How does the
EPD hair removal
system work?
2.4
Electrolysis
Normal epilators grip the hairs with their rotating disks, which work like small
tweezers, and rip them out along with the roots. This effect lasts for up to four
weeks.
The permanent hair removal performed by the MEDISANA hair removal system
EPD goes one step further. A gentle electric impulse from the electrodes attacks
the growth cells in the hair roots. The hair root is atrophied. After the hairs have
been pulled out, you are free from irritating hairs for a long time.
The MEDISANA device is supplied along with special self-adhesive electrode
pads for dif- ferent areas of the body. You can use this pain-free method where
you like.
During this electrolysis technique, a barely noticeably current is applied to the
basis of the hair follicle. A chemical reaction causes the nutrition supply to be
cut off. Renewed growth is strongly delayed - so the technology treats not only
visible hairs, but also destroys the root bit by bit for long-lasting epilation. It is
important that the hair is in its growth phase.
