I was working on my right hand and have had difficulty getting the hairs to release. These are hairs I have tweezed extensively over the years, almost obsessively. The hairs themselves appear to be 30 or 40 lye unit hairs at most. Insertions felt right on and were easy in this area.
I could not get them to consistently easily release, even using blend at 12% thermo 3 pulses and 0.38mA DC (preset 77 on my Apilus); it took anywhere from 40-80 seconds for each hair. After some experimenting, I left the thermo settings as they were and cranked the DC up high to 0.85ma. Then, they started to release reasonably consistently at 40-50sec but suspected this is still too much time, given they are only 40 unit hairs at most (the UL calculator on my Apilus says those settings are suitable for 85 unit hairs!)
My question is, could it be the follicles are badly distorted from plucking and this is why they hairs will not release easily? If it is because the follicles are distorted, what is the best strategy to use to treat them? More HF and/or more DC? Or low settings (eg. 10% HF 2 pulses and .30ma?) and just use as much time needed at those settings?
