Laser Hair Removal Side Effects
Unwanted facial hair is common on the upper lips, cheeks, forehead and chin. Other areas where unwanted hair can be found are on the fingers, toes, legs and back. Shaving these areas can cause skin problems like ingrown hairs, raised bumps that can get infected, and the dreaded razor burn that takes hours, even days to subside. Although shaving can be done over large areas of the body, tweezing is advised to be used in smaller areas of the body. Tweezing in large parts of the body can cause ingrown hair and even scarring of the skin.
Electrolysis is the introduction of a fine wire close to the hair shaft and under the skin. Inserted into the hair follicle, electricity is applied to the wire and travels down and destroys the root of the hair follicle, effectively loosening it up for the removal of the hair with tweezers. This form of epilators includes needles and tweezers. The needle epilator is inserted into the hair follicle. Epilators using tweezers uses an electric current that apply energy at the tip of the tweezers as they grasp the hair shaft. This form of epilator has not been sufficiently researched enough to prove that it effectively removes hair permanently.

Whereas another form of electrolysis is called medical electrolysis, in which a thin probe is place in the actual hair follicle and a shortwave frequency is applied. Both these types of electrolysis can cause infection and scarring from improper technique.
