Anagen: A fully mature growing hair. The first phase of the hair growth cycle (active or lengthening). Adrenal Virilism: A disease relating to the adrenal glands or their secretions accompanied by the presence of male secondary sexual characteristics in a female. Androgens: A steroid hormone, such as testosterone or androsterone, that controls the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics. Also called androgenic hormone. Anode: A positively charged electrode, as of an electrolytic cell, storage battery, or electron tube. Blend Electrolysis: The administration of galvanic and shortwave flux electrolysis to dermal tissue with an insertion probe or needle for the purpose of follicle destruction. Cathode: A negatively charged electrode, as of an electrolytic cell, storage battery, or electron tube. Caustic: Capable of burning, corroding, dissolving, or eating away by chemical action. Cimetidine: An OTC drug, C10H16N6S, that inhibits androgen secretion and receptor affinity in human subjects. Cushing Syndrome: A malignant new growth that arises from epithelium, found in skin or, more commonly, the lining of body organs, for example: breast, prostate, lung, stomach or bowel. DNA Sequencing: Also called DNA fingerprinting. In genetics, method of isolating and making images of sequences of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Any lab technique used to find out the sequence of nucleotide bases in a DNA molecule or fragment. EIRP: Effective isotropic radiated power, energy radiated or transmitted as rays, waves, in the form of particles. Electrical Pressure: Electromotive force or potential difference, usually expressed in volts. Electrolysis: n. Chemical change, especially decomposition, produced in an electrolyte by an electric current. Destruction of living tissue, especially of hair roots, by means of an electric current applied with an electrode. Electrolyte: Any of various ions, such as silver chloride, sodium, potassium, or chloride, required by cells to regulate the electric charge and flow of water molecules across the cell membrane. Electrophoresis: e·lec·tro·pho·re·sis n. 1) The migration of charged colloidal particles or molecules through a solution under the influence of an applied electric field usually provided by immersed electrodes. Also called cataphoresis. 2) A method of separating substances, especially proteins, and analyzing molecular structure based on the rate of movement of each component in a colloidal suspension while under the influence of an electric field. FDA: A Federal Agency in the US that regulates medical devices, drugs, and/or procedures for public safety. The section of the FDA which governs electrolysis is the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CRDH). Galvanic Electrolysis: The administration of galvanic electrolysis to dermal tissue with an insertion probe or needle for the purpose of follicle destruction. Galvanic Skin Resurfacing (G.S.R.): A dermatology procedure in which electricity is applied to the skin for the purpose of collagen production, wrinkle reduction, blemish removal, and overall stimulation. Generally considered more penetrating and aggressive than a standard chemical peel, with fewer side effects and substantially reduced risk of injury to the dermis. Hertz: A unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Hypothyroidism: Insufficient production of thyroid hormones. A pathological condition resulting from severe thyroid insufficiency, which may lead to cretinism or myxedema. Hirsutism: Heavy growth of hair, often in abnormal distribution. Iatrogenic: Induced in a patient by a physician's activity, manner, or therapy. Used especially of an infection or other complication of treatment. Ionizing: To convert or be converted totally or partially into ions. Lanugo: A covering of fine, soft hair, as on a leaf, an insect, or a newborn child. Micro-Amps: A unit of electric current in the meter-kilogram-second system. It is the steady current that when flowing in straight parallel wires of infinite length and negligible cross section, separated by a distance of one meter in free space, produces a force between the wires of 2 × 10-7 newtons per meter of length. A unit in the International System specified as one International coulomb per second and equal to 0.999835 ampere. Microlysis: The migration of charged colloidal particles or molecules through a solution under the influence of an applied electric field usually provided by immersed electrodes. Also called cataphoresis. 2) A method of separating substances, especially proteins, and analyzing molecular structure based on the rate of movement of each component in a colloidal suspension while under the influence of an electric field. NaOH: a white opaque brittle solid, NaOH, having a fibrous structure, produced by the action of quicklime, or of calcium hydrate (milk of lime), on sodium carbonate. It is a strong alkali, and is used in the manufacture of soap, in making wood pulp for paper, etc. Non-Invasive: The administration of electrolysis by other means than a needle (no penetration through or by way of the skin): also called transdermal inoculation; transdermal medication. The administration of electrolysis to dermal tissue without an insertion probe or needle (example: electrified Q-tip). Ohms: A unit of electrical resistance equal to that of a conductor in which a current of one ampere is produced by a potential of one volt across its terminals. Oscillator: n : produces radio frequency oscillations or alternating current. Ovarian Cancer: Any of various malignant neoplasms characterized by the proliferation of anaplastic cells that tend to invade surrounding tissue of ovaries and metastasize to new body sites. The pathological condition characterized by such growths. Papilla: A small nipplelike projection, such as a protuberance on the skin, at the root of a hair or feather, or at the base of a developing tooth. Salicylic Acid: A white crystalline acid, C6H4(OH)(COOH), used in making aspirin, as a preservative, and in the external treatment of skin conditions such as eczema. ShortWave/RF: Having a wavelength of approximately 10 to 200 meters. Capable of receiving or transmitting at wavelengths of approximately 10 to 200 meters: a shortwave radio. Stein-Leventhal Syndrome: Cystic growth and precancerous lesions inside the ovarian gland. Synergistic: Used especially of drugs or muscles that work together so the total effect is greater than the sum of the two (or more) [syn: interactive] [ant: antagonistic] 2: of or relating to the theological doctrine of synergism 3: working together; used especially of groups, as subsidiaries of a corporation, cooperating for an enhanced effect; "a synergistic effect" . Thermolysis: Physiology. Dissipation of heat from the body, as by evaporation. Chemistry. Dissociation or decomposition of compounds by heat. Transdermal Electrolysis: trans·der·mal (trns-dûrml, trnz-) adj. Through or by way of the skin: transdermal inoculation; transdermal medication. The administration of electrolysis to dermal tissue without an insertion probe or needle (example: electrified Q-tip). |
