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 hair removal 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.

Here is how it works:

1. An electrode patch is placed anywhere on the body (this patch is used instead of the metal rod used during conventional electrolysis for better comfort during treatment). This patch is then connected to the ground wire and plugged into the Vector. The second wire is plugged into the tweezers.
2. The supplied conductivity gel is coated over the hair (the conductivity gel allows hair above the surface of the skin to conduct electricity, without the conductivity gel the hair has a very high resistance and will not conduct electricity even at lethal voltages) and that hair is then grasped with the tweezers as close as possible to the skin without actually touching the skin.
3. The current will flow from the tweezers down into the hair follicle, causing the watery environment inside the hair follicle to react with salt, resulting in Sodium Hydroxide. If you were to put just a drop of sodium hydroxide on your skin it will burn a hole right through. This chemical process is what dissolves the hair follicle and therefore the hair will never grow again.

You can very quickly treat various types of facial hair, although large areas such as the legs and chest will take a long time since hair is being treated one at a time. The Vector System is the best investment you can make for the following reasons:

1. You pay for the machine just once, but get to keep it for a lifetime and perform unlimited treatments.
2. Get the same results as professional electrolysis but in the privacy of your own home, and without paying up to $100 per hour for electrolysis sessions.
3. Unlike waxing, shaving, or tweezing each hair treated by the Vector System is permanently removed and will never grow back.
   

For example, how much time do you spend every month tweezing your eyebrows? Now imagine tweezing your eyebrows with the Vector System instead and then after just a few treatments never having to tweeze your eyebrows again! You will save yourself hundreds of hours of aggravation and will never have to worry about that embarrassing stubble that comes just several days after tweezing.

Men with very heavy beards can use it to treat random hairs to permanently reduce the amount of hair growth to get a cleaner look when shaving. Even the sharpest razors will not give you a very close shave if the beard is very thick and coarse. After treatments with the Vector System you will have reduced hair growth making shaving smoother and less irritating. Alternatively, some men may prefer to completely remove the entire beard.

Either way, all of us have some unwanted hair that we wouldn't mind getting rid of. Isn't it worth just a one time purchase of $199.95 to own the Vector System and never have to worry about unwanted hair again?

Optional feature:

The Vector System comes with an input for a foot pedal on the rear of the unit. When the foot pedal is not being used the Vector is always "live" and puts out current. When the foot pedal is plugged in, the current only flows when the foot pedal is pressed. The addition of the foot pedal makes treatments much more efficient and comfortable since it allows more precisely positioning the tweezers (the optimal position for the tweezers is as close as possible to the skin, without actually touching the skin). This optional accessory is sold separately and can be added any time. We highly recommend the addition of the foot pedal for the most efficient and comfortable treatments.
