Hi,
I've just had a lady come in for electrolysis on the chin. I use a diathermy unit so started on a low intensity and slowly increased the intensity but the strong hairs would not budge. I used a 4s needle which should have been perfect. Not only that, i felt that probing was really hard as the skin seemed to cover the folicl and a few times there were blood spots due to the fact that i had to break the skin to get the probe in.
Basically i found that very few hairs slid out, even with increased intensity and longer treatment times.
Its left me a bit worried as many hairs had to be pulled out as they would not slide out and if they come out just as hard as before, my client will lose faith in my ability.
Any tips would really be appreciated.
