The Fischer Pro-Therm will do a timing of one tenth of a second easily. What you would have a problem finding is the one tenth of a unit intensity setting. It is a stereo knob machine. It is workable, just not something you can do exact measurements and duplicate them with total certainty.
A serious Newbie would buy a blend machine, because that would allow one to use any of the 3 types of electrolysis as they become accustomed to how to work them. If one knows how to work the settings on a Blend machine, one can choose galvanic only, thermolysis only, or do a regular blend treatment, or even a blend treatment that is heavy on the galvanic, or heavy on the thermolysis.
The reason I say start with Galvanic is that it is least likely to result in scarring for the uneducated. Thermolysis is the most likely to scar if you don’t know what you are doing. A first time thermolysis user who ramps up the setting is going to blow a hole in their skin, and possibly get the probe/needle stuck in their flesh!
Although a One Touch is cheap, the probes and probe holder, how we say…SUCK! Most people only use them once or twice before they banish them to the junk drawer.
At least if one buys a used pro machine, most newer models have a built in automatic insertion delay, and one can resell it if one abandons the notion of home electrolysis. It would be unethical to resell a one touch, due to the inability to sterilize the business ends of the machine.
This is a machine I am listing for my ex-girlfriend that went to school to become a liscensed Electrologist and then decided that she wanted to do something different. I am moving and discovered it packed away in my basement.
Feel free to email me any questions and I’ll do my best to answer.
I will donate a portion of my auction to Hairtell.com.
I don’t mean to spark a bidding war, but since this version of the book is currently unavailable, and not on the horizon again any time soon, if you have been thinking about doing this, you had better try to get this one while it is up for bids.
From what I know, the new and disimproved version is not yet available anyway, so if you find a Bono Book right now, it will be this one.
The difference is much of the nit picky details have been taken out to shorten the book. The person in that ebay auction had the book cut in half, and basically, the new version is part one, without part two. No talk about positioning, less “overdiscussing” the whys and wherefores. You know, taking away the stuff that made it the number one book above the others, so that it will only be just as good as the others. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I am told that the book’s sales were never as brisk as expected, and this change was made in place of simply letting the book go out of print. I was not told how many book sales would justify keeping the book as it is, so I can’t comment on the chances a HairTell Special Edition Pressing would be the solution.
I found one machine (the above link) on ebay that seems to me (a complete know it not) by the description a machine that works. Im thinking I want to find some machine for myself but after reading some of the comments listed here Im not so sure about puchasing anything without consulting the experts here first :-). Also, I saw on a TV show (think it was queer eye for the straight guy), where they had some tiny laser removal gun to remove the hair from the back of the neck of the guy they were “fixing”. It took like a square inch each time and looked fast (tv I know). Is this just a scam as well and if not, is it possible to buy something like that on ebay?
