I ordered an electrolysis machine, and got the needle part from the pharmacy while waiting.On videos, these needles looked short and tiny even under zoom. In person, as soon as I see these needles and think of having to poke myself with one of these I feel weak. Help me I wasted all of my savings on that, there is no electrolysis in my city and buying one seemed like a good deal price wise.
>>45306030Are the needles used actual needles like the ones used for administering medications?
>>45306030not sure if this helps, but remember that you're slipping the shaft into a pre-existing hole, rather than puncturing your skin, so you can think of it that wayalso this might be too late but a tranner here designed an open source low voltage electrolysis machinemaybe get a close friend to help you?
>>45306081no they are very thin(think human hair) and not hollow
>>45306081no they're very thin, but are much longer than I though they'd be, think around fingernail length. >>45306088sadly nobody to help who'd want to waste time. i don't have much hair so I thought it'd be easy.
>>45306128Have you ever pulled a hair with tweezers? That's about how long they are in the skin past the past you see on the surface. It makes sense it would have to be this length
>B BUT IT LOOKS SO EASY ANYONE COULD DO THAT!!congrats moron
>>45306151that'd make sense. do i need to insert the tip all the way down? my skin is very thin and after waiting for the hair to grow for a month besides being black and ugly it's not that long.
>>45306088>also this might be too late but a tranner here designed an open source low voltage electrolysis machineNTA but I found something like that with a google search. Don’t know if it’s THE one you’re talking about, though.https://github.com/ImogenWren/electrolysisMachine
>>45306197I have no idea, I'm not the one who bought an electrolysis machine. But the image you posted in the op clearly shows the needle goes down to the root, so I'd assume that's how deep you have to go. If that varies based on skin thickness, you can probably find out by watching a tutorial and asking AI
look you can learn how to do this yourself but if you start with thermolysis you’re gonna scar the fuck out of yourself and probably not even kill the hair. so practice your insertions with no current, just doing the insertion until you can do it without poking yourself semi consistently. then start using the dc current mode. like 10 seconds at 0.50 mA. sometimes you gotta do two pulses for the coarser hairs. goodluck nonabtw it’s called a probe not a needle
you dont go all the way in. you want the tip only right at the end of the follicle. so the depth varies and you have to like sort of guess. it gets easier with experience.you take a tweezer and put it against the skin on a hair next to the target and pluck it out then hold it up next to the needle to check depth. then you slide into the target hair hole at about that depth real gentle and wait till you hit resistance and stop. your gonna wanna be moisturized and exfoliated and stuff, sometimes if i get stuck i pulse for a second and it lets me through, since it makes lye and its slippery. and you want the angle the same as the hair shaft. if you are at an angle it might burn the side of the hold or the top of the skin and not the follicle same if you are too shallow or too deep. if you get it right and its telogen you will get a black bulb and white/clear jelly, if its anogen the same but no black bulb. too short and thin no bulb no jelly just normal plucked looking, too deep and hockey stick cause it kinks and doesnt burn. oh also your hair has cycles, so even if you clear completely more will come in. that doesnt necessarily mean you messed up, you might have, but like a huge portion can be dormant at any given time depending on genetics and location it can take up to a year for them to grow out. so you gotta do multiple sessions in the same spot either way. i got the one that supposedly cant permanent damage. galvanic only, tiny battery. i guess it could scar if you run it like 4 times in a row on the same spot up over 200 lye units cumulative, but dont do that lol. https://pastebin.com/rBDBF072https://www.hairtell.com/forum/c/hair-removal-methods/do-it-yourself-electrolysis/33https://www.scd31.com/posts/diy-hair-electrolysis-machinehttps://gitlab.scd31.com/sophie/hair-electrolysis-machine-hardwarehttps://imzoe.me/projects/electrolysis/electrolysishttps://github.com/zoemaestra/hair-electrolysis-machine-usb-c
