Exploring Electrolysis Probes: Evolution and Effectiveness
Electrolysis, since its inception in 1875, has undergone significant evolution, particularly in the realm of probes. Initially, needles were used, often leading to discomfort, burns, and infections due to unsterile practices. Multi-probe electrolysis attempted to expedite the process but proved too uncomfortable.
Modern Electrolysis Probes: Safe, Sterile, and Effective
