Alternative methods to laser hair removal

Electrolysis is always an alternative to home laser hair removal, but is it a good one? Since in electrolysis the needle goes right into the hair follicles then delivers an electric shock it can be quite painful (this is all guessing by the way ive not had it done!). Although home laser hair removal can be painful, and hair removal at a clinic, you can still turn the intensity setting down to a manageable level. Yes it be as effective but the idea is to slowly build up to a level which is manageable for you. You can also use numbing cream for laser hair removal which deaden the skin, with electrolysis this may not be as effective, since the needle is going into the skin, not just the skin surface.
