"Microlysis" hair removal "Microlysis" is the name used by  Global Electrolysis Supply
for a hair removal device that is similar in concept to "transdermal
electrolysis" devices.
As with all other products sold
by Global Electrolysis Supply, Microlysis should be avoided
by consumers.
Available device
Aavexx Electrolysis Micro 1000 Microlysis power system
Description
These Global Electrolysis guys are like Taco Bell-- they keep
combining the same handful of ingredients in slightly different
ways and calling it something new.
The bogus premise this time: Microlysis is a combination of their
Aavexx 300 "transdermal
electrolysis" device and a couple of their topical preparations.
A "micro-head" is rolled across various gels rubbed
on waxed skin:
1. Wax skin.
2. Apply "salicylic acid complex" for two minutes
(just their Mend-Skin product).
3. Apply "anti-androgen complex" two minutes (just
their Psoret product).
4. Apply "sodium hydroxide complex" (just their Liquid Electrolysis
product).
In other words, it take about five minutes to treat a half-inch
square with their tiny micro-head.
Above: half an inch of skin, actual size.
This takes about five minutes to "treat" with microlysis.
As with a lot of their products, these guys try to take legitimate
scientific concepts and apply them to unproven methods of hair
removal. Here, they're borrowing from the idea of iontophoresis,
which allows introduction of certain kinds of chemicals into the
skin via electrical current. Microlysis reverses the flow of DC
electricity through the body, causing an acidic reaction instead
of an alkali on at the skin's surface.
As with their other products, this is sold as a home business
opportunity. This "top seller" will cost you $450 with
no published clinical data top prove it can achieve the results
they claim.
