White, blond or red hair: what are the options?
White hairs that appear over the years, blond hair, red hair: this is a question I am often asked. The honest answer fits in two sentences. Laser does not pick them up. Electrolysis treats them all, on targeted areas.
Why laser does not pick them up
The laser’s light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, then turned into heat. A white, blond or red hair does not contain enough of it: the laser does not pick it up, whatever the area.
Electrolysis: every hair, whatever its colour
Electrolysis does not depend on the colour of the hair. A very fine, sterile, single-use filament is slipped into the natural opening of the hair; localised heat destroys the germ cells. Each treated hair is destroyed permanently.
It is a precision technique. It is ideal for the face, targeted areas and finishing.
For a large area
Electrolysis treats one hair at a time. It is therefore designed for targeted areas. For a large area, we discuss it together at the information session, to see what is realistic in your case.
Dark and white hair mixed
If your hair is starting to turn white, it is best to start laser while most of it is still dark. The laser will treat the dark hairs; if a few white hairs remain, we can deal with them using electrolysis. If most of it is already white, I will tell you honestly.
The information session decides
At the information session (first consultation), I look at your hair and your skin, and I tell you which technique is suitable. For laser, it is free of charge. For electrolysis, it costs €20, including 5 minutes of treatment to test your area. Discover electrolysis
