Electrolysis has long been recognized and accepted by the
medical profession
as a permanent means to disable hair reproduction at its'
root. Transdermal "no-needle" electrolysis involves placing a probe into an ionized gel to transmit a galvanic current
through the skin and down the hair shaft to the hair root. (Due to
advancements in this field we are now able to treat a larger area with the use
of various sizes of adhesive pads.) This current creates a chemical reaction
changing the water
and salt present in the hair follicle to sodium hydroxide. As in
the case of traditional
needle electrolysis, the sodium hydroxide destroys the
germinating hair root thus
achieving permanent hair removal. This is accomplished without
the introduction
of a painful and invasive needle or the scarring and scabbing
that sometime
are caused by the traditional needle electrolysis.
