Gior, 1972 In 1971, Fino Gior, then president of the International Guild
of Professional Electrologists, purchased an Omicron PhotoEpilator
for evaluation.
Gior treated 49 areas in an uncontrolled study:
 20 upper lips
15 chins
11 sets of eyebrows
3 male backs
All areas received three hours of treatment. After six months
of observation, Gior concluded, "The results in all cases
except the eyebrows was 100% regrowth. The eyebrows showed a very
small improvement in 5 cases in which the women were over 50 years
of age. I concluded this apparent permanent removal was simply
due to mechanical tweezing, which at times can withdraw the dermal
papillae."
"My conclusions were later confirmed by all electrologists
using the apparatus in the state of California."
