To best treat the wide range of hair types and client needs seen by electrologists, all epilators are designed for electrologists to manipulate two basic factors: 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 from you whether you use an Instantronics epilator or one made by another manufacturer!

First called Mahler Inc., then The Mahler Company, then The Instantron Company, is the oldest continually operating epilator manufacturer in the the world.

Have you considered why you may have to increase your epilator settings when using a larger probe? This Tech Tuesday invites you to consider how the electrolysis probe affects the heating pattern it creates in the hair.

At first glance, it's a good guess that: larger probe = more heat. However, this isn't the case. Instead, the greater surface area of a larger probe requires higher levels of current to maintain the same overall quantity of heat. A rough analogy illustrating this phenomenon is to compare the amount of time needed to heat up a small vs. a large pan. The larger pan takes longer to heat up. And, much larger pans will naturally take much more time to heat up!

Throughout the US, the work of the American Electrology Association supports electrologists and helps the public differentiate between the permanent hair removal of electrolysis vs. other temporary hair removal solutions. Thank you!

Patented in 1924, the Banana Connector's simple design has stood the test of time, and it remains the connector of choice in many applications where a single electrical wire connects to equipment such as epilators.

The banana-like shape that gives the plug its' name is due to one or more metal springs that bulge slightly outward from the pin. When inserted, the metal spring presses against the side of the socket, producing a snug fit and improving electrical conductivity. The non-machine end of the plug has a lug connector where a length of flexible insulated equipment wire is attached.

On the Instantronics' Elite Spectrum, there are four banana connectors used: namely, the connectors between the red cord and electrode, between the black cord and the roller, and at the junction where both of these cords connect to the epilator.

BNC connectors are used for coaxial cables that transmit RF (radio frequency) signals. Coaxial cables have a four-layer structure: a single wire inner conductor surrounded by an insulating layer that is then overlaid with a woven, metallic braid that shields against current loss or signal interference, and finally, an outer layer of insulation.

In epilators, the BNC connector is an ideal RF connector because it extends and maintains the shielding built into the structure of a RF transmission coaxial cable while it transmits radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range. A BNC connector maintains the integrity of the signals being transmitted while simultaneously blocking external signals that might otherwise cause electromagnetic interference. Since coaxial cables are used for many different purposes, a wide variety of connector styles have been developed to address a range applications.

In the Elite Spectrum, the BNC connectors that connect the epilator to the probe holders are equipped with a locking mechanism to ensure that they maintain their connection and do not accidentally release. (This is true for both the regular and the air-enabled Probe Holders.) However, other BNC connectors may be fastened with braces, screw threads or other mechanism.

Today's connector is the Pin Connector (aka XLR connectors or "Canon plugs"), a cylindrical electrical connectors that feature three to seven pins such that the "male" pins require a specific orientation to fit into a "female" receptacle. On the Elite Spectrum, the foot pedal is connected to the back side of the epilator with an XLR3 connector, that is, a pin connector that has three pins. Note: the XLR connector resembles the DIN connector, but the XLR is larger, more robust and is physically incompatible with the DIN.

Trivia bonus: the term "XLR" originated as a trademark of Cannon Electric (think cameras), with the letters standing for "X" model connector with an added "L" for latch feature, and "R" for resilient neoprene rubber surrounding the female contacts.
