Okay folks, here's the real deal.
an ebay posting for a Silhouet Tone Sequentium 328
Silhouet Tone Sequentium 328
Starting bid at $699, shipping at $99. That's already $800, a bit steep, you think. Well, if you want to get through large scale body clearing; arms, abs, chest, underarms, hips, crotch, legs, on a do it yourself basis, quickly, then this is your machine. The machine will easily pay for itself, and then some. I've used my Silhouet Tone machine for eighty sessions already. At sessions averaging $70 dollars, that's $5600 dollars worth of treatment I've done. And these larger areas take quite a few treatments to get through.
This machine is purely digital, and has programs built into it for different hair types, modalities, and sensitivity level. It does cataphoresis, anaphoresis, skin moisture, custom programming, auto-sense or pedal, session timer, session timer with true-time, lead galvanic or lead thermolysis, Flash, Flash with ramping galvanic, just all kinds of neat stuff. And the main point being that it makes it easy to get things done effectively for the beginner.
With electrolysis, the simplest tools are best used by the most skilled, learned practitioners, and the most automated digital, computer operated tools are what's best for the beginner. So once you get the hang of insertions, you can begin to permanently remove hair at a quick pace, not burn craters in your skin as with a more basic analog machine like an Instatron, Hinkle Classic, or analog Gentronics.
Anyway, this is one of those gems that makes itself available to the public every once in a while. With a machine like this, it's not even the price so much, but can you locate one at all. If I didn't already have a Silhouet Tone that I LOVE DEARLY, I would see no problem bidding up to $1,500 for this machine in a heartbeat. But bidding this high with a seller with no feedbacks would make Paypal a mandatory thing for insurance of refund. It's sturdy (I mean, really sturdy), reliable, has a great long-lasting blister button control panel, takes generic needle holders and hookups, and is easy to use. Don't be put off by the $99 dollars shipping because you do want it packaged very well for the trip.
Take a look, it's one of the best. In my opinion it's in the same class, give or take a few features, with the Silhouet Tone VMC, Silhouet Tone Servo-Blend Sequential Program, Apilus SM-500, SX-500, or Apilus Senior I&II, or Hinkle/Fischer UC-3.
