Schuster, 1992 James Schuster is a Wisconsin dermatologist who has prepared
several videos and slide presentations on hair removal.

This demonstrates the chemical reaction that takes place with
an electrified probe using direct (galvanic) current. The analog
medium turns purple in the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
This is the chemical that can permanently damage a hair follicle
in galvanic and blend electrolysis.

Dr. Schuster prepared several hair follicles by leaving the surrounding
skin intact. He then slid an electrolysis probe into the follicle
and immersed the specimen in an analog solution that turns purple
in the presence of lye. After applying direct current, the chemical
reaction gengins to take place. Note the bubbling on the right
side of the specimen-- this is chlorine gas given of by the chemical
reaction of the saltand water in the speciment tissue. Note the
very light purple haze at the base of the follicle, indicating
the presence of lye needed to kill the hair follicle.
