What type of direct current is used for Electrolysis?

The use of galvanic current for electrolysis is fundamental because this type of direct current produces a chemical reaction when it passes through the skin and hair follicles. In electrolysis, the galvanic current acts by breaking down the hair structure, allowing the hair to be removed permanently. This process occurs through a technique called electrochemical decomposition, where the current creates a reaction at the hair follicle, leading to the destruction of the hair root.

Galvanic current is unique in its ability to facilitate electrolysis due to its consistent and stable nature, allowing for effective treatment. It contrasts with alternating current, which does not provide the same results in this context, as it oscillates and does not produce the necessary chemical reaction. Static current and high-frequency current also serve different purposes in skin treatment and hair removal but are not suitable for the electrolysis method, where sustained direct current action is required for effectiveness.
