There are two main \u00a0methods of permanent hair reduction: electrolysis and laser.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anyone who says they offer permanent hair removal is offering misleading information.\u00a0 There is no such thing – this is a myth.\u00a0\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because eventually some hair will grow where the hair has been in a dormant phase, so it is impossible to achieve 100% hair removal.\u00a0 But — one can expect about an 80% reduction in hair.<\/p>\n
What is electrolysis?\u00a0 This is a method where electric energy is used through a tiny probe to kill the hair follicle.\u00a0 Hairs must be targeted one by one individually.<\/p>\n
Laser uses heat energy of a very specific wavelength to target the melanin\u00a0 (pigment) in the hair follicle.\u00a0 As with electrolysis, only hairs in the growth cycle are affected.\u00a0 Unlike electrolysis, many hair follicles are treated at once.\u00a0 Several kinds of lasers are available.\u00a0 At Clarite, we offer 2 lasers of different\u00a0wavelengths including one which is safer for darker skin types or tanned individuals.\u00a0 Laser does not work on blond or white hair.<\/p>\n
