ELECTROLYSIS

• THE PERMANENT REMOVAL OF '- .. ■ SUPERFLUOUS HAIRS. MRS. ROLLESTcta INTERVIEWED., The misery and distress experienced by many who endure the disfigurement of superfluous -hairs induced me to seek what 1 may term a little insight on the most efficacious method of permanently removing them. ,1 therefore arranged an interview with our leading authority, Mrs. Rolleston, feeling sure that reliable information would be forthcoming. Mrs. Rolleston assured me that it was with pleasure she- would endeavour to enlighten mc on the subject, though it was one she always felt reluctant to write about or advertise owing to the oxueme.sensitiveness of ninny.6o afflicted. Really, she added, if each one only realised how fow women were free, from superfluous''hairs,; more- or less, they would not regard the-blemish so seriously. . ■i. [have rend in depilatory advertisements. ;that Electrolysis is • not success--1 ul—that it. is painful in the extreme and produces scars. I have also heard from many, (including the medical profession) that Electrolysis is the only remedy. Cnn you explain why there is so much difference of opinion? "Without going into.dotail and denouncing tho- sale of depilatories, I'm afraid I cannot, but I can conscientiously tell yon- Electrolysis is' the one- and only method yet discovered by medical I science to bo an absolute remedy if skilfully performed. The X-rays has not proved satisfactory. It-causes the 'hair to fall out, and there is often rapid recurrence, with tho constant .risk of deep 'burns' and subsequent scarring.'.' Is there any danger connected with the treatment? 'i . ■ "None whatever, providing-the operator ■ is skilful nnd nbsolute cleanliness is observed. It is <i simple process, merely a very fine needle, made for the purpose/, inserted into the follicle at tho base of the selected hair.' A very slight current is -passed through tho needle, and the result depends on tho experience and knowledge of the operator. to | say, this is not'all, but.it gives; you an , impression of tho process'," Can you advise any treatment for | country residents unable to visit youP . "Unfortunately, I cannot. I can only ' advise them to visit their nearest centre periodically and have a few hours' treatment on eacli visit. Most leading towns . have specialists in Electrolysis. If the ; growth is not heavy two or three visits may suffice." ' |~ Is the treatment painful, and does it I scar? • -,-' | "Tho'pain is but slight, and if the | work is skilfully dono, but little, if any, scarring will follow. When tho hairs ' ore deeply rooted aud coarse, slight . marks sometimes remain a few weeks, otherwise, they disappear ivitbin a few days.'' ■ In conclusion, Mrs. Rolleston advises ! weekly treatments when possible. For country clients special arrangements arc . made for a fow hours.on eacli visit, but j at all times nn appointlnont is necessary.With many thanks aud apologies for ! trespassing so on .her valunblo time, I took my departure from x the well-ap-pointed rooms in Lambton Quay, after inspecting aiuong several recent importa- , tious for hair and face treatments the I very fine new model Electrolysis battery • just, imported.—Published by arrange-' i ment.
