Permanent Back Hair Removal For Men: Two Choices

by Mike Jones

Men looking for a permanent back hair removal method have a choice of two options: 1. electrolysis, and 2. laser hair removal.

If laser hair removal is your choice, understand there is also another procedure called permanent back hair reduction. Make it clear to the clinic you want permanent back hair removal.

A brief look at the methods electrolysis and laser hair removal use to achieve permanent back hair removal will help in understanding a comparison of the costs involved.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis involves inserting a sterile needle into each hair follicle, one by one, which discharges a small electric current to destroy the mechanism of hair growth. What is known as the Blend method is often used which combines aspects of the Short Wave method, using high frequency radio waves, with aspects of the Galvanic method, involving a chemical reaction using sodium hydroxide.

When a qualified professional carries out this procedure, the client can be satisfied with a permanent back hair removal solution.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses beams of concentrated light to get into the hair follicles to disable the mechanism of hair growth thus providing a permanent back hair removal solution. Unlike electrolysis where one hair follicle is treated at a time, with laser treatment hundreds of hair follicles can be treated in one session. Hair grows in cycles and only the hairs in the growth stage can be treated at any one time necessitating repeat visits until all the hairs have been systematically treated.

Later developments in laser hair removal devices means this method can be used on a variety of skin and hair types, not just dark hair on light skin, as was previously the case.

Comparisons

The two options outlined here for permanent back hair removal are quite different in their methodology and as can be anticipated, there is also quite a difference in price.
