Electrolysis vs Laser

Hi, as I am becoming a woman or a certain age, I am getting darker hairs on my face. I want to nip this in the bud now. Can anyone give a view from their experience, whether electrolysis or laser works best.
I did have some laser on my bikini line that didn't work too well.
Thanks

Following as I asked almost exactly the same question around a month ago but didn't get a single response Sad

All I can say is that I tried dermaplaning, twice, on the fluffy hair on the sides of my face and is now darker and thicker.

If it's on your face then I'd recommend electrolysis. It takes long than laser, as each hair needs to be killed individually, but it's permanent. Laser requires some upkeep and the hairs might eventually grow back.

@FrancoBranco, thanks. I thought that might be the case. At least with working at home, I can hide any redness before going back to work.

I've been doing laser for like 20 years! It worked straight away on my lip but chin is a different story! It's a constant battle. I think if you haven't had success with laser on your bikini then I don't think it will work with facial hair and hormones
