No needle electrolysis ~ Huh?

I was searching for something on the web, and i came accross this place that claims they offer no needle electrolysis, which is better than electrolysis and laser, and treats up to 10 hairs at once. They also claim its more effective. What can they possibly offer? It doesnt sound valid to me whatsoever, unless its something i havent heard about before. Here is the link and info on “no needle electrolysis” is further down on the bottom of the page.

No needle electrolysis

In addition to no needle “electrolysis”, they seem to offer some other pretty incredible services as well.

I suspect they are using one of those transdermal patch “electrolysis” machines, even though it looks like she is holding some sort of needleholder. Is the woman in the picture using an Aavarox machine? It looks like one.

Ah my darlings. Rest your pretty heads.
An Aavarox/Aavox/Aavex machine would never be in a spa. In person, they just look as cheap and chintzy as they really are inside. Furthermore, they would have to be completely rewired so that they would stand up to actually being used more than a few hours and tossed in to the back of the closet.

The machine in this picture is most likely a TES-629 machine made by American Hair Removal Systems.

Is it a scam? What do you think about a cotton swab being dipped into electrode gel and run in circles followed by tweezing the hairs?

Come on, there is a hershey’s kiss for the students with the right answer (and no peeking over on HairFacts.com/scams.html for the answer. No looking up Transdermal electrolysis scam either.)

Ah, yes, I remember seeing an ad from AHRS long ago, in a well-known TG community publication. They were selling a similar unit (maybe the same?) for about about $1200 to home users, with an endorsement from a TS claiming they easily did their own electro and “you can too!”. It used a cotton swab deal too, and touted the ability to remove all hair in a dime sized area in a minute or so.

I remember finding it a bit disappointing that a reputable community publication would allow someone to place an ad for such an obvious quack device, especially targeting an obviously vulnerable audience. :frowning:

Hey, they bought their ad space just like the dating service in the back of the magazine :wink:

But yes, it is sad that a TG publication would take part in a scam that would serve to cheat someone out of enough money to get a first clearance, or close to it.
