How is the strength of the galvanic current used in electrology measured?

The strength of the galvanic current used in electrology is measured in milliamperes (mA). This unit allows for measuring small currents, which is essential in the electrology field because the current applied during electrolysis needs to be carefully controlled to effectively destroy hair follicles without causing damage to surrounding tissue.

Using milliamperes is particularly relevant because electrologists typically operate with low-level currents during hair removal procedures. This precision helps to ensure client safety and comfort while achieving the desired effects of the treatment. Current strength is crucial for achieving the right amount of electrolysis without exceeding safe parameters, which would otherwise lead to adverse effects.

Ohms is a unit of measurement for resistance, volts measure electrical potential, and amperes represent current in a broader sense. However, for practical applications in electrology where fine control is necessary, milliamperes provide the most appropriate scale for measurement.
