A small amount of high-frequency electrical current is then applied to the hair. This results in the generation of heat that destroys the hair. After the current is applied the hair is removed with forceps. All instruments used in this process are sterilized for each individual patient, so there is no risk of acquiring AIDS or hepatitis. Often the hairs that grow back are smaller and less noticeable than the original hairs.
Epilation works by causing a small scar around the treated hair.
In people prone to forming thick scars, the scar may be noticeable. If you tend to form thick scars you should not have this procedure done. There is a slight risk of bacterial infection from epilation. If a treated hair becomes red or has pus, call your doctor immediately. Inc. All rights reserved.
