A small needle is inserted into each hair follicle and an electric current is passed through the needle, causing the hair follicle to stop producing new hair. Electrolysis is an expensive procedure, costing thousands of dollars. Laser hair removal is also expensive, costing around $400 per treatment. In order to successfully remove all of the unwanted hair from one area, around 5 treatments are needed.
