Talk:Electrology

Moved to Electrology
I have moved this topic to Electrology instead of Electrolysis (cosmetology) for three reasons: Jokestress 22:08, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * To distinguish the practice of electrology from other meanings of electrolysis.
 * Not all electrical epilation is strictly electrolysis. One method uses diathermy rather than electrolytic reaction.
 * Not all electrology is cosmetology: the original ophthalmologist's paper from 1875 described its use as a medical procedure to cure trichiasis. Electrology is still used for both cosmetic and medical purposes to this day.


 * Electrolysis is a practiced world wide trade or profession where operators remove unwanted hair from people or animals permentantly. This whole field of electrolysis(hair removal) was started in 1875 by Charles E. Michel M.D. It is recognized as a trade by the Manitoba government! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.160.202.86 (talk • contribs) 17:56, 29 March 2005, Moved to this article on 03:40, 26 June 2005 bu User:Omegatron


 * Uncertain as to the relevance of the definition of one canadian province (Manitoba) on a dictionary project for the whole english speaking world. Graldensblud 20:27, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Neutrality
Although I have no opinions on the matter, I was recently contacted by a user claiming that this article is biased. In deference to that statement, I've added a neutrality dispute template to the article. I'd encourage any involved parties to discuss the accuracy and fair coverage of this article.

 * Refusing to allow an editor to linkspam her non-notable business website (her only contributions ever to the project) is not an NPOV issue. I've removed the tag. Jokestress 18:21, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I have edited the final paragraph, which was biased and unencyclopedic.Snafflekid 19:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Adverse events
Discussion of side effects, etc. should be added. -- Beland (talk) 18:01, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Agreed; I had understood that electrolysis can cause scarring, while laser hair removal had a far lower probability of such effects. I was surprised to find this article devoid of any such discussions. Ouizardus (talk) 02:33, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
