These next 3 hair removal methods kill the germ cells around the hair root so can

be permanent

http://HomeTechBeauty.com.auhttp://HomeTechBeauty.com.au

• A fine probe is inserted into each hair follicle. The germ cells which grow

hair are killed with a small zap of electricity

• This technology is 135 years old!

1. Electrolysis

http://HomeTechBeauty.com.auhttp://HomeTechBeauty.com.au

• Works on all hair colours

• The only true, life-time, permanent hair removal

• Painful. Slow. Expensive.

http://HomeTechBeauty.com.auhttp://HomeTechBeauty.com.au

2. Lasers

• Will heat/kill dark hairs (black or brown hair) but leave light coloured skin cool. Usually not for use on people with darker

skin

• You may need 3-8 treatments (about 10 weeks apart) to ensure hairs in all stages of the hair life cycle are killed

http://HomeTechBeauty.com.auhttp://HomeTechBeauty.com.au

• Some hair may grow back after a few years

• Fairly painless- brief heating of the skin

• Fast - 60 times faster than Electrolysis

• Expensive

http://HomeTechBeauty.com.auhttp://HomeTechBeauty.com.au

• Similar technology to laser but faster to use and cheaper (this is why it has become so popular with practitioners)

• Will vaporise dark hairs, the root, and the papilla (the germ cell that grows new hairs)

3. Intense Pulsed Light

http://HomeTechBeauty.com.auhttp://HomeTechBeauty.com.au

• Leaves light coloured skin cool. Usually not for use on people with darker skin

• You may need 3-8 treatments (about 6 weeks apart) to ensure hairs in all

stages of the hair life cycle are killed

• Some hair may grow back after a few years

• Fairly painless (brief heating of the skin)

http://HomeTechBeauty.com.auhttp://HomeTechBeauty.com.au

• Faster than laser

• Fairly expensive when treated by a Hair Removal Salon ($1000 to $3000+)

but inexpensive when you buy your ownhand-held device for home
