Electrolysis Hair Removal Cost
When we hear about what procedures for hair removal work better than others, it is easy to overlook the cost aspect. One thing to remember when looking at cost is that Laser Hair Removal and electrolysis are the only two permanent sources for hair loss and will only need to be completed over the time frame laid out by the technicians. Electrolysis is not only more painful, but also takes more of your time and costs much more than any form of hair removal. If you wanted to compare waxing or shaving over a five year time period you would see that these would cost thousands of dollars. Over your lifetime as you would need to do these procedures for the rest of your life it would come close to a hundred thousand dollars.
To distinguish between the prices you should look at a comparison what each one does and how long it takes. Laser Hair Removal is noninvasive and has no side effects. Electrolysis in invasive as the metal prong is slid into each individual hair follicle, the electrically charged tip then burns the end of the follicle so it no longer produces hair. Lasers will cover at least a 9x9mm area of body and move quickly across the body and attack the follicles in the same way but with little or no pain involved. Since electrolysis has to touch individual follicles it takes much longer, meaning that a technician will need to work on that area a long time which in turn will increases the cost of doing business.
Electrolysis also has after effects like burns, blisters or welts. It takes a few days to heal from these too. Lasers will leave you with smoother, younger looking skin while taking away the hair permanently.
The hair on the face can be done with electrolysis and cost you over $650 a year. Since electrolysis can take up to four years, you will see that it will cost you about $2,700. The same procedure can be done with Laser Hair Removal and cost about half that and will be completed under six months. Unfortunately for electrolysis the price for other procedures on different parts of the body just gets higher and higher. The legs for example will cost about $3,200 for Laser Hair Removal, the same procedure with electrolysis costs about $16,000. The back is even worse for electrolysis. With lasers the back will cost about $4,000 but with electrolysis the price goes up to almost $19,000. There really is no good evidence to support using electrolysis when Laser Hair Removal can do the same job in less time at a fraction of the price. So isn’t it worth it to do a permanent procedure and never have to shave or wax again in that area for the rest of your life?
