HAIR REMOVAL

Electrology originated in 1875 when ophthalmologist Dr. Charles Michel successfully accomplished permanent removal of inverted eyelashes by applying electric current to render the follicle incapable of producing hair. He shared his discovery with a colleague who specialized in dermatology, William Hardaway, MD, who expanded applications for the procedure... Through advancements and refinements in equipment and technique electrology has become an available and affordable option for individuals seeking a practical solution to unwanted hair... Presently the term "electrolysis" refers to three separate modalities commonly recognized as effecting permanent hair removal. These methods include "galvanic", "thermolysis", and "the blend;" and each involves the insertion of a fine probe conductor into the hair follicle (a natural skin opening), brief application of current, and epilation (removal) of the treated hair.
