I don't think electrolysis works for everyone. Tried a sample once and, aside from the fact that it hurt (!), the specific hairs that were treated were unaffected.

My daughter recently had laser hair removal done on her forearms and it worked very well (and was painless). However, she has dark hair. I was told laser hair removal usually does not work well on forearms because the hair is usually too light a color.
