I perform PicoFlash thermolysis everyday of the week. That adds up to thousands and thousands of hairs that are treated with thermolysis. Thermolysis simply and magnifigantly WORKS or I wouldn't have a business that keeps me hopping every week year after year. What you are reading is old, stale white bread stuff and what James said is all true as well. Thermolysis is harder to do, especially if you can't see the follicle opening very well. Electrolysis books need to be updated.

Thanks for your confirmation Alicia for the effectiveness of thermolysis working and thank God for hairtell so we can clean up such crazy misinformation.

Effectiveness mostly depends on how good the insertions are. If you find someone who's good at thermolysis, there is no reason for it to be less effective. The only issue sometimes can be on the hairs that are very deep or curly where blend may be needed. But for the majority of the hairs, thermolysis is great. I've had most of my hair removed with microflash thermolysis. I only needed blend for one small area with deeper curlier hairs.

hi sorry for the late reply. hair tell wasn't working for me, for reason for me.

i've had 2 sessions this week which is about an 45mins now and i'm about 3/4 cleared. there was more hair than i thought as there are some really fine hairs that can only be seen up close up but might as well get them think they are new hairs cause they arnt very long and are fine she says.

got a few dark hairs on my shoulders so gonna get them when my back is cleared. doubt that will take long.

think i'm getting addicted, doesnt seem like a proper day unless i get zapped!!!

thanks for all the help.

It is easy to get addicted to electrolysis as long as it is being performed with skill and good equipment. It actually goes pretty fast. When a client comes for one area only, ninety percent of the time, they request that another area be started. It is very common for me to work on 3-5 areas at one time because clearance comes pretty fast for most facial areas and some body areas. That's what one can do with quality tools today using MicroFlash or PicoFlash thermolysis. Using the more modern forms of electrolysis and better probes, first, full clearances come pretty fast for most clients. It is a happy, hopeful day when I have to say those beautiful words to my client, "I don't need to see you now except for every 3-4 weeks."

Go hard at first and then follow those new hair growth cycles as they emerge. You will be so vey happy you did.

hi,

i've had nearly 3 hours of treatment now, and already i seem to be getting more new hair coming through is this normal?

i have be searching the net and i found a place that has a Apilus Senior II machine. i takes me about an hour to get there in the car but i'm thinking that it will be alot quicker than the machine i'm using at the moment. so i emailed them so i should get a reply on monday as they are shut sundays. but if i can book in for long sessions is this the best idea to change to this machine, as its computerised?

it takes me nearly 30mins to get to my clinic at the moment and she only does short sessions, so travelling and hour to get an hour on a computerised machine should be better right?

thanks

You are experiencing normal hair growth cycles. If you can find an electrologist that offers decent speed, using MicroFlash thermolysis, then it may be well worth your effort to travel farther.

What is the downside of sampling another electrologist??? Absolutely nothing! Try this just once and see if there is any difference. When you meet her, let her know that you want longer sessions. She will know what is possible after she works on you and acesses your situation.

hi,

i've been going to my usual electrologist, because i couldnt get an appointment to a new place till monday but i'm nearly completely cleared on my back with the dark longer hairs. there are a few new patches coming in but about 30 hairs at the most.

anyways i still have a bit of dark hair on my shoulders so therefore i have an hour session on monday with a new clinic and they have a Apilus Senior II. so i'm sure from what i have read that they should easily clear the area in an hour, maybe less as they isn't a massive amount there, less than 300 hairs easy. and 1 shoulder is alot worse than the other.

i just have a few questions about about microflash and picoflash.
how long does the probe stay in the follicle for? which is faster and most effective of the two?
and are there any questions i should ask at my consultation?

thanks

Both are fast, far less than a second per follicle.

Just express your concerns and goals and observe that hygienic measures are being taken, hair is not being tweezed, insertions are not being felt, though some insertions may be felt as no one is perfect. If you think you have about three hundred hairs, those should be easily handled in an hours time or something is wrong. You will not be getting PicoFlash thermolysis with an Apilus Senior II. It will be MicroFlash, which is still awesome. She may choose another modality if she is not a MicroFlasher. I hope she will do MicroFlash thermolysis for you, but it's her call. You will still get permanent hair removal.

Good luck and check back in!

less than a second!!!
that is very fast! when i had my first ever session with blend she was using 3 second per hair!!

i'm crossing my fingers for microflash then.
they advertise doing legs on there website so unless you do microflash, i'm guessing they will be there for years.

i'll let you know how it goes on monday.

thanks

i've been today for my consultation and a 15min tester session.

when i asked what she used she said dio-something (i forgot), she says its the fastest and most effective. i dont think i felt 1 hair being tugged at all, so must be effective, it was alot faster aswell, but i am alot redder than normal, does this normally happen?

and also she said its not a good idea to have a massive long session on 1 area because of the energy and heat being used, so she said would do about 40mins in 1 bit then 20 in another, and then start from that 20mins the next time.
i dno if this is good or not?
