We have practiced electroepilation using insulated needles on
approximately 500 patients over a five-year period using electroepilation
equipment that produced a thermolysis (high frequency) current.
Our patients were given three to eight treatments at two-week
to three-month intervals. The results for 73 patients, observed
six months to three years after their last epilation, showed little
or no hair regrowth and no scarring. We attribute our success
to concomitant factors: We were able to destroy the hair papilla
using a long-duration, high-frequency current while protecting
the skin surface from scarring by using an insulated needle.
