Background facts
Some consumers have had good results from fighting unwanted hair
on several fronts. If you seek permanent hair removal, it is a
good idea to discuss your options with a dermatologist. You may
benefit from supplementing electrolysis or laser with an antiandrogen
or topical drug like Vaniqa.
For some consumers, especially males treating large areas, starting
with a temporary method like shaving and waxing can offer immediate
cosmetic improvement, and then hairs can be treated as they come
back in.
Some consumers with light colored skin and dark hair have benefitted
from a few laser treatments, followed by electrolysis on hairs
the laser couldn't treat.
Because of the number of possible combinations and the number
of possible skin and hair types, space does not permit discussing
every option. Please ask on the hair removal forum if you have
a specific question.
