What are Treatable Areas of the Body?

Most areas of the body are treatable on both women and men. The most common areas for women tend to be, eyebrows, upper lip. chin, sideburns, neck, cheeks, chest, areolas, abdomen, bikini line, lower back, legs, toes, feet, hairline, hands, arms, and underarms. 

For men, the nape, hairline, areolas, chest, back, beard (low grade folliculitis), glabella (uni-brow), neck, ears, nose, shoulders, arms, hands. 

Tweezing, waxing/sugaring, mechanical plucking, bleaching, shaving, depilatories, electronic tweezers and laser can cause the following problems:

• frustration as they are never ending.
• can at times stimulate growth and aggravate the problem.
• can cause ingrown and infected hairs.
• can be irritating to the skin.

Because the upper 1/2 of the follicle is left untreated, the chance of scarring is eliminated. The bulk of the hair follicle destruction is accomplished in the lower 2/3rds of the follicle.

Utilizing an electrified wire to remove ingrown eyelashes in 1875, Dr. Charles E. Michel (an Opthalmologist) established the process of electrolysis for permanent hair removal.

Thermolysis - alternating (oscillating) current uses heat to treat the hair follicle.

Galvanic - direct current causes chemical treatment of follicle cells.

Blend - combination of heat and chemical treatment of hair.
