I was reading the instructions of one touch, and it says not to use it on more than 1 square inch of hair in one time... now can you use it on a different area of your body?

Certainly. Just don't apply too much electricity to a small area of your body at once. Your system can take it better if you move around to different areas.

This is my first posting here. I recently bought One Touch and I immediately gave up. I'm soooo wuss... but how can you stand it?! Even just inserting the needle without the electricity hurts!! And, how do you know how far to insert?

I am not sure if I know how to really use this one touch thing. Do you others use salt water (actually mixing it) if so how much. and when you dip your fingers in the water you hold the style tip with the same hand correct. Maybe i wasn't reading the directions right. OH does anyone else's beep right when you insert the tip in the hair. and can someone distinguish the difference between regrowth and new growth? Sorry very new at this, but trying to learn.

Hi wasabi-- sorry you gave up (I did too).

The best way to determine depth is to grab a hair with your tweezers right at the skin's surface and pluck it. Then hold the electrolysis probe next to the plucked hair's root. You should stick the probe in to the depth where the tweezers hold the hair. After a while you get a feel for where the bottom of the follicle is.

The whole thing is a real hassle, which is why I say in every post that I don't recommend it unless you've got a real desire to commit to home electro. It's often faster, safer and easier to go to a pro.

ac1126, keep your fingers off the metal band until the probe is inserted.

The salt water should be pretty salty. You only need a small amount-- a fourth of a cup or so.

The slat water and ther metal band on he stylet complete the circuit, so if you keep your moistened finger off until the probe is in place, the beeping should occur according to instructions.

It's a real pain though. Some have figured it out after some practice, but I found it to be a huge waste of time.

I have another question, are there any recommendations on how to pick a pro electrolysist. I am interested in finding one but dont' know what to look for. Any suggestions. thanks once again.

ac1126, check out the following:

Hairfacts: choosing an electrologist

hello, i got my one touch but it doesnt beep when i insert it into a folicle, am i doing something wrong? im following the instructions properly. i got the older version of one touch with no tweezers included, so im not sure if it is even supposed to beep.

also one touch have come up with a tweezer machine that uses radio frequency. so can they really be trusted? shouldnt they know that radio frequency doesnt work?

this is the link for the one touch tweezer:
