Permanent hair removal, a form of electrolysis, is the process of eliminating unwanted hair by destroying the hair follicle. This is achieved by delivering an electric current directly to the base of each follicle.
Permanent hair removal is a sought-after treatment due to the long-lasting results. It eliminates the need for frequent shaving, waxing, or tweezing, ultimately saving time and effort. One historic development in this field was the invention of the epilator in the 19th century, a device that utilized electrolysis to remove hair.
