Title: Laser or Electrolysis for head hair removal? Anyone done this?
Post by: Repent34 on March 03, 2013, 06:40:10 PM
OK, so I got to thinking.  What about using laser treatments or electrolysis to remove the hair from my head?  I could then enjoy that BBS feeling 24/7/365.   I've just started researching this and wonder if there are any folks here that can provide any info on this?  I do know that it is expensive and so I'm looking more towards the use at home products.  I've found several out there that have mixed reviews.  So far, I see descriptions of products that can be used at home and are FDA approved.  None mention using it on the head but they do mention using it on the face.

I did a search here on SBG and came upon one old thread that was never updated with the fellow's results.

Any time I "get a bee in my bonnet" about something I do quite a bit of research before deciding whether or not I even want to pursue whatever it is that I'm researching.  Not saying that I will go the laser or electrolysis route but I like to know about all my options concerning any given matter.  I'm analytical to the nth degree!

Can anyone provide input to this?

BTW if you're under 50, a "bee in your bonnet" means to be obsessed with something.  To have an idea "buzzing" around in your head, for example.  :)

I know a few people who do electrolysis, but never heard of it on the scalp....Guess I'll Google it for curiosity.....

Good info on Google. Looks like for electrolysis it would be a needle inserted into every hair follicle to zap it with electric current to kill it at the root. Guaranteed  :x!  Since I'm BBC that would end up being a pretty penny indeed.

I did read about a newer device that uses a gel to maximize the surface area along with a roller type electrode. Curious.

More reading to do.
