What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is the removal of unwanted hair through the means of a needle
inserted into the follicle. There are three different methods (modalities) used
to accomplish this:
Short Wave:
A high frequency radio energy, which sets up a rapid oscillation or vibration
in the cells of the follicle producing heat. Using this method, the hair tissue
is then cauterized.
Galvanic:
The Galvanic Method uses direct current to produce sodium hydroxide in the follicle,
which then chemically acts to annihilate the hair tissue.
Blend:
The Blend Method combines both the Short Wave and Galvanic modalities
and, with the oscillation of the high frequency radio energy, produces heated
sodium hydroxide to destroy the hair tissue.
