Ultrasound Tweezers
-
Ultrasound tweezers are also called radio frequency electric tweezers. These tweezers claim that a modified alternating current will travel all the way down to the hair's root and grasp the hair. The hair follicle is then damaged by electricity, and thus, the hair is removed.
Galvanic Electric Tweezers
-
Galvanic tweezers use direct current. This type also claims its current can reach the hair's root and function the same as regular galvanic electrolysis. There is not any scientific evidence to support this claim, however.

Advantages
-
If used properly, hair removal with electric tweezers is pain-free and safe. There are also no side effects.
Disadvantages

The main disadvantage to electric tweezer use is that its effectiveness is unknown; there is no clinical data to back up the claims. Another disadvantage is that it can seem to be slower than manual tweezing.
Warnings
-
It is important to follow all directions on the electric tweezer you decide to use. Make sure you understand exactly how it works and what it is supposed to do. Mishandling or misuse of the product may result in damage to your hair or skin.
