Gene Therapy for Hair Removal |
||||||
|
New from Europe, a revolutionary system of non-invasive permanent hair removal that is safe, effective and uses no needles. A gentle electrical current is emitted from a special 'micro-head' wand through three separate gel formulas containing synthetic anti-androgens, mild acids and caustic electrolytes. The electric current carries these 'bio-active' chemicals through the highly resistant skin barrier, down to the dermal papilla (from which all hair grows). The Microlysis treatment causes a reaction that severely traumatizes, weakens and dissolves the hair... permanently, for life. Virtually any area of the face or body can be treated and results can be seen after as few as 3 treatments. The scientific term for this procedure is known as electrophoresis, which is also used in gene-therapy procedures as well as DNA purification or ribonucleic sequencing. Yes, that's right. Permanent hair removal has been safely achieved using DNA or 'gene' therapy. This is the newest and most advanced form of hair removal currently available (above even laser hair removal). Microlysis can also treat red veins, thread veins, skin tags and warts. Moreover, the first phase of the Microlysis treatment uses a concentrated salicylic acid formulation suspended in a conductive gel compound. This formulation (when applied by way of electrophoresis) has out performed both trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and cauterization techniques for the treatment of advanced Human Papilloma virus and Genital Warts in empirical testing. Microlysis is a very aggressive but equally safe protocol for the site-specific deep traumatization of hair papilla cells and microvasculum (capillaries which produce and support hair growth).

Scientists discovered in the
mid 1980's that
impenetrable
membranes, such a High voltage current passes easily through resistant membranes, bringing with it many substances which were far too large to fit through the tiny molecular spaces. Imagine trying to push a ping pong ball through a screen door. It wouldn't fit, of course. However, by manipulating the electrical fields on either side of the screen (positive and negative), the 'ping pong ball' (molecule) will slide right through one of the tiny holes (without damaging the 'screen' or the object). This discovery is a fantastic and true phenomena of nature, which has opened many doors from genetic engineering, medicine, physics and more.
Anti-Hair Growth Chemicals Anti-androgens (and other chemicals capable of defeating hair growth) are normally very large molecules. The major problem in the treatment of hirsutism is getting them to the hair growth tissues where they can block and permanently destroy cellular activity. If a human subject takes anti-androgens orally (or by injection) for example, huge quantities would be required of (for a considerable time) to produce adequate 'quantitative' levels in the tissues to affect cellular activity. Side effects from hepatic toxicity (liver problems) to reproductive dysfunction would be very frequent. Microlysis completely eliminates this problem by delivering extremely high concentrations of anti-growth agents directly to the desired tissue only. One of the most popular anti-androgen treatment creams on the market (brand name Vaniqa) has one very frustrating limitation: poor absorption. This problem results in a marginal level of results. With the implementation of electrophoresis as the primary delivery medium, these anti-hair growth substances can be delivered in a very efficient manner. Results achieved with prescription Vaniqa have been reported as highly accelerated when applied under electrical pressure.
Salicylic acid and sodium hydroxide are smaller molecules (about 1% of the actual mass) than anti-androgens, but even they will not penetrate the skin under normal circumstances. However, with the implementation of electrophoresis (also called Microlysis) these molecules are easily and readily absorbed into the deep levels of skin where hair growth starts. The power of salicylic acid and sodium hydroxide to destroy tissue (especially follicle tissue) is very well known. Salicylic acid is used by Physicians for the permanent removal of skin tags and warts (quite effectively). Sodium hydroxide is used for the permanent destruction of hair follicle tissues and other skin dysfunctions. Both substances become highly effective when applied under electrical pressure. The overall enhancement of the reaction to the tissue is more than 1000 times that of applying these chemicals without electrophoresis.
It is now possible to safely and quickly kill unwanted hair growth with chemicals which were either poorly absorbed or dangerous in high concentrations. It's not magic, it's Microlysis! [ Click Here for Precision Microlysis and Electrophoresis Equipment ] The Treatment Procedure Microlysis works in three easy steps. During each 'electrophoresis' phase, a highly conductive electrolytic gel (containing anti-growth substances) is placed on the hair growth area. It is then massaged across the skin with the electrified micro-head attachment. Electrons (emitted by the micro-head) carry the anti-hair growth substances through the highly resistant dermal barrier, right into the tissue.
PHASE 1. Salicylic acid complex (commonly used by Physicians for wart removal) is applied for 60 seconds. The acid complex penetrates deeply into the follicle pore and adjacent epidermal tissues where it gently dissolves the papilla cells responsible for growth. PHASE 2. Anti-androgen complex (containing synthetic cimetidine and sabal serrulata plant sterol) is sent into the tissues and down the follicle shaft by electrophoresis for 60 seconds. These substances are proven to block androgen receptors and interrupt hormonal signals which instruct the hair to grow.(1) PHASE 3. Sodium hydroxide gel is applied for 60 seconds, which will neutralize surface pH following the salicylic acid (phase 1) application to reduce visible trauma of the epidermis while simultaneously traumatizing the microvasculum and papilla matrix deep within the shaft.
Outstanding Short-Term Results At first glance, Microlysis may appear somewhat similar to Transdermal electrolysis; however, the two treatments could not be more different. Transdermal traumatizes the hair growth tissues by way of a negative charge (thereby creating sodium hydroxide inside the follicle shaft). Microlysis uses a positive charge, which creates a very mild chemical change in the tissue by producing hydrochloric acid. The HCl does have some minor impact on the lower follicle tissues; however, the salicylic acid in the phase 1 gel produces far more traumatization to the entire hair follicle itself. Both HCl and salicylic acid work in unison (having acidic pH and overall chemical properties) for the massive damage to the hair growth tissues deep inside the dermal layers.
Where Microlysis shows its superiority is when the anti-androgen (phase 2) complex is added. These bio-active sterols and synthetic anti-androgens are pushed through the skin into tissues where the hair growth is supported. The compounds block the hormonal signals which instruct the hair to grow thereby shutting down the actual growth process on a genetic level. This creates a vastly improved short-term result, which is a major factor when keeping your patient motivated to continue the treatment program at your salon. The faster they see results, the less likely they will 'dropout' from your practice (a full 90% of patient dropouts under normal electrolysis occur within the first 60 days). [ Click Here for Precision Microlysis and Electrophoresis Equipment ] More Information for the 'Scientific Mind' Electrophoresis is a method that separates macromolecules-either nucleic acids or proteins-on the basis of size, electric charge, and other physical properties. The term electrophoresis describes the migration of charged particle under the influence of an electric field. Electro refers to the energy of electricity. Phoresis, from the Greek verb phoros, means "to carry across." Thus, gel electrophoresis refers to the technique in which molecules are forced across a membrane, motivated by an electrical current. Activated electrodes at either end of the gel provide the driving force. A molecule's properties determine how rapidly an electric field can move the molecule through.
How does this technique work?Electrophoresis separation of large (macro) molecules depends upon two forces: charge and mass. When a biological sample, such as proteins or DNA, is mixed in a buffer solution and applied with a conductive gel under electrical pressure, these two forces act together. The electrical current from one electrode repels the molecules while the other electrode simultaneously attracts the molecules. The frictional force of the gel material acts as a "molecular sieve," separating the molecules by size. During electrophoresis, macromolecules are forced to move through the pores when the electrical current is applied. Their rate of migration through the electric field depends on the strength of the field, size and shape of the molecules, relative hydrophobicity of the samples, and on the ionic strength and temperature of the buffer in which the molecules are moving. 1.

Active Ingredients
Cimetidine This is a drug recently made
available over the counter. In large multiple doses daily it can have
anti-androgen effects. These effects are fairly weak when given orally,
although and you have to take a fairly large amount of the drug to get them,
which means it is not a recommended anti-androgen treatment unless delivered
by way of site specific sub-cutaneous injection or by way of
electrophoresis. Treatments: Cimetidine has an anti-androgen effect by
binding of dihydrotestosterone to its receptor. Cimetidine has been used to
treat excess facial hair in women and studies in women with androgenetic
alopecia have yielded promising results. Recently, we have formulated
topical cimetidine preparations to be used in combination with minoxidil.
References: Serenoa Repens In many ways, the proposed
mechanism of action of this herb is similar to that of the drug finasteride.
Finasteride is a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor used in the treatment of prostatic
disease and will soon be available for the treatment of androgenic alopecia.
Whereas side effects of finasteride use include decreased sex drive and
impotence, herbalists recommend serenoa repens as an aphrodisiac. Again, side
effects associated with this herb are essentially nonexistent. . All of these studies indicate
that serenoa repens is an effective antiandrogen. If serenoa repens blocks the effects of this enzymatic reaction in prostatic disease, there is a good chance that it might do the same in androgenic alopecia. By blocking the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase and the formation of dihydrotestosterone, this herb has the potential to prevent the progressive miniaturization of hair follicles. In other words, by acting as an antiandrogen, it can block the progressive loss of hair. References: 1. Schneider HJ, Honold E, Masuhr T Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
