since I’m 20 and will develop new hair down the line anyway, will electrolysis be worth it now?
Yes, electrolysis will be worth it NOW because you are eliminating forever, as in permanently, the bothersome hair follicles you have TODAY. Those bothersome hairs can never come back again at critical hormone events in a woman’s life span such as pregnancy and menopause to become trouble makers later in your life span. Having electrolysis NOW makes those hairs long, long, gone as is dead.
Don’t mean to sound irritable, but I have never heard this question asked about laser hair reduction. Even though we hear stories here about people doing laser for 20++++ times over years, they stay hopeful. Keep in mind that neither modality, laser or electrolysis, can prevent future hair follicles from coming alive. New hair growth is dependent on genetics, disease process, certain medications, stress, hormonal events… We all have to be ready for new hair growth as we age.
