Finally, there’s a better way to administer electrolysis for hair removal.

---

Introducing a major breakthrough in hair removal technology.  A radically advanced procedure which can administer electrolysis to large areas of unwanted hair follicles, without the pain of needles (or the cost of laser).  It is called Transdermal Electrolysis and it works by using electrode patches, swabs, or specialized tweezers.  The professional technician (or home user) can treat unwanted hair growth easily and conveniently.  Unlike the needle or laser, Transdermal has a very low incidence of side effects. Transdermal has been clinically proven to be 'substantially equivalent to needle electrolysis.'

 FAQ’s  It’s time for Transdermal Electrolysis!  FAQ’s

Q:  How does Transdermal Electrolysis differ from other hair removal procedures or products available?

A:  Transdermal is based on electrolysis technology, which has been tried and true for well over 100 years.    New techniques such as Laser Epilation and home-use tweezer devices do not have the substantial history, reputation and documented-results of electrolysis.

Q:  What is the basic difference between Transdermal and needle electrolysis?

A:  The only difference is actually an improvement.  The needle had been used for years to deliver high-pressure electrical current to the follicle tissue for the purpose of destroying growth.  Scientists recently discovered that the electrical current could be applied in a very localized (site specific) manner using patches (or topical instruments such as tweezers or swabs). 

Q:  How does the “high pressure electrical current” affect the hair?

A:  The current (Voltage, Hertz, Micro-amps and Watts) causes a chemical reaction inside the follicle tissue.  This chemical reaction changes the naturally present salt water into a highly corrosive substance called sodium hydroxide.   It is the chemical by-product, not the electricity itself, which damages the tissues which produce the hair. 

Q:  What does Transdermal Electrolysis feel like?

A:  The sensation experienced with electrolysis varies from person to person and the area being treated.  Some describe it as a mild tingling accompanied by a feeling of warmth.  Many are surprised at how little discomfort is experienced.  As the current takes effect, the operator is able to ease the hair from the follicle quite painlessly.  At the conclusion of each treatment a soothing and healing ointment is applied.  

Q:  How many hair follicles can be treated at once? 

A:  Depending on the model, up to four patches can be used at one time.  The largest patch available for Transdermal (while retaining efficacy) is 4x4 inches.  This equates to approximately 60 square inches of total treatment area.  Human skin usually has about 70-100 active hairs growing per square inch.  So in a standard session of 45-60 minutes, a technician could administer electrolysis to well over 5,000 hairs.

Q:  How long will it take to completely clear unwanted hair?

A:  You will probably be advised to come in (or apply home treatments) at least once a week for the first 2-4 weeks (depending on the size of the area to be treated), then every two weeks.  In the final stages, treatments should be applied about every 3-4 weeks. You will also notice that the appointment time may take from 45 to 60 minutes in the beginning, but as time goes by it will get shorter and shorter.  Most people see good immediate results within 6-12 weeks.

The Transdermal Advantage

• Transdermal uses a swab applicator, patch or tweezers instead of a needle and is far easier to learn and perform.

• Transdermal is very fast and can administer treatment to multiple follicles and multiple areas simultaneously (unlike the needle which is a hair by hair treatment).

• Transdermal is safer.  Nothing penetrates the skin.  Clients can shower and put on makeup immediately following treatment. 

• Transdermal treats hairs above the skin and hairs which have not yet emerged.   Needle electrolysis requires all hairs to surface before even knowing where to insert the probe. 

• Transdermal is very affordable.  The average salon is charging $45 to $60 an hour.  When compared to laser hair removal, it’s a bargain.  When compared to needle electrolysis, it is only slightly more expensive.

• Virtually all areas of the body can be treated (with the exception of hairs growing inside the ear and nasal canals).  Some common areas that Transdermal is excellent for:  pubic region, breasts, legs, feet, shoulders, chest, back, hairline, eyebrows, and face.

• Unlike laser hair removal, Transdermal is OK for all skin and hair colors.

Swab Electrolysis:  This procedure is actually the most popular among technicians.  It combines the ability to treat wide areas while giving a very thorough result.  Clip and tweezers electrolysis is great for pinpoint accuracy, but is understandably a slower process.  Tab-type resting electrolysis can treat larger areas but is generally less aggressive.

Patch Electrolysis:  This procedure is essentially a variation to the swab electrolysis procedure.  The advantage to using the patch is that it is a “hands-free” application.  The patch holds itself to the treatment area, so very little operator involvement is required.

Tweezers Electrolysis:  These procedures are outstanding for detail work such as hairline contouring and eyebrow shaping.  The advantage to using the clip as opposed to the tweezer applicator is that it is also a “hands-free” application (like the patch).  The clip actually holds itself to the hair.  Multiple clips can be easily implemented for treatment to as many as four hairs at a time.

“I have been working with the Transdermal System I bought for home use on my beard and am glad to report that it is already 80% gone!  I am very impressed that it worked so well on my unusually thick and deep whisker hair.”  J.Z., San Francisco, CA

I was so self conscience about my facial hair.  People don’t understand how shameful and humiliating it is to be a woman and have to shave twice a day.  I have been going to the salon for Transdermal treatments about four months now and I am so happy to say the results are outstanding.  I am not embarrassed to go out in public anymore.  Transdermal Electrolysis has changed my life.  D.A., Glasgow, Scotland.
