Electrolysis pen
Description
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of an electrolysis pen, showing my new design;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a left end elevational view thereof; and
FIG. 5 is a right end elevational view thereof.
In use the electrolysis pen is connected to an electrical supply by a cable attached to the lefthand end of the pen, and an electrolysis needle is fitted to the righthand end of the pen. The end of the needle is then applied to the root of a hair on the patient's body, and the needle is energized by depressing the push-button switch so as to apply a charge to the root of the hair. The hair is thereby killed and subsequently falls away from the body.
