If you are looking for a way to have unwanted hair removed without the use of any needles, even though regular electrolysis is not painful, transdermal electrolysis is what you are looking for.
The Needle-Less Alternative
Electrolysis uses a fine needle inserted into the hair follicle to kill the root with a small charge of electricity. A variant of this needle electrolysis is known as transdermal electrolysis that has especially been created to do away with many of the problems caused by needle electrolysis.
Transdermal electrolysis uses a gel to carry the electric current into the follicle instead of a needle. Transdermal electrolysis is not like needle electrolysis in that there is used a needle-tipped probe to transmit the current instead of an actual needle. Thus, just like electronic tweezers, this method too is not invasive and there are fewer reactions since the use of needles to penetrate the skin is not necessary.
Like any hair removal procedure, the major disadvantage is the cost. The process is cheap but it takes a long time which results in high labor costs.
Transdermal electrolysis is not like the conventional electrolysis and there are a number of reasons for this including not requiring to insert needles into the hair follicle. Some of the advantages to using transdermal electrolysis include it being painless as well as permanent, as well as treating hair below as well as above the skin. There is also the absence of swelling, bruising, scabbing and scarring, and it is especially effective in treating distorted follicles as well as ingrown hairs.
Transdermal electrolysis would be the best option if you are a little skittish about needles. You can sign up for my newsletter to get more information on health and beauty.
