In the field of unwanted hair removal, there are two major techniques that are pitted against one another over and over again: electrolysis vs. laser hair removal.
On the face of things, it seems like there's no contest. Electrolysis is painful, requires a lot more treatments, and is significantly more expensive; furthermore, it is difficult to operate the machinery, and mishaps can be severely disfiguring. Electrolysis vs. laser hair removal seems like a comparison nobody really needs to make.
But let's look at the reality of laser hair removal. In the electrolysis vs. laser hair removal battle, it's hard to deny that electrolysis works much more reliably - rather than simply shining laser light into the hair follicle, electrolysis physically penetrates the follicle and burns out the hair permanently.
Another question deals with skin tone. Laser hair removal doesn't always work on darker skin tones, unless you use a longer wavelength for the laser, and an expensive diode variety of laser. Electrolysis works on all skin tones and all hair colors, operating as it does on the physical hair follicle with a needle. Electrolysis vs. laser hair removal starts to look like a no-brainer, all right: electrolysis seems to be winning.
But as the electrolysis vs. laser hair removal battle goes on, a new variable enters play. There's simply no way to do electrolysis in your home - it's a complex procedure, and a dangerous one if you're not well-trained in the use of the equipment. Indeed, the equipment simply isn't available for home use; it would be terribly irresponsible to let people try this in their home.
Enter Epila, the new contender in the electrolysis vs. laser hair removal battle. With a small, lightweight, hand-held unit, you can remove unwanted body hair in your own home... without expensive and time-consuming visits to a clinic. It's even equipped with the long-wavelength diode laser you need for darker skin tones, and there's only slight discomfort instead of the burning pain of electrolysis.
Once you add Epila into the mix, the question of electrolysis vs. laser hair removal really is no contest: on cost, convenience, efficiency, and comfort... Epila wins, hands down. With only a few treatments, you can begin to see results that would cost thousands at a clinic - for less than you'd pay for a single treatment with outdated and barbaric electrolysis equipment.
