Talk:Electrolysis (cosmetology)

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have moved this topic to Electrology instead of electrolysis (cosmetology) for three reasons:

  • To distinguish the practice of electrology from other meanings of electrolysis.
  • Not all electrical epilation is strictly electrolysis. One method uses diathermy rather than electrolytic reaction.
  • Not all electrology is cosmetology: the original ophthalmologist's paper from 1875 described its use as a medical procedure to cure trichiasis. Electrology is still used for both cosmetic and medical purposes to this day.
