Let's add fuel to that fire

I’m gonna go out on a limb with my assumptions again, please correct me if I’m wrong at any time!

I’ve seen a post from Michael about comparing his results of manual blend with his colleague who uses flash I believe, at the end of the treatments they were identical (all cleared in the same total time). I know flash is pretty much instant, but how long is the ‘‘zap’’ of that blend? I’d like to know a bit more about the experiment.

Would it be safe to assume that blend has a higher chance of killing hair follicles, however with a slower ‘‘zap’’ time than flash, which makes both methods equally as effective in the same amount of completion time?

Pushing this further however, let’s take for example an untreated area, a full clear with flash would take less time than blend, but the regrowth will be more dense. At that stage, since most of the time is spent on treating the hairs and not looking for them since they are so close together, would there not be a slight probability advantage of using a faster method (flash)?

On an already well-treated area, most regrowth hairs are sparse, so the effectiveness of flash decreases exponentially (even if tiny) since at that stage, a lot more time is spent looking for new hairs to treat (as opposed to an untreated area).

I’VE CRACKED THE CODE!

Multiply that small variable with an electrologist’s skill and the difference could become a bit more significant. There’s also other variables like preference, convenience, price, pain, etc, but that’s another story.

Michael uses 1-2 second treatment time in the follicle as I recall. In general the time difference between this and flash is not a lot and the 2 modalities will have differing kill rates, which makes them just about comparable with maybe a slight advantage to blend in effectiveness

Gonna play devil’s advocate here, but if for example Michael was (is?) as skilled in flash and blend, wouldn’t the added 1-2 second wait time of the latter be significantly more important than a slight advantage of blend in effectiveness? Especially in a very dense area where not much time is spent looking for a new hair to treat.

Again, not trying to reignite that ‘‘which method is best’’ debate as I find it pointless (don’t you like my post title lol), I’m just trying to understand the very specific details of it. In other words, I guess I’m strictly speaking about the effectiveness’ sake, ignoring maybe a few other important details.

If Michael was as skilled with flash as he is in blend, or more skilled, do you think that after 40 years he would work that way? In fact of him and Josepha, neither work that way, they both have many years experience and their methodology is identical.

modality wars, have been called off due to reality check. People work in the manner of which they have found to be the most efficient and effective for the client.
