Electric Tweezers (a.k.a. rotary epilators)

Facts: They're often advertised as permanent, but facts indicate otherwise. IGIA is one well know manufacturer of hair removal systems using tweezers.

Description: Electric current is applied to a hair through an electrified tweezer. The tweezer grasps the hair above the skin's surface and holds it anywhere from 15 seconds to several minutes. Promoters claim (without adequate proof) that the electricity travels down the hair and permanently damages the hair root.

Claims: There is no published clinical data to substantiate the following claims:

· "Painless and permanent."
· "No side effects."
· "Clinically proven."
· "More effective than electrolysis, and without the needle."
· "Hair can conduct enough energy to kill the root."
· These devices generate additional victims when sold as business opportunities:
· "Makes a great home business."
· "Offer your salon clients permanent hair removal."
