electrolysis
Electrical chemical splitting
Electrolysis is a chemical process that uses electric current to drive a reaction that wouldn't occur spontaneously.
It splits compounds into their elements—water into hydrogen and oxygen, for instance.
The term also refers to a method of permanent hair removal, where electric current destroys hair follicles one by one: She's getting electrolysis on her upper lip.
