Get Straight Hair

This electric tweezers will save you hundreds of dollars on electrolysis sessions that you can now perform in the privacy of your home. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. The treatment can be somewhat painful and can exceed the comfort level of some individuals.
  3. A certain level of skill is required to achieve the best results. It takes some practice to gain proficiency in the procedure. 
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Difficult to use but works very well
Reviewer: Stephanie   2008-06-02

Using the Vector takes some patience and determination but assuming that you can use it properly the results are permanent like advertised. Ive had the Vector for over 6 months and the hair I treated is not growing back.

Doesn't Work
Reviewer: Wendy from TN   2008-02-17

Tried it, didn't work. Hair came back faster and darker.

Time consuming
Reviewer: Kelly Marteene   2008-01-13

This product seems to work, but after using it for a while it feels like i'm not really getting anywhere with the results, also heaps of gel is needed.

Low Quality
Reviewer: TrueMan   2008-01-12

I am not sure if it works, but I'm not getting that tickling feeling (I did electrolysis so I know how it feels). The most important part, the tweezers, are very low quality, so it is uncomfortable to work with. You often can not catch the hair, and it slips away when you do. For 199$ the tweezers could be golden, but they dont even cost a buck.. I would not buy this thing...

does work!
Reviewer: Kori   2007-09-15

I used this product about 6 months ago. Although it was very time consuming, at least 200 hours, 60%-70% of my facial hair is permanently removed. I am assuming that the other 30%-40% of the hair that is still there either grew back or is hair that was dormant at that time. The hair that is there is so spread out that I do not have a visible 5 o'clock shadow anymore. I would recommend this product along with some tips! Ease into the process until you get used to it. Use a lower setting at first and do not keep the tweezers closer than an 1/8th inch from your skin, it will burn and leave scars. Have plenty of gel on hand, order extras! The gel is definitely the key and don't be afraid to use it generously.
