Abstract
An electrolysis system comprises one or more patches that are secured to a skin surface. Electric current generated by an electrolysis machine directs electric current between the one or more patches and the underlying skin area. This electric current is effective to be transmitted along hair follicles underlying the patches so as to perform an electrolysis operation on the underlying hair. After a selected time period of decomposition, the hairs underlying the patch can be easily removed from the patient's skin.
