"Now, when it comes to electrology, what you're doing is sliding that probe, the fine sterile probe down the follicle and with the other hand, you're picking up the hair, which is, it will release, it won't be a tug involved, if you've given adequate enough treatment to the hair and you're going to use that other hand to remove that hair. You don't want any of those hairs left in the skin, that would cause and infection. And, so, when we're treating like I'm going to do momentarily, I'm just showing you how it works, it's slid down, oops, I've got a little bit of a bend. You slide that hair down the follicle and then you remove. And then you drop the hair on your drape and off you go, and it's on, and on, and on. This goes on sometimes where people have a small amount of hair, we'd be working for fifteen minutes, if the larger for thirty. If I'm working on a beard, like with Pam, she has enough hair, if you look at close up, that I work on Pam for two hour sessions. And, we will reapply the emule as, when I move down the face, we will come back and a part that has not been treated and then I will reapply. So, by the time I get back to that emule, I mean this area, it'll be nice and numb and we can end up achieving a two hour session."
