Apply conductive gel provided to treatment area. Insert cotton bud/Q tip into gold
cotton bud/Q tip holder. (If using double-ended cotton bud/Q tip, cut in half). Dip cotton
bud/Q tip into gel and apply to treatment area. Small pulses of completely safe electrical
energy pass through the gel on to the cotton bud/Q tip. When the cotton bud/Q tip is
applied to the treatment area, this energy passes through to the hair follicle. The water
and salt solution are then chemically changed to sodium hydroxide, which slowly
destroys the hair root and papilla. This allows for the painless and permanent removal
of the hair.

To understand how hairs grow and how you can remove them permanently, there are
three things you need to know. First, a person has more than 500 of these follicles per
square inch. Each of these follicles are capable of growing a hair at any time. However,
less than 20% of them grow at the same time.
Second, the hair follicles grow in cycles. Since not all grow at the same time, there are
periods of rest for the follicles. During this rest period, the hair may remain in the follicle
for a long time or it may fall out. The follicle actually shrinks during the rest period and
the dermal papilla cells are separated from the bottom of the follicle. When the rest
period is over, the follicle grows down to meet the dermal papilla again, and the cells
start making another hair. This cycling of each follicle goes on for a lifetime.
For many of the hairs that are typically treated by permanent methods, the period of
active growth may only last for 2 weeks after you see the hair. As you will learn, it is vital
to treat these hairs within this 2 week period while they are still growing.
Third, it takes 8-12 weeks for a hair to grow from the base of the follicle to the surface
of the skin so you can see it. What this means is that even if you just tweeze a hair out,
you have to wait 8-12 weeks for the hair to grow again. Many people think if they tweeze

The pads work the same way as above. The self-adhesive pads also contain conductive
