so i got me sterex blend machine about 2 weeks ago and i think its one of the best purchases i’ve ever made!
but i’ve got a few questions for the electrolysis-wizzes…
I’ve read quite a few times that ‘Thermolysis is not as effective as blend’ but what does this mean exactly…?? how is it less effective? is hair likely to come back more with thermolysis?
i know it’s alot faster than galvanic & blend so i prefer using this method - but is there any reason i should stick to blend??
also does thermolysis ‘damage’ the skin? i read in a thread somebody noticed it weakened the skin elasticy, i was thinking of using thermolysis method on my legs…so would that be okay or should i use blend? - i mean thermo saves alot of time(!) btw i get scabs slightly if i use thermo, but its okay because they get healed, right?
after treating hairs, i’ve noticed that most times they come out without any resistance complete with the bulb thing on the end (which is a good thing! ), but i’ve noticed two things:
- Sometimes when a hair comes out it has a white bulb at the end of it(!) (my hair is dark), does this mean i’ve just treated a dead hair & that it will have to be treated again later??
- I’ve also noticed that if i squeeze a pore sometimes after a perfect kill(with the black bulb still attached) more black stuff oozes out! just a tiny bit, but why is this & need i squeeze it out? i mean its likely to stay in the pore forever isn’t it if i don’t??
the sterex manual says ‘‘always keep the thermo in the lowest range’’ , no more than 4(which isn’t very high) when blending…, but it doesn’t make a difference to me unless i have it set on at least 12-20, then it feels like its blending well with the dc(which i have set on about 40-50), but is it safe to have the thermo set so high?? because at 4 it just feels like galvinic treatments(i have to treat hair for at least 50 seconds, whilst on 12-20 i only need 15 seconds), i don’t see why it suggest i have to keep the thermo low…
i know i might as well just do thermolysis if i’m already keeping the temp so high while blending, but i think blending is safer as it doesn’t scab as much…
i hope my questions make sense…
