but there is no scientific proof of this.

Description
Conductive gel is spread on the skin.
Electricity is passed through a cotton swab which is touched to the gel.
Electricity supposedly travels down the hair follicle and permanently damages the hair root.
Quack Claims
“Painless and permanent”
“No side effects”
“Clinically proven”
“More effective than electrolysis,without the needle”
“Hair can conduct enough energy to kill the root.”
“Offer your salon clients permanent hair removal.”
“Makes a great home business.”
Background
These devices are heavily promoted to beauticians through trade
shows and magazines. Many practitioners believe the device actually
works as claimed, thus unwittingly taking money from consumers
for ineffective professional treatments. Called transdermolysis, no-needle electrolysis, and non-invasive
electrolysis.
