My understanding is that it is common to start with laser, then move to electrolysis. If laser has dealt with the majority of hairs, is the electrolysis tech able to "ignore" those follicles? If not, starting with laser seems pointless.
I have been doing laser for a while but am starting to think electrolysis will be necessary prior to surgery for some of the finer hairs.

I heard some surgeon use a chemical based permanent hair removal on the inverted part of skin tissue. But I just heard it second hand.

I have not heard that but the surgeon I went to did offer hip skin grafts if someone was not wanting to do electrolysis as that skin is hair free on most people.
