My understanding is that it is common to start with laser, then move to electrolysis. If laser has dealt with the majority of hairs, is the electrolysis tech able to “ignore” those follicles? If not, starting with laser seems pointless.
I have been doing laser for a while but am starting to think electrolysis will be necessary prior to surgery for some of the finer hairs.


Electrolysis works by literally inserting a needle where you want to destroy the hair follicles. So you would only use it on the remaining hair, yes. It also hurts like hell compared to laser. and since they’re zapping each hair individually it also takes a lot longer. Do laser first, if some hairs remain go for electrolysis.
