Not the same at all. In electro, the technician inserts a very fine needle probe into the hair follicle and electrically zaps the root, killing the hair and then removes the hair, root and all
This can be painful, especially when done near the mouth or over large areas, such as those that MtFs have.
Laser heats the hair using laser energy. The FDA has been certifying more and more but only a few lasers can claim "permnent reduction" and even then, you will need maintenance from time to time. In your case, go with laser. You are only doing a few hairs and with the scar tissue, the technician may not be able to get the probe in deep enough to kill the root.
