Electrolysis was discovered in 1875 by Dr. Charles Michel, an ophthalmologist who wanted a safe, effective way to remove ingrown eyelashes which frequently led to blindness. He discovered that the eyelash could be removed by inserting a fine wire into the hair follicle. This wire was charged by a battery. To his amazement the hair was permanently removed and never grew back. The method was soon adapted for treatment of excess hair on other parts of the body. From that day until the present, the same basic technique has been used, only greatly improved and modernized.
