    "I am going to discuss the differences electrology and laser. Now electrology being were working with a real thin filament which is a needle and its called a probe. Its basically as fine as the size of the hair follicle. Now when it comes to the hair follicle this probe it will slid down were not poking an hole. The hair follicle will expand twice its size so we basically butt it up to the hair and slide it down and on the end of that probe is a current and that current which is a radio wave heats up the follicle it kills the germitive cells that get the hair to grow and basically it works on the actively growing hair. So that is kind of basic statement about electrology. Now I am going to discuss laser. Now laser is form of energy its light and it goes by like say for example a wave length each laser has different wave lengths for different jobs. Now seven fifty five is the wave length for hair and to do hair removal were going to work on a client. Were doing usually large segments of body parts and basically but it only works on hair that has color. So it, that wave length is attracted to the color of hair as well and it kind of works in the way electroligy does it kills the germitive cells. But that laser energy heats up the follicles as well as electrology does but the biggest part about laser is that it does large surface areas. It covers it and it covers it very quickly. When electrology is one hair at a time three four seconds a hair unless you?re working with different forms of electrology which can be very quickly done but laser will go up to eighteen millimeter spot size and cover a large portion."
