Part II: Laurier

So, are you guys using these probes with synchro or what? How do you get the pulses in the entire depth of the follicle?

Im stunned :open_mouth:

These have always been the results of Electrolysis, boy1989. It’s a shame that the technique has not had the publicity it deserved.

Templje, this was done with Flash, but a slow thermolysis have the same results.
How do you get the pulses in the entire depth of the follicle?

Selecting the size of probe, and bare tip length suitable. No problem if you move the needle up and down when you use a slow thermolysis. While you’re coagulating this technique is safe, the cutting effect will occur if you are drying out and this is difficult with the thermolysis of a couple of seconds. Try to send a photo of your arm and all help you choose the proper size probe.

Miro, It is a matter of starting treatment with the maximum of hairs present. The strategy is WAIT, CLEAN, and WAIT.

Well, I think that the wall of my office has won color. This will help me explain the process. As someone wisely said, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Yes, folks, she is so beautiful, her image is pixelated to protect you from The Enchantment of Her Glamor.

Allso need a superb electrologist to archieve such results - my testpatch on virgin hair on chest cannot be compared to this result :open_mouth:

I take my hat off, GREAT WORK!

I’m the only one not surprised. Because the little patch on my sister’s arm treated by Josefa (with the Laurier probe) at the beginning of May is still clear. There are a few hairs in the patch but they were not treated. I suspect, the 3 prior Laser sessions helped.

Great skill with great tools = great work.

It is a pleasure for me to introduce to you all the new packaging of the Laurier Insulated Bulbous Probe.

With this new package Mr. Roy has managed to combine two important concepts, quality (unquestionable) and adaptability (to meet the requirements of the market).
The acquisition of these needles (totally unknown to me) was a real gift, and I do not mean in the literal sense (Mr. Roy was very generous to us all by providing a variety of sizes and lengths to try in all the different thicknesses of hair), I speak of another type of gift, one that helps me get less surface reaction in the skin of my clients and also allows me to be just as effective.

We all know that Electrolysis has undesirable side effects. If things are done well, these side effects are temporary.
With appropriate warnings, most of our clients tolerate these disadvantages so to end with the unwanted hair.
I bet all electrologists have ever dreamed reduce as far as possible the inevitable evidences of our work.
Well, apparently this was no longer a dream ever since Joseph Laurier designed the Insulated Bulbous Probe.

It’s a shame, I have taken 30 years to know. :cry:

I agree that it is a shame, that it has taken so long to discover this too. A truly great discovery,nonetheless.

And thanks for the new packaging. It is fun to work with these probes, and several of my clients (those who are aware…) enjoy these probes too.

Beate

Who knew but did not understand for more than two years.

A question for those who already have years of experience with these probes:

What criteria do you follow to choose the length of the tip?

Mike Roy, any suggestions?

Does it make sense that the choice depends on the stage at which they are most follicles? Except the man’s beard, I work mainly in telogen hairs, so I feel safer if I choose a short or medium tip.

The tip lengths were determined with respect to the diameter. The larger the Probe the longer the tip. These were determined over the years by my father. His general recomendation was to use the largest Probe feasable for the hair you are working with.

Some prefer a longer tip, some shorter, but the standard lengths we produce generally are proportioned correctly.

I have seen many pictures of different needle tips, but frankly, I had never seen a point so smoothly polished and rounded, as this finish.

“…His general recomendation was to use the largest Probe feasable for the hair you are working with.

Can you expand a little more this recommendation? Your father had to take many notes of the tests he made with egg whites.

These are my deductions: One size 002 is suitable for hair type “vellus”, like the one in the center of the upper lip in female, the majority of clients have this type of hair in a virgin area that has not been touched before. Therefore most of them are in telogen phase, so the length of the tip should be “short”. Now, suppose that the area has been waxed recently, so these fine hairs are in anagen phase, so the length should be, “medium or large”. Does this make sense?

Note: Another option would be to give two pulses at different depths.

His intent was to strech the tissue for contact.

If you will notice the tip lengths seem the same in both photos. The one on the top is a .005 and the lower photo is a .002

Hi Laurier (Mike).

Some folks work with 2 hands and stretching is going to be minimal.

When we are working with an insulated probe on a telogen hair, we have to work shallow. The speed has to be very fast so as not over-traumatize the skin.

Diameter is one criteria and length of entire probe is another and then length of insulated area is another.

Is all of the insulation on your probes the same length?

I love your probes and your devotion to meeting our needs.

Thank you so much.

[font:Comic Sans MS]Hi Josefa. I got your physical message from Dee. What were your instructions? Was it supposed to be a pico hug or a blend hug with a few pinches on the cheek? Actually, she is so adorable I requested some multiple probe hugs! Thank you and sorry we didn’t get to meet. xo
[/font]

Hi Arlene. In fact, the hug had to be strong enough to stop blood flow or papilla, heating your internal tissue to coagulate the matrix cells and reaching your BIG heart or bulge, freeing the surface of the skin of your cheeks to apply 3 loud kisses (as the French do).
What a fun trio had formed, Dee, you and me! Next time will be.

Arlene, the streching I speak of is in the follicle not the skin.

The tip lengths are made to a very specific dimension. The length of the tip is proportional to the diameter of the Probe. The larger the Probe the longer the exposed tip. The tips in the two photos appear to be the same size, but remember the bottom one is a .002 at a higher magnification so to the eye they appear the same length.

The tip lengths were determined by years of direct research by my father and adjusted by 40 years of industry feedback from professionals such as yourself.

I guess I should answer the first question I seem to be asked by everyone I’ve talked to.

No, the wholesale price remains unchanged. The only change is the package.

Mike

And the quality of the finish, Mike Roy, do not forget that this is the MOST important. I can guarantee that nothing has changed on this issue.

This is my favorite, 002 short.

God, what a perfect tip!
