It involves a tiny needle, smaller than a hair, inserted into the hair follicle, which is hollow so you don’t feel discomfort. Then a small amount of diathermy, which feels like a small burst of heat is released into the follicle.
Each hair grows in a structure known as a hair follicle. The root of the hair sits at the base of this follicle. To destroy the growth the heat is created by the treatment at the root of the hair, by the insertion of a minute probe or needle into the follicle. Once it is in place, the current is activated. Do not be alarmed with the term ‘needle’. These are supplied in measurements ranging in thousandths of an inch, therefore can only just be seen by the naked eye.
The heat cauterizes the tiny blood vessels supplying the hair and separates the dead hair from its base. The hair is then gently removed.
It is highly suitable for both Men & Women!
