I am looking for anyone with experience using a Sequentium 328 by Silhouet Tone on coarse chin hairs. I have searched around HairTell for threads on the subject, but haven’t come across specifics for succssful treatment.
I’ve been getting thermolysis treatments for these hairs and the kill rate is quite low, so I’m hoping that someone may have specifics on settings and treatment technique that I can discuss with my electrologist.
That thread started a year ago, so I wanted to make a more specific appeal.
Right now, besides the low kill rate, the hairs are not sliding out without tugging which I have been told is not good.
I discussed that issue with her and she doesn’t have any methods to improve it, so I am hoping I can find help here. She is the only electrologist in my little town, so I need to find out what my best options are.
I don’t think anyone can give you number values/levels for your situation. When we electrologists start a treatment session, no two treatment levels may be the same every subsequent session in the future. We may have to go up? or go down? Just tonight, I was removing hair from a woman’s abdomen and I had to go up three levels and add more timing from the last session to get the hairs to release well. Next month, I may have to do something different. This is why we repeatedly say that SKILL and instinct are more important. Her epilator will work. I don’t know what her insertions are like. I don’t know if the kind of probe she is using. We can’t see your hair structures. It Is not easy to answer your pleas for help. We would like to, but there is no way to give you a perfect blueprint, so you can go back and teach your electrologist what to do.
Your role is to give her feedback, as you already have done, that you’re feeling plucking and you know that is the wrong thing to feel for many hairs. When you feel traction, does she go back in the empty follicle and deliver another burst of energy? Can she do blend?
She does give another burst when it won’t slide out, but even with two it often is really a hard tug to come out. She will try blend soon and I’ll let you know how it goes. I sincerely thank you for taking the time to explain these things, because it eases my mind a lot just to have the professional input. Honestly, I think the woman who is my electrologist is very nice and wants to do well, but whenever I have asked her to give me descriptions of what she is doing or any information on the technical aspects she has nothing to say, she usually brushes past what I’m talking about. Over a year ago I printed info off the hairzapper.com website and sat down with her to discuss our options and it was the same thing. She has had her shop for quite a while, maybe a decade even, but I’m just not sure that she is that technically competent. I don’t like saying that, but I have have gotten more technically informative explanations on posts here that give me confidence immediately that yourself and the others who have commented are obviously competent and highly involved in learning more all the time. Anyway, I will continue to experiment with her until we can find a treatment that gives a smooth ‘no or low tug’ of the hairs. Thanks again.
