Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for removing hair from a person through electrolysis. The method of the present invention is totally non-invasive in as much as the patient's skin is never penetrated by a needle or the like. After cleaning a particular hair to be removed, it is bathed in an electrode solution. Thereafter, a conductor is actually attached to the remote end of the treated hair. Then, current is directed along the treatment solution to the soft moist tissue surrounding the hair within the skin of the patient. Current is directed into the soft moist tissue and downwardly to the hair follicle. The current reaches the salt water content with the hair follicle and this results in the hair follicle undergoing a decomposition process. After a selected time period of decomposition, the hair can be removed from the patient.
