I'm not really sure when I read things, so I figure I need my information verified by people who know their stuff:
Electrolysis (by a professional) is expensive (4 to 5 figures) and requires many sessions, but it usually works.
Laser and other stuff is reasonably expensive and doesn't really work.
So, is my understanding of long-term hair removal correct?
This is a contentious issue in our community Kaelin, and there are several threads in the forums discussing this topic. The biggest issue is whether Laser is permanent or not. Electro is but there is much debate on Laser.
The best thing for you to do in perform a search on "Hair Removal" in the forums main page and look at the topics that are presented.
