It's safe, effective and uses no needles. A gentle current is emitted through three separate bioactive gel formulas containing synthetic anti-androgen, mild acids and semi-caustic electrolytes. The electric current carries the bio-active formulation down to the dermal papilla (from which the hair grows). This causes a reaction that substantially traumatizes, slows, weakens and dissolves the hair.
