It
is considered a permanent hair removal
method and is approved by the U.S.-FDA
and American Medical Association.
In this method a fine needle is passed
in the follicle. But instead of direct
current, alternating current is passed
in the needle. This current creates
enough heat to destroy the follicle.
The loosened hair is then removed
with tweezers. Every hair is treated
individually and process takes only
seconds per hair. Since, the technique
destroys the hair follicle; it is
considered a permanent hair removal
method. The hair root may persist,
if the needle misses the mark or if
insufficient current is delivered
to destroy it.
The
technique is a little painful and time consuming
as each hair follicle is treated separately
and on multiple sessions spanning months
to a few years. Fifty percent of hairs re-grow
after each treatment. Face, under arms,
ears are suitable area to be treated in
women and men both.
