can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong. I am finding the hairs that I am removing are releasing without a bulb they look like they are broken. I think my insertions are not accurate but would I be going in to deep or to shallow when the hair breaks like that.
Also can anyone please give me hints in regards to depth of insertion.
Thanks
Suds,
May I ask if you are a new electrologist or a student?
Yes i am only been doing it for a few years part-time , but what has happened is I have been using probes that are alot shorter in length than insulated and now I am having trouble feeling the depth with the insulated probes
Keep practicing. You don’t have to practice on the days you don’t eat. Make sure your insertions are accurate and your intensity and timing is correct. The hair should not break if those things are correctly balanced.
I talked to Jean-Louis today and he said it would be more than okay for you to call him or Joanne anytime for any questions. It is their job and their pleasure to explain things to you about the products they sell to you. You can reach them in California, toll-free at : 1-888-332-8763.
Suds, the problem may be that the treated hair, is a telogen hair? the root of these hairs is similar to the root of anagen hair cut by an excess of high frequency current.
Suds, this video may give you a clue to help you differentiate the depth of the follicle, depending on the time of the cycle.
Look closely when the hair reaches the telogen phase, this is less pigmented at the base. Is the outward sign that allows the electrologist to recognize when the hair is in anagen or telogen.
So your sensitivity with the needle is not as important as you think.
hi depil… very good video are you using apilus in this, i’m due to get a unit in the next week or so very exciting. Have been using gentronics single and multi-probe.

Hi mhawkes!
It is a real pleasure to have a Scotch colleague with us. I am glad that the family grows. Welcome.
You will enjoy very much your Apilus, this machine does not stop surprising me (3 years later!).
Oh! my name is Josefa!
Hi Josefa
Thankyou for the warm welcome
So glad to have joined this forum, so much knowledge and experience. I was put on to this forum by christine O’Connel in Sydney we worked together for a number of years. I have just recently returned to my home town in Scotland. Very daunting having to start from scratch. However this website keeps the enthusium levels high.

Dear Joana,
Your video is blocked because it contains material by a large music company (the backgroud music?)
Beate
Oh yes Beate, it is Sinnerman by Nina Simone, how not to love Nina?
One of my favorite songs is “Ne me quitte pas”, Nina makes an extraordinary version, but include this song as sound of bottom in the video it would have been slightly lucky, bearing in mind that many persons want to get rid of the hair.
Mairi, You do not begin from zero, you count with many years of experience in this field, so the Scotch citizens are very lucky. I hope that someone of your clients wants to confirm my words soon.
Regards to Christine when you speak to her.
