Reputable people usually do not associate themselves with these
devices.
I received the following note on 5 April 2008 from a reader who identified himself as Jerry Aguiar, son of Joe and Doreen Aguiar.
There are a lot of quacks involved with electric tweezers and
no-needle electrolysis, but Joe Aguiar is right up there with Charles
Atallah and Judith Stephens as one of the biggest quacks in the
industry. Below are some quotations from Aguiar's promotional
material, some of which is laughable, and some of which is illegal.

"Perma Tech Hair Removal Institute has discovered a new
method of hair removal - really the newest method in the last

the hair folical. This is the most advanced permanent hair removal
system without the use of needles. There's no swelling, bruising,
or scarring and no risk of infections. You can even apply make
up right after the treatment. We treat hair below and above
the skin.

Transdermal Electrolysis System
Instead of inserting a needle or holding a tweezer, Transdermal
Electrolysis involves placing a probe or a series of 1"x2-3/4"
Transdermal conductors onto our ionized gel to transmit a galvanic
current through the skin to the hair follicles. This current
creates a chemical reaction changing the water and salt present
in the hair follicle to sodium hydroxide. As in the case of
traditional needle electrolysis, the sodium hydroxide destroys
the germinative cells, thus achieving permanent hair removal.
Transdermal is a safer and more effective way to remove hair
from any part of the body. Thousands of hair permanently removed
in one visit.
Because of these factors, permanent hair removal takes time
to accomplish. Our systems accomplish this faster than any system
that is available in the world today. Not even your doctor can
predict how long the process will take.
Perma Tech Q & A
What is the Perma Tech System?
The Perma Tech System is a modern method of hair removal
without the use of needles. It is a permanent, non-invasive
type of electrolysis. Founded on the principle that
hair can be removed
Who is a good candidate for the Perma Tech System?
Anyone desiring to remove unwanted hair is a candidate for
this system. This includes men, women and children of any
age or race.
How does the Perma Tech System work?
Energy is passed down the hair to the follicle which has
been primed with a conductor gel. The water and salt in the
follicle is changed to sodium hydroxide which destroys the
root and papilla which nourishes the hair.
How long will this process take to achieve optimal results?
Since we are unable to see beneath the skin, there is no
way to give an accuarte answer to this question. However,
the Perma Tech System is the fastest, safest method
of permanent hair removal on the market today.
What is the difference between the Perma Tech System and Traditional
Needle Electrolysis?
Both systems kill hair permanently but the difference
is Perma Tech remover is painless and non-invasive (does not
pierce the skin). Needle electrolysis is painful
and may cause scarring, pits or burns. Also, the possibility
of dragging bacterial into the follicle with the needle insertion
of the needle is eliminated with Perma Tech.
What is the affect of the treatment on the appearance of the
skin?
The skin will have a mild pink appearance during the treatment
which will dissappear within a short time, usually 30 minutes
or less. After we cleanse the treated area, the client may
put on makeup and go home. That's all there is to it, no pain,
no scarring, no infection, no scabs and NO HAIR!
Once removed, can a hair grow back?
NO! When a hair follicle has been treated in the Anagen stage,
it will NOT reproduce another hair. The technique is PERMANENT
since individual hair follicles are destroyed. Remember any
stimulus that caused the overgrowth of hair to start with
is not eliminated by hair removal treatments of any kind including
the needle. If the hair being treated is dry, weak or breaks
off below the skin, or is in the process of shedding, it may
slide out before the hair follicle is thoroughly decomposed.
In such a case, there will be ''regrowth'' which will be finer,
lighter or less noticeable in appearance. This is partially
destroyed regrowth.
What causes excess hair growth?
It can be atrtributed to a number of factors such as hormonal
changes, stress, some medication and puberty. Pregnancy and
menopause also play an important part.
How often wil I have to come for treatments?
Maximum results are achieved when the hair first appears
above the skin line. Therefore, appointments MUST be scheduled
on a weekly basis until the technician is unable to grasp
a sufficient number of hairs.
Should I bleach or wax between treatments?
Bleaching hair does not interfere with Perma Tech treatments.
Bleaching removes color and water inside the hair shaft itself
but DOES NOT AFFECT THE HAIR FOLLICLES STRUCTURE AT ALL. Waxing
is also permitted and does not effect the treatment process.
Can more than one hair be treated at a time?
Yes, we are able to treat an area about 12 inches in diameter.
Hair does not have to be completely visible above the skin
line to be treated successfully.
