Hair Removal Methods Do-It-Yourself Electrolysis
#21

Sometimes I get tired of refuting websites, so I don’t put the energy forth to do so, Michael. We have had these discussions before about hairzappers. I have no doubts that Susan Laird is an excellent electrologist, but I don’t agree with her comments about thermolysis. I would have ignored this discussion this time, but Michael, you have given me a boost. Here is an example of what many if us thermolysis practitioners churn out using thermolysis:

These are the end pictures of a woman who presented with a large number of very coarse red hair on her chin, neck and upper lip on 1/9/13. (I can’t find her before pictures right now, but I will look for them. I actually lost 180 pictures on my computer a while back, made me sick. I hope hers was not in that batch)

So far, she has had 14 full clearances, 10,861 insertions in 19 hours and 52 minutes, ALL DONE WITH THERMOLYSIS, specifically, Synchro and PicoFlash. If I used my Silhouet-Tone VMC or my Digital Gentronics or an Instantron Elite Spectrum, this still would have been the outcome with thermolysis, as well.

It is month 10 now and she is 90% finished. If you look carefully, you will see a few remaining hairs.

This lady had a beard. She was in tears in January. A laser specialist referred her to me because of her hair color and now she is almost a free from hair, a very happy woman. Thermolysis did this. She will be finished within that 9-18 month window we always talk about. The end game is always predictable.

Gorgeous work Dee Dee. YES, we need to show results of excellent treatment all the time, over and over!

Funny thing, the “instant” thermolysis was invented in 1923, the arguments against its use went forth (by multiple users). The basic arguments have not CHANGED! Nearly 100 years and the same old worn-out stories. (Besides, the thermolysis you are using is brilliant … not your grandmother’s “spark gap” zapper!)

Here’s the point. If we actually had 100 years of HORRIBLE treatment (scars and blood oozing) from thermolysis, would this modality still be in use today?

The various drawings presented by the Hairzap thing (or whatever it’s called), was talking about bad treatments. For example, her “overlapping” explanation and drawing was excellent … but, this “overlap” problem could also be done with pure DC-galvanic too.

It’s not about the methodology, it’s about knowing how to remove hair!

Damn it already!

OOOOOPS, my toupee just flew off and stuck to the ceiling! I hate it when that happens! Ha ha ha

Michel, look here for a response: http://www.hairtell.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/109802/Resource_List_Chit_Chat.html#Post109802

I’m just trying to keep the discussion to a minimum here, and the links plentiful

Well as of this month, it has been 2 years since this thread was updated by me. Unfortunately it never made it to “sticky” status . However I still think it a valuable thing to have. In that time however, as often happens in hairtell and all over the internet too, things change. Many of the original links in this thread are now dead links. Some have relocated to other places, some are now gone forever, and if the information isnt held on this site in it’s entirety then we have zero control over it. I’m communicating with the board’s owner about possibly having this thread brought up to date and cleaned up, but I dont know yet if that will be possible.So…watch this space, and shortly when I have a little bit more time, and the ability to do so, I’ll be making some changes to the content . Hopefully it will regain it’s original purpose.

One of my favourite resources!

The blog at follikill.com contains a number of articles on electrolysis, times of treatment, learning resources , skin reactions , an a number of other topics. If you take the time to go back through the various links on the right for month/year you will find a number of valuable contributions to electrolysis education . Rea who writes and maintains the blog, is one of the people I depend on for accurate and professional information, and in my opinion is one of ths countries top electrologists. I’m proud to include her blog in this list. It can be found here:

You may even find a comment or two by yours truly!

I’d like to mention, that if you are posting links to this thread, we need to have more information that just the link itself, and this is especially true of youtube threads. Often a resource will disappear at some point, and I’ve taken on the task of maintaining the thread as to accuracy . So if possible, for example with a youtube link please tell us:

The link
The title on the video
A general description of what the content is.

Often web sites move content around or make changes. If a link goes dead we have to have something to go on to determine if it’s gone forever, has been moved somewhere else, etc. If all we have is a link that doesnt exist anymore, we dont have any alternative but to just remove the post because it doesnt exist anymore. If we have this information it gives me something to go by to search upon to determine if it’s been moved somewhere else.Thank you!

Did you create this forum board on the link Seana ?

#31

Quite some time ago last fall I think. I’ve used it on occasion to post stuff when hairtell was having technical issues, or to maintain things that periodically have to be edited ( such as links that may change or need to be updated).I dont run the media company that hosts it, nor the software it runs on, but I manage the electrolysisinfo forum . I’ve never believed in keeping all of ones eggs, in the same basket.

Credit for this link goes to my partner nightfrost who came upon it. Lots of good reading and explanations in here.

On page 2 of this thread I reference a link to the ontario ministry of health for infection control standards in personal service settings located here:
http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/publichealth/oph_standards/docs/pssp_2008.pdf

This link is no longer available.The document is heavily referenced throughout the province in regional health departments and used actively by municipal departments of health to guideline health inspections for electrologists.

The link has only recently become invalid.I did find a mirrored copy of this resource located here:

I also have saved a copy I can forward to anyone if need arises.

or I have a copy. This document contains critical information that is relevant to all electrologists in ontario in regards to health inspections, autoclave testing, sterile instrument (probe) sourcing ( and logging) and disinfectant proceedures and methods. It is exactly this document that local health authorities in ontario guideline by to perform health inspections and post them online.

The document is also highly referenced in this article:

http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/publichealth/oph_standards/docs/infection_prevention_personal_services.pdf

I do not know why the original guidelines document is not available, it is possible it is currently being updated.
