So very cool! Folks had told me it was hard to get a hold of a good electrolysis machine. Like, there was a racket limiting availability to professionals. Seeing that you have one is an inspiration! I had been planning to have to build my own.
Are you happy with it so far? How long have you had it? Have there been any scaring problems? Are the probes and gel easily sourced? Have you ever traded work for work with another electrologist? Occasionally I see folks seeking such arrangements where I live. Do you mind lots of questions?
Also, you seem very knowledgeable about hair removal so you’re probably aware, but some folks use a dual mirror setup for hard to see places, which might make the neck area easier.
yeah it was a bit hard to find one that did direct sale to consumers. its not the strongest machine though so it takes a bit longer per hair. im pretty happy with it yeah haha. just the fact i can do anything has been amazing. i used to have a ring of hair around my nipples and now its almost completely gone. still a few stragglers coming in sometimes but less all the time.
ive had it around a year i think, but took a long break when i went to a professional.
no scarring problems at all, i just get some swelling and redness, which is honestly normal for me since i have eds.
i just skip the gel and have been reusing my probes. with galvanic theyre self sterilizing so havent had any issues with infection or anything.
never done any work swapping. ive been a bit nervous about working on someone else because i wouldnt have the sensory feedback i have working on myself and thats the only way ive ever done it. id probably try it on my friends though if they wanted.
ive tried a dual mirror setup but it was like impossible to do anything lol. its like riding a bike with backwards steering, my brain says do this but my hand does the opposite. im sure in time i could figure it out but ive had enough to work on that i havent needed to put in the effort.
