Who is Charles Michel?
Charles Michel was an American ophthalmologist best known for publishing the first clinical report of successful electrology in 1875.
Michel was practicing in St. Louis, Missouri, when he began using a battery-powered needle epilator to treat trichiasis in 1869. This direct current–powered method was called electrolysis because a chemical reaction in the hair follicle causes sodium hydroxide to form, which damages the follicle. Electrolysis is also sometimes called galvanic electrolysis.
