Electrolysis : Electrolysis can be performed on any part of the body. Electrolysis is effective but very time consuming and can be quite unpleasant, and painful. An alternative to electrolysis is laser hair removal. Laser hair removal can be quite effective for the right patient and using the correct laser. The best results are with patients with darker hair and lighter skin. For those with dark skin, or very blonde hair, there are lasers than can work, but often are less effective or non-permanent. For those patients electrolysis may still be the best choice.

Electrolysis: Can be performed anywhere on the body where there is hair - so all the areas listed could be treated.
