Don’t want to spend time and money on constant hair removal? If you’re not up for a lifetime of trimming, waxing, and shaving, there is another way of dealing with troublesome hair. You can get rid of it permanently by using an electrolysis hair removal system. It’s worth considering if you want to reduce permanent hair growth, and is one of the oldest and most reliable hair removal methods around.

There was a time when only beauty therapists and salons had access to any kind of electrolysis hair removal system. It used to be an expensive and time-consuming process that involved a lengthy course of treatments. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case. If you don’t like the idea of visiting a salon, you can now take matters into your own hands and do it all from the comfort of your own home.

What’s it all about? An electrolysis hair removal system works by inserting a tiny electrified needle into individual hair follicles to destroy the base of the hair follicle. It sounds painful, but in reality you will just feel pain that’s on a par with a little pin prick. Your skin may be a bit red afterwards, but that’s true of shaving and waxing as well. It can be performed on most areas on the face and body, but steer clear of using it on the testicles. Many of the home electrolysis hair removal system products work in a slightly different way and use tweezers instead of needles, which is regarded as being less painful.

Wondering how much an electrolysis hair removal system will cost? As it’s a more permanent way of removing unwanted hair, you will have to spend a bit more money than you would on shavers but it’s worth the investment. Prices do vary though. You can pick up an electrolysis hair removal system for as little as $60. However, if you want a full kit, you’re looking at anything from $130 to around $200.

The $64 million dollar question is of course this; which electrolysis hair removal system is right for you and your specific needs? The answer of course depends on exactly what you want to achieve by using one of these products. An electrolysis hair removal system tends to come as a kit. This is especially true of the more expensive end of the market. Products that are respected and boast high-performance results are naturally going to cost a bit more.

Invest in a kit and you’ll get a full electrolysis hair removal system that’s professional quality. If you’ve got coarse hair, this is probably the best way to go. Have a look at the Vector Electrolysis Hair Removal System if you want the full treatment. Their pack comes in at about $199 and includes everything you need, from the machine itself, to a foot pedal, galvanic tweezers, electrode patches, and gel. You’ll need to be careful when using an electrolysis hair removal system. Remember, you are performing an irreversible process, so think carefully about the areas you want to target.

Looking for something under $100? You could try an electrolysis hair removal system that doesn’t come with quite so many accessories. Have a look at the Verseo ePen, or consider their E-Pad product. The former is $60 and the latter $50.

Is permanent hair removal cream possible?

Many people look towards permanent hair removal cream as an alternative solution to laser and electrolysis. Online you’ll find quite a few people proclaiming that their hair removal cream is permanent. But if you read the fine print it requires ongoing maintenance (thus NOT permanent).

The status of hair removal creams today

Hair removal creams generally work by chemically attacking the protein bonds in the hair shaft. This causes the hair growth to be weaker and coarser hair becomes softer. After initial application of hair removal cream, hair will grow back in 4 to 6 weeks. Continuous use of the product over time causes hair growth to slow significantly. But if you stop, the hair will grow back and become stronger again.

It thus becomes a bit of a catch-22: you want the permanent hair removal cream to actually be permanent so that you can stop doing something about your hair. Yet, if you stop doing what you are doing, it won’t be ‘permanent’.

This is not to bash hair removal creams. A lot of people find it does work for them. We just want to highlight that you shouldn’t expect it to be permanent so managing your expectations. In fact, even the other hair removal treatment methods commonly touted as permanent: laser and electrolysis, state in the fine print that it won’t remove all hair and requires maintenance (albeit quite long periods). Thus neither of them are ‘permanent’ either.

Still, to some, even a semi-permanent hair removal cream are preferable to the ‘regular’ need to shave, tweeze or wax. If this sounds like you, by all means, try hair removal creams. Just don’t expect a miracle. Always read the fine-print. And if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
