Professional salons can begin offering permanent hair removal services for a very low start-up cost. The Vector™ Hair Removal System has been designed for use in professional salons or for high-performance hair removal at home. It is the only hair removal system on the market that has the same output power as professional electrolysis machines. Unlike other hair removal devices that use radio frequencies and batteries, the Vector™ uses the process of electrolysis to dissolve the hair follicle by producing sodium hydroxide in the hair shaft. The Vector System includes a foot pedal that allows you to control the flow of the current. The current will flow only when the foot pedal is pressed, giving the user the ability to precisely grasp hair with the galvanic tweezers without shocking the skin. Once the tweezers are in the ideal position, the current can be activated by pressing the foot pedal. The Vector™ permanently removes even the coarsest hair. A license is required to operate the Vector System with a traditional electrolysis needle.         IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE VECTOR SYSTEM: The Vector System works the same way as professional electrolysis machine and therefore hair is removed one at a time. It is not possible to permanently remove a patch of hair. The treatment process requires patience and determination. The treatment can be somewhat painful and can exceed the comfort level of some individuals. A certain level of skill is required to achieve the best results. It takes some practice to gain proficiency in the procedure.  You must be realistic about your expectations, the Vector System removes one hair at a time and therefore it can take a long time to permanently remove hair from large areas. It is easier to remove coarse, thick hair then very light "peach fuzz" hair. A greater degree of skill is required to permanently remove thin and light hair. Any time you have questions or need assistance with operating the Vector System you can contact the Vector Electrolysis 24 hour support line at 888-736-7417 and a trained professional will walk you through the procedure so you can get the best possible results from your treatment.     How Does Electrolysis Work? Electrolysis is a process in which a needle is inserted into the hair shaft and then an electrical current is passed through the hair follicle. Although hair itself is dry, below the surface of the skin it is immersed in a watery environment with a high mineral content. The electrical current from the needle causes a chemical reaction and turns the water and salt in the hair follicle into sodium hydroxide (NaOH), which is an extremely corrosive alkali. If you were to put just a drop of pure sodium hydroxide on your skin, it would instantly burn a hole right through. This sodium hydroxide dissolves the hair follicle and the papilla causing a complete and permanent destruction of hair growth. Even though this is a highly effective procedure, it is also has many drawbacks. First of all, the insertion of a needle into the skin over and over again can be quite painful. Treatment with a needle also requires a high degree of skill, the technician must guide the needle very accurately to reach the bottom of the hair follicle. Penetrating the skin with a needle also increases chances of infection.  As it turns out, it is completely unnecessary to insert a needle to produce sodium hydroxide in the hair follicle. The Vector™ machine works by simply grasping the hair with tweezers and applying a highly conductive gel with silver chloride. Without the electrically conductive gel this process would not work, as hair cannot conduct electricity. Applying silver chloride gel to the hair above the skin allows electrical current to pass over the non-conductive portion down into the hair follicle.   WARNING:     Hair removal achieved by the Vector System is irreversible.
