The present invention relates to a method for removing hair from a localized area of a patient's skin through surface electrolysis. The method of the present invention is non- invasive in that the patient's skin is never penetrated by a needle or the like. In a preferred method of the invention, a ground terminal is placed on the skin proximate a selected localized treatment area from which hair is to be removed. Thereafter, an electrified probe terminal, which includes an absorbent material saturated with an electrode solution, is touched directly to a micro-area of skin within the localized treatment area while maintaining a close association between the electrified probe terminal and the ground terminal. Therefore, the electric current path between the probe and the ground is not a substantially greater length than the width of the localized treatment area. The electric current causes electrolysis of the hair follicles in the micro-area being treated. Thereafter, the electrified probe terminal may be moved to successive micro-areas within the localized treatment area to perform electrolysis of hairs in those micro-areas. After a selected time period of decomposition, the hairs can be easily removed from the patient's skin.
