All epilators are designed for electrologists to manipulate two basic factors in order to best treat the wide range of hair types and client needs: Timing and Intensity. Depending on training, experience and the options offered by their epilator, some electrologists will choose to rely more on adjustments to Timing while others find better results with adjustments to Intensity.

Do you find that you rely more on one than the other? Does you choice depend more on the client's reactions, on the hair being treated, or the epilator being used? We'd love to hear about it!

After rave reviews at the AEA convention in October, we're excited to now offer this new-to-the-U.S. aftercare product to electrologists and estheticians- and now is a great time to try it!

We're offering a 20% discount on the purchase of 2 tubes throughout the month of January! Want to learn more? Visit our website and check it out:

Ever wondered why Stainless Steel is used to make the highest quality electrolysis probes and other medical devices?

Whether it's the only material or just the base material before adding a Gold or Insulated top coat, Stainless Steel is the metal of choice when manufacturing electrolysis probes. This is because Stainless Steel is chemically inert (aka, non-reactive) and corrosion resistant, and it can be safely sterilized without suffering pitting or other damage to the surface. Also, Stainless Steel conducts current such that current is distributed uniformly throughout the material and with limited current loss.

Stainless Steel is an alloy (mixture) that is comprised of mostly iron with small amounts of other metals that add additional advantages.
☼ Iron: strength
☼ Chromium: deposits an oxidation layer that resists corrosion
☼ Molybdenum: pitting & corrosion resistance
☼ Nickel: facilitates the manufacturing process & increases corrosion resistance

*Because Nickel can cause an allergic reaction, it is important that electrologists ask clients whether their skin reacts when wearing inexpensive earrings or other jewelry. Nickel sensitivity is the best indicator of a nickel allergy and should alert the electrologist that a Gold-coated probe will best serve the client’s needs.

Ever considered how the voltage from an outlet gets manipulated by your epilator?
Ohms Law describes the relationship between Voltage (V), Current (I) and Resistance (R) where V = I x R. The voltage that comes from a wall outlet doesn't change,* therefore, it is changes to Amperage (I) and Resistance (R) within an epilator that makes the steady flow of voltage available for epilation. (If amps go up, then resistance goes down, and vice versa.)

And the thing that makes this occur automatically during an electrolysis treatment? A crucial component in an epilator: the transformer! Transformers change voltage to usable levels of alternating current (AC) and provide galvanic isolation between circuits, among other tasks.

Fun fact: Transformers range in size from RF transformers less than a cubic centimeter in volume to units weighing hundreds of tons that are used to interconnect the power grid.

Celebrating U.S. National Motivation and Inspiration Day by recognizing the work of Natalie Hampton, creator of the Sit With Us app. At fifteen, Ms. Hampton decided to make a difference for others by creating an app that allowed teens who didn't have anyone to sit with at lunchtime a way to find peers extending an invitation to their tables. Despite not having coding skills herself, she conceptualized the app and found a programmer to help her make it happen. The end result was greater inclusivity and the opportunity for individuals to affect a school's community for the better. (Photo credit: https://mcc.gse.harvard.edu)

#3/3 - Modern blend epilators are designed so that the heat of Thermolysis speeds up the chemical reactions of the Galvanic process. The Blend epilator sends both AC (thermolysis alternating current) and DC (galvanic direct current) currents to the electrolysis probe so that the chemical reaction of Galvanic works alongside the heat of Thermolysis.

Note: Instantronics' Spectrum Elite is capable in performing all three electrolysis modalities: Galvanic, Thermolysis, and the Blend. We believe that all electrolysis modalities are effective when practiced by well-trained electrologists on a high performance epilator.

#2/3 - Unlike Galvanic which uses Direct Current (aka, "DC" which flows in one direction only), Thermolysis uses Alternating Current where the electrons move rapidly back and forth. The movement of the electrons creates enough heat to "cook" the proteins in the hair follicle until they unravel and lose the ability to grow new hairs. In both modalities, the stem cells are disabled so as not to grow new hairs, but the strategy for how the electrical current is being used differs between the two.

Note: Instantronics' Spectrum Elite is capable in performing all three electrolysis modalities: Galvanic, Thermolysis, and the Blend. We believe that all electrolysis modalities are effective when practiced by well-trained electrologists on a high performance epilator.

As 2025 draws to a close, we're reflecting back on the remarkable history of electrolysis and glad that Charles Michel made his breakthrough epilating ingrown hairs from Civil War soldiers!

#1/3- GALVANIC epilation uses electrical current flowing in a single direction from a power source, through the client, and back to the battery through an electrode that is kept in contact with the client during epilation.

Electricity then epilates hair by initiating a chemical reaction. Electrons flowing through the hair follicle react with salts and water naturally found within cells to form sodium hydroxide (lye, or NaOH). The lye first unravels and then saponifies (turns into soap) the proteins on the surface of cells, killing the stem cells that can regrow hair.

Note: Instantronics' Spectrum Elite is capable in performing all three electrolysis modalities: Galvanic, Thermolysis, and the Blend. We believe that all electrolysis modalities are effective when practiced by well-trained electrologists on a high performance epilator.
