Shortwave Tweezer Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions


How Does Shortwave Tweezer Hair Removal Work?

Water molecules inside the follicle shaft are "excited" over 27 million times per second through the use of high intensity radio waves, resulting in a Thermolysis (heating) effect. It works exactly the same way a microwave oven cooks food. This heat build-up thermally desiccates (dries) and coagulates (cooks) the hair papilla cells. This creates site-specific deep-tissue traumatization, which severely damages hair follicle tissue beyond the point of regeneration.

Clients Appreciate Painless Hair Removal!

Beauty salons, cosmetologists, physicians, and home-use customers have long awaited an effective, yet painless, solution to unwanted hair growth. Countless studies have been performed to determine the effectiveness of short-wave epilation. These reports give irrefutable proof of the thermal damage produced to the follicle tissues which were treated. Careful measurements of cellular composition as well as detailed biopsies substantiate the progressive growth reduction of short-wave hair removal.

Shortwave Hair Removal is Safe and Tested!

The safety of Thermolysis has been previously established by Dr. Appleton, M.D., Ophthalmology (a world renowned researcher, surgeon and expert on microwave cataracts). Dr. Appleton conducted a scientific study to determine the safety of shortwave radiation for hair removal. It was found that short-wave epilators were safe for consumer use.

Dr. Nellie Konnikov, M.D., Professor and Director of Clinical Investigations Unit at Tufts University's New England Medical Center Hospitals, conducted a well-controlled, double blind clinical study(1) of High Frequency Radio Energy treatments on hair growth.

This study is the first to compare scientifically and evaluate statistically, the difference in efficacy of High Frequency Radio Energy treatments of unwanted hair to plucking or tweezing as a conventional technique of removing unwanted hair.

The conclusion of the 9-month study, which consists of 6 months of treatments and a 3-month follow-up examination, showed permanency in 6 months of short-wave epilation treatments to the face and body. The study also shows this method provides "a safe and painless" approach to the troublesome problem of unwanted hair without needles.
