While you are waiting. some things you might want to purchase:
Some sterile insulated probes likely f3 AND F4 sized.
Some good accurate tweezers. I personally lie th epeer vigour 3c but some have luc with tweezerman style.

alot of people will be steering clear of prestige after having problems with previous orders.
Look on ebay or amazon for optics.
I’m selling this for Skip https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Instantron-Elite-Spectrum-K-Professional-Electrolysis-Machine/183835500933?hash=item2acd732185:g:eqIAAOSwBRBc9f1J
Hi,
I will definitely follow your advice and buy the tweezers:

However… I am ost in the probes page:
https://www.texaselectrolysissupply.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=43_200
You suggest I buy insulated probes (f3 AND F4 sized).
But this page is full of them! Do I want regular shank or short shank…?
Plus, why F3 and F4 if I may ask?
Merc.
Regular shank should be fine.

Those two links should get you there.
Normally you match the probe size approximately to the hair size. F3 and F4 are the 2 most common sizes especially for someone who’s learning. You’ll find smaller probes, but they will run hotter than these 2 sizes due to their smaller surface area, and give less even heat distribution. I almost never for example use a f1 and f2 and f5 are bit big in most typical female follicles and f6 aren’t available in the type i use.I tried to point you to the 2 size that are most likely to be correct and give you the ability to address the greater range of hair sizes. F3 willl work awesome for upper lips and many leg and arm, back shoulder hairs, the f4 are for the courser darker deeper hairs. A couple boxes of each, should have you going for a good while.
In professional environments it’s unacceptable to re-use needles either with another client or in another session with the same client. As a DIY’er you wont be ordering probes all that often, but you should still maintain proper sterility of implements. So be sure to have enough because ordering all the way to Austrailia from the US is going to make shipping a tad pricey 
Short Shank probes are good for very shallow insertions ( think upper lips, fingers and toes) regular shank will give you the most flexibility.
DEFINITELY use insulated probes. Sterex are on the less expensive side, ballet are a bit better but much more expensive.
Essentially, I recommended to you the basic DIY toolkit I kind of uderstand this because I did DIY for a LONG time before turning professional so I know what works.
also dont forget to pic up a copy of this at the same time :

Other supplies you may want to pic up locally:
witch hazel and alcohol
Cotton Round pads
Tea tree oil
Aloe Vera ( be picky! Get as pure with no added thickeners as possible, I recommend “Lily of the Desert” brand available from Healthy Planet.
Seana
Ugh… they don’t ship to Australia.
I emailed them to see if I can put the order through manually.
Otherwise, I will either have to order them from an overprices Australian shop (which will sell it for 3x as much) or set up a forward address with Australia Post…
One lighter note: you mention I should buy Aloe Vera cream “as pure as possible” and that it’s a “bit pricey”.
Well… it grows kind of everywhere around here eheheheheh 
I would call the direct phone number and as to speak with Jennifer in sales. This woman is fantastic. They DO ship to other countries so I dont see why it would be any different for Austrailia. I order here in Canada all the time and they just send it out by US post.I’m certain Jennifer will fulfill your order!
