ABSTRACT:
A permanent hair removal method includes the steps of preparing the surface of the skin, including the removal of excess hair and the application of suitable cleansers and degreasers. Alkaline ions, in a gel, cream, ointment or solution containing a buffered solution of potassium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate are applied to the clean, prepared surface. Apparatus using massage, ultrasound or other treatment modalities, promotes the penetration of the alkaline ions into the skin and hair follicles. The alkaline ions are then heated in situ through the use of a radiant energy source apparatus such as, for example, a laser, a infra red lamp or other high intensity light source. Radiant energy can also be provided by microwave or diathermy sources. The heated alkaline ions will then destroy all hair cells that are encountered.
