Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each individual hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to each, one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. By comparison, IPL delivers light energy to hundreds of hair follicles with a single pulse. In just seconds, IPL can effectively treat an area which would take more than an hour with electrolysis.
