Liquid Electrolysis Liquid Electrolysis the name used by  Global Electrolysis Supply
for a topical depilatory liquid that is similar in concept to
Epil-Stop and other caustic liquids.
As with all other products sold
by Global Electrolysis Supply, Liquid Electrolysis should be
avoided by consumers.
Available products
Liquid Electrolysis ($400.00 for 384 dram)
This is one of Global Electrolysis Supply's earliest products.
This "medical breakthrough" can't be that effective,
or they wouldn't have had to move into selling other methods.
The active ingredient is a common depilatory that dissolves hair
above the skin's surface. There is no published clinical data
showing this depilatory has any long-term effect on hair growth.
Quack claims
