Men looking for a permanent back hair removal method have a choice of two options: 1. electrolysis, and 2. laser hair removal.
If you decide to pursue laser hair removal, make sure the clinic you visit understands you want permanent back hair removal, not permanent back hair reduction.
To get a comparison of the costs involved, let's take a quick look at electrolysis versus laser hair removal when it comes specifically to finding a permanent back hair removal method.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis involves inserting a sterile needle into each hair follicle, one by one, which discharges a small electric current to destroy the mechanism of hair growth. What is known as the Blend method is often used which combines aspects of the Short Wave method, using high frequency radio waves, with aspects of the Galvanic method, involving a chemical reaction using sodium hydroxide.
A client can get a permanent back hair removal solution when this procedure is carried out by a qualified professional technician.
Laser Hair Removal
Permanent back hair removal using the laser method on the other hand, uses beams of highly concentrated light which penetrate the hair follicles and destroys the hair. Hundreds of hair follicles can be treated at a time. However, only hairs in the growth stage are neutralized during each session making repeat visits necessary until most of the hair has been caught.
Newer laser machines can now get good results with all skin and hair types whereas before only dark hair on light skin was considered almost a requirement for optimum results. Of course, it is wise to have a test patch done first.
Comparisons
These two choices for permanent back hair removal vary greatly and this is reflected in the cost.
As electrolysis laboriously treats one hair follicle at a time, it is much more expensive than laser hair removal which sweeps over hundreds of hair follicles at a time.
As clinics vary when it comes to expertise, and as some states are more expensive than others, it is to be expected that costs vary quite considerably. The back is quite a large area of skin to be treated also. With that in mind the following figures can give some idea of the cost involved with permanent back hair removal.
Hundreds of hours may be needed for electrolysis and the sessions would have to be staged over months. Rates can range anywhere from $50 to $120 depending on location etc. as mentioned. A ball park figure for permanent back hair removal using electrolysis would be between $5,000 and $12,000.
Expect on average to pay about $500 per treatment for laser hair removal. Take an average of about 5 to 8 treatments for the back area, the cost would be somewhere between $2,500 and $4,000 using the laser option for permanent back hair removal.
Is it worth it?
The price may seem high on first examination but consider this. The alternatives to electrolysis and laser are waxing, shaving or depilatories. Add up the cost of the products over 20 to 30 years of use and you may be surprised at the difference, especially when you consider the saving in time and inconvenience.
The investment in permanent back hair removal, to emphasize the point, can save you in the long run many, many hours of time and energy, along with the associated frustration and inconvenience.
