    I’ve read a while back that electrolysis is the only real way to permanently get rid of hair (ignoring new hair follicles). Does laser actually work to destroy hair follicles?

        What’s the difference between laser and electrolysis in how it is? I thought both basically felt like pincing and stabbing. I thought electrolysis was a subset of laser techniques, with laser being a hyponym. Is it not?

      Not sure but for me laser has worked wonders in removing the hairs permanently. Haven’t needed to shave face and legs in over a year since!
