One of My Favorite Electrolysis Text Books A steal at $55
Cosmetic & Medical Electrology by Meharg & Richards (it looks like it is the first edition, but as there is no picture, and the info given is sketchy, it could be the updated 2nd edition
Since I find so many more, and at better prices, on kijiji , I’ll have to put together a current list for there too. We’ve had a lot of new DIY’ers and starting electrologists of late, so timing is appropriate.
I didnt list all of them, and searching for "electrolysis " in quebec gets 0 result. That’s just the apilus, cause I searched on Apilus. Had I searched “Electrolyse” then results would have been better.I didnt list all the listings, after a while I was skipping over a boatlad of siltones, fischers and gentronics. You will see more apilus and sil-tomes in quebec though, because both companies have headquarters there.
My humble opinion is many have upgraded to the Apilus Platinum Pure or to the Apilus Xcell Pro and want to sell these older models with less features.
Sil-Tone introduced the new 5HD a couple years ago, so the same thing is probably happening - electrologists want to sell their backups or older version Sil-Tones to get the newer technology. Does that sound like a plausible explanation?
I can tell you that what I am seeing now for machines, is about the same as what I saw 2-3 years ago, no difference. Quebec is always like this, and I’ve commented on it before.
I had a lengthy conversation with a silhouette tone rep about the new evo 5 machine they have as i have a VMC and also realize what Dee is saying, they’ve taken them off the market. I drilled the rep about the new machine and I couldn’t get a good answer about why the 5 MHz was better. When the VMC came out it was all the rage for maximizing efficiency and comfort and now they are saying 5 MHz does the same? How can this be? She couldn’t explain it. I think it’s all just gibberish sales talk.
I own a VMC, but I don’t use it anymore, even though I loved that epilator for its functionality and comfort. I used the 5HD for a couple months and I liked the VMC much better, but over all, I am in extreme “love” with the epilator I use now, the XCell Pro, for many reasons, but I especially like their management program.
I liked certain features on the 5HD, like the touch screen. Physically, it is very cute and easy to use. I won’t go into the narrative that I shared with the Sil-Tone rep about things that I thought they could incorporate to bring it to what I would like personally.
God bless that VMC! It was on par with the Apilus SX 500. I’m sad that it has gone the way of the dinosaurs.
I noticed that Hinkel company stopped selling all of their epilators but last year their website AR-Fischer still had all models offered. It now makes sense because anywhere you turn in electrolysis world, Dectro epilators are dominating the market. I’m curious how many models does Sil-Tone sell annually when most if not all electrology schools in the U.S. promote Dectro epilators.
I would like to hear some comparisons between Apilus Platinum and Sil-Tone 5HD.
