What is Electrology?

Electrology is the practice of electrical hair removal to permanently remove human hair from the body. Electrolysis is the process of removing hair using electricity.

In electrolysis, a qualified expert called an electrologist slides a hair-thin, solid metal probe into each hair follicle without perforating the skin (when embedded appropriately). Electricity is conveyed to the follicle by the probe, which causes localized harm to the regions that create hairs, either through the arrangement of caustic sodium hydroxide (the galvanic strategy), overheating (thermolysis), or both (the blend method).

METHODS:

There are three methods used in Electrology. They are:

• Galvanic method
• Thermolysis
• Blend method

1. Galvanic Method:

In the Galvanic Method, a positive ground power supply which delivers 0-3 milliamperes into the body. The follicular probe is the cathode of an electrolytic cell. Sodium hydroxide developed at the cathode by means of chemical electrolysis destroys the hair matrix cells. Modern galvanic hair removers automatically adjust the voltage to maintain a constant current.

2. Thermolysis:

It is also known as radio frequency (RF), shortwave or diathermy.

In thermolysis, a radio transmitter, usually with an output of about 0-8 watts at a frequency of 13.56 MHz. RF energy radiates from the probe tip to tissue within about a millimeter. Thermolysis works by heating the hair matrix cells to about 48 to 50 °C (118 to 122 °F), causing electrocoagulation.

3. Blend method:

In the Blend method, the above-mentioned Galvanic Method and Thermolysis are combined. It uses both RF and direct current to remove the hair from the body.

What is Dermatovenereology?

Dermatology

Dermatology is the branch of medical science that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases, its appendages (hair, nails) and adjoining mucous membrane (mouth, genital).

Venereology

Venereology is the branch of medical science that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) also called "venereal diseases".

Dermato-venerology is a branch of dermatology which deals with the study of sexually transmitted diseases whose consequences give birth to skin diseases. Venereology and dermatology can be studied together as in most of the sexually transmitted diseases the foremost symptom appears on the skin. Bacteria, virus, and parasites are the major causative agents for venerel diseases.

• HIV infection, syphilis, gonorrhea, candidiasis, herpes simplex, human papillomavirus
• Sexually transmitted infections: chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum, granuloma inguinale, hepatitis B, and cytomegalovirus infection

9 Skin Diseases You Can Pick Up at the Gym

Gym-goers may aim to leave sessions stronger, lighter, faster, or healthier than before, they can also depart with an unwanted skin condition.

A study found that gym weights have 362 times more germs than a toilet seat.

Here are some of the most likely culprits for post-workout rash, bumps, or sores, and how you can avoid getting and spreading gym germs.
