I think the thing is that in your instance you're dealing with coarse, male-type facial hair and that the growth is getting heavier and coarser.

Both electrolysis and laser work by burning the hair out. Electrolysis by poking a needle carrying an electric current into the follicle enough times over a period of months to destroy the follicle and laser by using the hair to conduct heat down its shaft to damage the follicle. Both can work with a variable degree of permanence
BUT
what can damage hair is also likely to damage skin
neither is likely to be effective long-term with male-type facial hair
though electrolysis is the more permanent of the two, it's likely to give a pock-marked result when used on coarse, bristly hair, so it's likely to be obvious to the wider world that you've had facial hair.

Some women have a mental block about shaving their face, but watch this space. In the European market Philips (the giant electrical corporation which owns Norelco) have just started promoting shaving as a method for removing women's facial hair.

No doubt Philips see an enormous market out there. After all, most women have some facial hair. Most women already shave their legs, but if they could get women used to the idea of shaving off facial hair, then sell them razors specially for the purpose (just as they sell bikini-line trimmers)they could have a huge market in the longer term.

One point I would make, though, is that with the sort of male-type growth that natagirl has described, it's better to go for a male-type razor designed for that sort of growth.
