Apilus electrolysis machines

[MaisyMouse]

Does anybody have any experience with the APILUS electrolysis machine? At the moment I use the sterex sx-b but am looking at the apilus and am wondering if anyone can give me any feedback on them?

Thankyou

Aha! I have experience of being on the receiving end of an Apilus electrolysis machine, and I must say it is by far the most pain-free electrolysis experience that I have ever had.

I had a fair bit of electro done back in 2000; I started out having a mixture of galvanic and diathermy done, but with standard machines; the galvanic was fairly tolerable, but the diathermy on my top lip area could be quite excruciating!

Whereas with the Apilus machine, which was set to the pulse mode where it delivers the diathermy at high power but over a fraction of a second, the pulse was over almost too quickly for any pain to be registered.

So in terms of client comfort, I'd say that the Apilus is hard to beat!

Thanks Ruth. I have had some electrolysis with the apilus machine too and found it far more comfortable. I was just wondering if anybody else had tried it or had the machine, before I buy one of their machines as they are quite expensive. But hopefully I will attract new clients with it being more comfortable.

My fave treatment is E and currently use Sterex SXB (I think ElainE Stoddard is best trainer EVER) but i have never heard of epilus system ever, so would be greatful for any links etc....

Hi I have often thought of doing electrolysis again and if I did this is the machine I would go for. My only concern is if there would be enough clientele as their entry machine is double the price of Sterex. This is the machine for serious operators and I have come close to buying it several times. I would definately go for it if you already have the business.

I too use the SXB machine but I dont find it very good for the blend, and it hurts!! The apilus is an canadian system distributed by hof.

Yes it is very expensive but I am lucky I have a good business with a lot of electrolysis clients.

Have you used the apilus machine yourself to do electrolysis??

Wow, if you've already got a lot of electro clients and you switch to the Apilus, they will probably all be amazed by the difference in comfort - so it may pay for itself in terms of extra business from existing clients, plus new clients when your existing clients recommend you to their friends...

Says me who has only ever had electrolysis done on me, the difference really was that dramatic!

This is what I found on a form especially dedicated to hair removal. I think this was in reply to a someone that dared to confront the teacher training her.

I understand your confusion, but I also understand the territorial nature of this profession when it comes to epilator choice. It's "pack mentality" at it's best and most are not in the position to own all the epilators that manufacturers put before us to truly know what they are comparing.

The Apillus Platinum and Pure are top notch epilators for sensation, follicle destruction, skin reaction and time to completion. I own and have used a digital Gentronics with the air option and the Silhouet-Tone VMC and now I use the Platinum. All I can say is my job of removing hair permanently has become increasing better each time I moved up the ladder. If some genius engineer invents something better than the Platinum, I'll buy it, as I have no allegience to a particular company. I just simply want the best.

It is NOT a more painful machine. Quite the opposite! Where are they getting this information? How were they using this machine? If they had one, did they get proper training?

Maybe you can ease your confusion by talking directly to someone at Dectro. It's not for me to sell you on a particular epilator, but I tend to show my teeth when the hens start clucking. All I can say is my "relationship" with the Apilus Platinum has been very fruitful and satisfying. My clients have the final say and they all give a double thumbs up.

What I would worry about is your ability to get training on how to make the most of an Apilus Platinum if you actually purchased one. It would be best to take some time and visit one of their company locations (California, Massachusetts or Quebec) for the best instruction in the machine's use.

An instructor who was still teaching to "find the treatment level via the customer's pain tolerance" would be doing a GRAVE DISSERVICE to both the student and the victims of the overtreatments dished out by an over powered Platinum treatment.

Hope this helps to finalise someones decission (sp?) to purchase.
