Permanent hair removal where a fine filament is inserted into the follicle and a minute amount of current is delivered to the base of the follicle; this destroys the follicle’s ability to produce a hair. The hair is then removed with tweezers.

History of Electrolysis
Invented in 1867 by Dr. Charles E. Michel, an ophthalmologist, of
St. Louis, Missouri to treat painful ingrown eyelashes.
Electrolysis remains unsurpassed as the only medically proven permanent hair removal method.
