Galvanic – Electrolysis
Galvanic electrolysis uses galvanic direct current to destroy the hair growing cells of the Hair Follicle
The process uses a disposable fine wire needle which is inserted into the hair follicle and applying an electrical current to the follicle root.
This procedure actually burns the hair root theoretically preventing it from producing more hair. Passage of electric current produces hydroxide ions, which destroy the hair growing cells and congeal the hair.
Electrolysis is a permanent form of hair removal but it has several drawbacks:
It is is a slow process
This method requires repeated treatments
Shaving approximately 3 days before an electrolysis treatment ensures that the hairs that are visible are in the anagen phase
