To explain, hair grows through a tube-like opening in the skin known as the hair follicle. At the base of the follicle is a bulb, which contains a gelatin-like substance, called the papilla; SO WHEN YOU TWEEZE OR WAX A HAIR IT CAUSES BLOOD FLOW TO THE PAPILLA CAUSING THE HAIR TO BECOME DEEPER AND COURSER because this is the hair's source of nourishment. A tiny sterile wire filament is inserted into the follicle. In the use of shortwave or thermolysis, the tip of the wire filament transmits a small heat pattern down into the papilla. This thermal action cauterizes and disables the papilla without damaging the outer layer of the skin. With galvanic or blend modalities, a chemical breakdown occurs which destroys the papilla. Without the papilla, the hair cannot regenerate.

Electrolysis is not a once-only treatment remedy. One treatment will usually eliminate all visible hairs, but because hair growth is not synchronized, there are many hair follicles under the skin which contain hairs in the beginning growth stage or the dormant state. All hairs go through a growth and replacement cycle, and by successive treatments the hairs will be treated as they emerge during the cycle. Hair on various parts of the body has different growth cycles. The first stage of the cycle is the anagen or growing stage. This is the optimum time for a successful treatment because it is before the hair follicle reaches its maximum depth and the hair bulb is attached to and nourished by the papilla. Therefore, treatment of the hair in the early stage of its appearance is very important to destroy the papilla. (READ MORE
