I’m having problems with it, I’m totally new to this, I tried it, I moistened my fingers and my skin, and I tried to stick it into one of my follicles, however, it’s very hard to do, the tip of the pen is very small, which is good, but I somehow can’t seem to get it in there! Everytime I try, it hurts a bit, like if I’m poking my skin, instead of sliding it into a follicle…
Am I doing something wrong?
Are you stretching the skin properly? Do you have instructions for the One Touch? Many of these devices are purchased and they end up in the junk drawer. Keep trying and I hope you are successful.
Yes, I read the instructions properly, as I bought the item in “new” condition, and I don’t think I stretched the skin, and I hope it doesn’t end up in the junk drawer, because I’m really looking forward to this.
Practice on your leg first!
The needle of this device is very large and clumsy for fine hairs on the face; I am finding it OK for the thicker hairs on my chin that I have been tweezing, but it makes a hole that scabs over with the finer hairs however careful I am to slide it into the hair follicle. Nor can I work out a way to treat the side of my face with it, I just can’t get the angle right.
What I have found helps with control over insertion is to remove the plastic end of the pen so I am using just the bare needle and not the trigger device. Of course the needles bend like mad whatever we do, & they are expensive.
I’m only doing this because I’m housebound; do get yourself to a salon if you possible can so that you can be treated without scarring.
You must be very careful if you are going to do this at home…done improperly the scars can last a very long time. I had a bad experience years ago and it left me with some nasty scarring.
Yes, and this is why we advise pro treatments, and if one is going to do it at home, get a pro machine, not some scammy home use junk, and get a partner to help you, as working on someone else is easier than working on oneself, and allows for better quality of work, even if both people are novices. The size of the one touch insertion tip alone is enough to cause scarring, as it is much larger than anything used by a professional, and far from helping to keep the home user safe, it allows them to burn large holes in their skin.
