A One Touch is good for practice, but it would be annoying and slow to do an entire leg. I bought a pro machine and have spent many many many hours on it, and I still haven’t even cleared one arm yet. A One Touch is even slower. I would suggest a pro machine for that much work unless you are very very patient. If you don’t have the patience for it, then professional electrolysis will go faster (but cost more). Or if you’re a candidate, then laser is an option.
Hi everyone, i’m thinking of buying one touch online, can someone tell me what is the best way, cause i’m not familiar with online shopping (i’ve never bought anything that way,in my country online shopping is not that popular )…Or if some of you can give me a link where you found yours, so i can be sure that it’s the real thing…i know i probably sound funny, but i would really like to get one, and try for myself…
I want to kill hairs between my breasts and on my belly, and since i’m paying for professional electrolysis of my face, i can’t afford treatments for any other area and i don’t want to wait for year or so to get to the other areas after i’m done with face… Thanks a lot 
There are many websites to buy One Touch. I think you will find a good deal on Ebay or Amazon.com. I got mine on Ebay for something like $9. Very inexpensive.
Thanks a lot! I found this one http://global.ebay.com/ONE_TOUCH_HOME_ELECTROLYSIS_Removes_Hair_Forever_Look/110565426639/item, and my last stupid question is - is this the real thing, i noticed that this one has ‘‘BABYLISS’’ in its name, is that of any meaning? I think there is one that is Deluxe, and then there are others that don’t look like this one, are those different types or something? Thanks again for your patience
Yeah it’s fine. It appears to be galvanic and uses a probe instead of electric tweezers, so it should work. There are actually a handful of machines that are all One Touch clones (right down to the colors) made by a couple companies depending on what year it is. The photo in this listing is identical to the machine I have except mine has no babyliss logo.
As we often say at HairTell, if the device does not use a needle, it does not work. Tweezer devices have been around for 50 years or so and they have never been proven to work. The One Touch uses a needle (as ungainly as it is) and therefore could produce permanent hair removal.
As someone who has done some of their own hair removal, I can tell you removing large amounts of body hair can be an incredible time investment (my current hour count is in my signature.) Make sure you are willing to put the time in before you start, and I would recommend seeing a professional electrologist for a consultation first; you might be surprised how affordable it can be with a highly skilled and well equipped practitioner.
ok so i finally got a one touch, and is it me or is it supposed to sting when you slide in the needle thing? and how far do i slide it in as i tried doing 2 hairs and i think i burnt myself as i didint stick it in far enough, (as it hurt) so what am i diong wrongg 
This is the problem with doing electrolysis yourself with a flimsy piece of plastic. The metal wire thingy that you slide into the follicle needs to get to the bottom of the follicle. How far down is the bottom of the follicle? It depends on how deep the hair is. Growing thick hairs are usually deeper than non-growing thick hairs and thin growing hairs do not have to be deep at all.You are trying to hit a target you can not see and that adds to the difficulty of doing this correctly. Now, you can tweeze a hair out in the area that has a nice moist root and measure from where you grasped the hair at skin’s level and see how far below the skin’s surface it went. That hair can be your guide for inserting for all the hairs in the area.
Electrolysis is very difficult to master for most. Doing it yourself is a brave thing to do because yo take the chance of scarring yourself. I hope you are not working on your face.
Definitely avoid the face with the OneTouch. It’s way too imprecise. You do need to make sure you insert deeply enough, and I had to bend my needle at a 90 degree angle and insert sideways in order to insert all the way without the spring mechanism making the needle retract into the stylus.
As I said, it’s a real pain, this isn’t an easy fix by any means. I doubt you are scarred, you would have had to leave the needle in for quite a long time while ignoring the pain.
