the nutshell, one would not rate laser’s results over electrolysis’s result as the time-affectivity is variable.
