I have been wanting to do electrolysis. I talked to electrolysis in my area. I ask if having permanent hair removal is attainable. One is telling me at the most you can get 70 to 80 percent clearance like laser. Another is telling me when all treatments are finished you can have permanent hair removal. I researched laser and most people tell me you can only achieve hair reduction for long term. Not permanence. Is permanent hair removal attainable with Electrolysis. I would like to know any info. Skin is light with dark hairs. Also any referrals. Thanks
California is pretty big…Where are you?
Permanence is the goal and it is attainable - but you must follow the electrologists recommendations. Certain conditions (hormonal or genetic) can take longer than others.
Im in the… Bay Area
Permanent hair removal with a skilled electrologist reaches the 100% level of assured removal for any size or color of hair on any color of skin. What an electrologist cannot control is that maybe? sometime in the future, new follicles may wake up and start nurturing a hair to grow. The follicles that were successfully treated in the past should not be mistaken for new follicles that start growing hair sometime in the future that are just microns away from a disabled hair follicle!
Electrolysis will remove any hair from anywhere. There are certain rules of engagement, so to speak, that make this happen and many electrologists know how to disable hair follicles PERMANENTLY. A respected electrolysis book has given percentages similar to what the electrologist you talked to gave. I disagree with that information and would love to be in a position to disprove that if the offer every came forward.
If you go to www.electrology.com there are members of the American Electrology Association listed by the states that you could refer to. Another source is www.lauras-playground.com . This is a great transgender site. Anyone that can properly remove hair from our dear transwomen, can handle any hair anywhere. If no one can offer you a personal referral here, make your call list and arrange for consults and short sample treatments.

Laser is great for COARSE dark hair like that on bikini and underarms, and it IS permanent (with the right equipment and clinic). Read the FAQs at the link below. So yes, laser can kill 100% of hair, but only 100% of COARSE hair. For all other hair, you need electrolysis, which kills every hair.
We need more info on your location (I doubt you’ll be going to LA for treatment every week if you’re in SF) and areas being treated.
Electrolysis can deliver 100% permanent Hair Removal, That is why it called the Gold Standard of Permanent Hair Removal.
I happen to have a few examples of my work to make the point.
