Electrified tweezer is one of the most effective way to remove unwanted hairElectricrified tweezers were patented in 1959 and named by promoters as a "painless and permanent" choice to electrolysis. "Professional" electricrified tweezers were promoted in the 1970's to beauticians, who in turn unwittingly charged their clients for unproven "permanent" treatments.
In 1985, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission charged electricrified tweezer as a product that can permanently remove hair.
Following FTC's action, electricrified tweezers using direct electric current appeared, exploiting a loophole in 1985 the FTC ruling which only prohibited claims by AC tweezers. Some electric tweezers began selling conductive gel with the tweezers which was used to bolster dubious claims of hair conductivity.
In the 1990's millions of electric tweezer "personal units" were sold through direct response television. In 1997 the top-selling brand IGIA sold alone over $75 million worth of their electric tweezers. The 1990's also saw the modification of electricrified tweezers called "transdermal electrolysis".
So, what is electrified tweezer? And why do many women all over the world like it? What are the advantages and disadvantages of electrified tweezer?
Tweezer is the way of hair removal, when the Radio-frequency electric current with local heat influence destroys hair follicles. It is used for removing hard single hair. In all three methods hair is a conductor of Radio-frequency electric current.
The plot is that each unwanted hair that must be deleted is taken with the fine tweezers-electrode which is united with a machine supplying electric current of the radio frequency. The electric current gets to a follicle and destroys it. However, time of the influence on one hair can reach 1,5-2 minutes that does this procedure of removing hair by electrified tweezer unfit for removing hair on greater space.
The experience of the work has shown that these methods are much less associated with pain and with side effects comparing to regular tweezing. But this method hasn't a great popularity with women because of its small velocity. Also one of the advantages of electrified tweezer is that it saves if it is performed in a proper manner.
There are many disadvantages of electrified tweezer nowadays. First of all, there is no published proof of clinical studies of claims which could say that this method of hair removal can achieve really permanent removal of hair. There isn't any published proof of clinical studies that say that electricity goes through hair and reason long-lasting or permanent hard to the hair root. It is about hundred time slower than the regular tweezing. It can be very expensive even when there isn't any clinical proof published of the permanence (especially expensive can be the "professional" divisions and treatment). Owing to this disadvantages some women refuse to use electrified tweezer and choose other methods of removing hair.
When charging very high price for so-called professional units, the electric tweezers advertisers have discovered that some customers can presume that it is permanent just because of its high price. If the prices become competitive with the needle epilators or laser epilation, it suggests to some clients that they are also competitive in their effectiveness.
Although electricrified tweezers are sold as a professional or a personal unit, still there is no proof published representing the difference in the effect between two different types.
Sometimes electricrified tweezers marketers can say that there is a big difference between electrictrified tweezers that use alternating current and those that use direct current, anyway, there is still no proof published indicating that there is any difference in the effect between two different types.
Universal promotion terms: electrolysis with no-needle, tweezers electrolysis, electrolysis that is non-invasive, and the tweezolysis. A.C. tweezers can also be marketed as RF (radio-frequency) tweezers, HF (high-frequency) tweezers, or ultrasonic tweezers. D.C. tweezers can also be advertised as a galvanic type of tweezers.
