Electrolysis treats the hair one follicle at a time by inserting a tiny needle into the hair shaft to heat the hair and disable it. Electrolysis will work on any color of hair, being effective only on hairs in the growth phase.

The main difference between electrolysis and laser hair removal, is that lasers can treat multiple hair follicles at one time, and no longer required to probe each individual hair follicle, as it required in electrolysis. Laser hair removal is safe and FDA approved. People need an average of 3-6 treatments in laser hair removal for desired results, but in electrolysis it required around one year for good results.
