Permanent Home Hair Removal: Does it Work?

Some things get easier with practice —

like cooking or dancing (well, maybe not dancing). Other things — like at-home hair removal — only seem to get more frustrating.

There’s a billion dollar industry marketing everything from 15-blade razors (not really, but kinda) to intricate wax kits. You may find temporary results, but the time spent can quickly outweigh the convenience.

And then there’s at-home laser treatments such as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), Diode Laser Hair Removal or at-home electrolysis devices. These devices target hair follicles, promising to slow down future growth. They’re easy to use, and great at targeting small areas with unwanted hair. Surely a quantum leap in DIY hair removal, right?

Not quite.

In order to prevent consumers from hurting themselves (after all, accidents happen), these devices are intentionally manufactured with weaker settings. While this does help stop the “surprise sizzle”, it also means the results are far from permanent.

But knowing is half the battle, and in the war against strawberry legs, razor bumps, and excessive lip/chin hair, there’s no shame in calling in the professionals.

We're not here to kill your vibe.

In fact, at-home remedies can slow down the growth of some hair if you’re short on funds.

But if you’re looking for a permanent solution for that fuzzy upper-lip; those out-of-control eyebrows; that temperamental bikini-area, there’s only one FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal – professional electrolysis.

Some things, like mouth-watering cooking, you can do at home. But some results are worth leaving home for.

Electrolysis uses a refined, bendy probe to deliver heat directly to and destroy hair roots.
It doesn’t rely on hair or skin color, as opposed to other hair removal methods. This is why it’s the only method that can even treat white, gray, red, and fuzz hair and any skin color.
It’s therefore the only FDA-approved method to claim permanent removal (others can only offer permanent reduction).

I was pleasantly surprised by how minimal the discomfort was during my electrolysis treatment. Compared to other methods I've tried, it was virtually painless, leaving me feeling confident and at ease.
