Electrolysis has been performed since 1875. Electrolysis satisfactorily removes hair from women with static hair growth, but women with hirsutism often require concomitant management of their hormonal problems. We have found the blend method to be the most effective modality for permanent hair removal. Attention must be given to proper electrolysis technique, including accurate needle insertion and appropriate intensities and duration. Scarring does not occur with properly performed electrolysis. Hair is not an electrical conductor and electronic tweezers do not result in permanent hair removal. Shaving 1 to 5 days before electrolysis greatly increases efficacy because it ensures that only growing anagen hairs are epilated. The recent availability of EMLA (eutectic mixture of local anesthetics) has been beneficial in reducing the sensations of electrolysis. The availability of prepackaged, presterilized, individual electrolysis needles has greatly reduced the need for more complicated sterilization procedures.
自1875年以来就已开展电解脱毛术。电解脱毛术能令人满意地去除毛发静止生长的女性的毛发，但多毛症女性通常需要同时治疗其激素问题。我们发现混合法是最有效的永久性脱毛方式。必须注意正确的电解技术，包括准确进针以及合适的强度和持续时间。正确实施电解脱毛术不会导致瘢痕形成。毛发不是电导体，电子镊子不能实现永久性脱毛。电解前1至5天刮毛可大大提高疗效，因为这样能确保仅拔除处于生长期的毛发。最近可获得的EMLA（局部麻醉剂的共熔混合物）有助于减轻电解时的感觉。预包装、预灭菌的一次性电解针的出现大大减少了对更复杂消毒程序的需求。
