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.
It’s for hairs whose coloration isn’t dark enough to accumulate/absorb enough heat (70°C) from the laser in order for them to be incinerated. I’m currently doing belly, chest and face and - goddammit - I have two patches, one on each side of my face, just below my ears, that are white like snow… I’m going to have to do electrolysis (“diathermy” in my language). My threshold for pain is so low, that I need to apply morphine cream on my face at least half an hour before she zaps my face, so I can’t even image what the electrolysis is going to feel like 😅 as long as she does it, I don’t mind though. I’m not a masochist, I just adore her. 🩷
