Abstract

An electrolysis machine which utilizes an electrically conductive probe to be physically inserted below the surface of the skin to be located next to a hair shaft within the hair follicle. The electrolysis machine includes two completely separate circuits. One circuit uses a direct current, while the other circuit emits a radio frequency. The amperage of the direct current is controlled to not exceed a certain pre-established value. Upon initial establishment of the circuit with the patient, or re-establishing of the circuit with the patient, surges in electrical current are prevented through the use of a circuit which slows the rise of current to the patient.
