I’m thinking of getting a secondary device, & wanted to know if anyone has made them in this frequency besides Apilus
No. Apilus are the only ones.
I’m curious why so many questions about apilus products? Are you having consistent problems with yours?
There were numerous machines made with 27 megahertz including Hinkel, Proteus and several smaller companies. Today, to my knowledge, only Dectro makes such a machine.
In one of your posts you mentioned (I think art hinkel) that a very low frequency I think 3.5~ MHz was ideal?
I was wondering why that didn’t come to pass in the mainstream & also why the other 27mhz machines were retired for the industry to settle on 13.56?
Now THAT is a very long story indeed. Bottom line is … it doesn’t matter.
I did a lecture last year on this subject: Nazi submarines, German spies and the “Battle of the Atlantic!” Great story … an hour to explain (and from first-hand witnesses and newspaper documents.) Teaser: an epilator is an HF transmitter.
I recall you posting on that, how Nazi infiltrators on the eastern seaboard used an epilator to communicate secrets—if I recall (from general history) one of the sailors chickened out & ratted on the operation & was spared the electric chair while the others were?
I am quite curious regardless of the change in effectiveness on the frequency aspect of the history of epilators—is there a short bite size version? Thanks, as this piqueijg my curiosity
There is NO difference in efficacy between 13.56 and 27.12 MHz, in fact, I am not aware of anyone or any company making such a claim.
The Silouette Tone Evolution 5 used a 5 mhz frequency, and I think tey maybe used 8mhz range on their previous epilator. I dont recall them being a great marketing success but I’m not really an insider on this by any stretch. I am not aware of that frequency being touted as better in any way either.
“From the mid-1990s until 2005, Dectro is involved in a bold research and development program whose aim is to offer a device that uses the 27 MHz ISM frequency. The goal is reached with the successful launch of the Apilus Platinum, in 2005. Never has an electrolysis treatment been so quick and painless. That is because the 27 MHz frequency doubles the coagulation rate of the tissues compared to the 13.56 MHz epilators, and a fivefold increase in comparison with devices operating at 5 or 6 MHz. Such quick polarity exchanges make extremely short application times possible. Additionally, research shows that at 27 MHz, the destruction zone is concentrated closer to the probe, where the germ cells are located, which curtails irritation and discomfort. Finally, because the water molecules present in the hair follicle are able to absorb heat more readily, a lower power output can be used. In other words, given an equal amount of power, the 27 MHz signal needs to be applied for a shorter time, and acts on a more focused area. In short, permanent hair removal can now be done in great comfort!”
The above is what Dectro has to say:
I hadn’t come across these before
