The Technical Arm of Your
Clinical Practice

Since 1963, Terry System has acted as the trusted partner of the medical community in Lisbon for the definitive resolution of hair follicle pathologies, where pharmacology and laser meet limits.

Clinical Indications & Evidence

1

Paradoxical Hypertrichosis

Dermatological studies indicate incidence of ~10% paradoxical stimulation of vellus hair after photothermolysis, especially on the face/neck (phototypes III-IV).

Intervention: Electrolysis is the only safe method to reverse this, treating the follicle individually without thermal dispersion.
2

Hirsutism & PCOS

International Evidence-based Guidelines (Monash) recommend managing psychosocial impact. Pharmacological therapy prevents new follicles but rarely eliminates established terminal ones.

Intervention: We act in synergy. While you control androgens, we eliminate the visible manifestation.
3

Absence of Melanin

Patients with white, red, or blonde hair do not respond to selective photothermolysis.

Intervention: Electrolysis acts by electrochemical destruction of the dermal papilla, independent of chromophores.

Technology & Safety (Apilus 27 MHz)

Forget the electrolysis of the past. Terry System utilizes Canadian Apilus xCell 27 MHz technology. This ultrafast radiofrequency (thousandths of a second) concentrates coagulation at the dermal papilla with minimal heat propagation to surrounding tissues.

  • Safety in Phototypes V-VI

    No risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation common in lasers (Nd:YAG/Alexandrite).

  • FDA Distinction

    We maintain rigorous terminology. Laser is classified as "Permanent Reduction"; Electrolysis as "Permanent Removal".

  • Hospital Hygiene

    Disposable single-use probes and sterilization of tweezers in autoclave.

Ethical Collaboration Protocol

We respect medical deontology. Our partnership involves no financial commissions, but rather the guarantee of clinical results for your patient.

Priority Lane for Patients

Patients referred by doctors have priority in scheduling evaluation consultations.

Progress Report

Upon request, we send a summary of treatment evolution (follicular density, dermal reaction) for the doctor's clinical file.

Complementarity

We do not diagnose or prescribe. We are executing technicians focused exclusively on follicle elimination.

We can send referral cards to your office or informational pamphlets for patients.
