    Notes

    Owner Lucy Peters co-authored a widely-quoted medical paper with Dr. Albert Kligman:

    • Histologic changes in human hair follicles after electrolysis: a comparison of two methods.
    • Cutis, August 1984, 34:169-176.

    While the methodology of the comparison has been questioned, this is widely considered to be one of the best discussions of the effect of electrolysis and theories of regrowth prevention.
