"I've discussed with Pam about my point of view on treating these hairs with laser versus electrology. And Pam has decided (and part of it is affordability, time, and different reasons) that she wants to do electrology. She has a limited time (and her income, basically, the way it comes in biannually) that she likes to put in half hours, twice a month. So she's not in a hurry to get this work done, so we've chosen to do electrology. So now I'm going to treat her legs. The hair is coming down at this angle of growth, so I need to come in at this angle of growth. I'm going to slide that needle in (I'm not poking, and I know what the depth is from checking it earlier) and then I remove the hair. And here goes another, and I don't want to tug to go on, I just want to slid out and release without resistance. And then that hair has had enough treatment. I have a little bit of a bend in this needle, and I'm--because of--I must have hit it up against something. I would--normally I--sometimes if I can't straighten that needle out, I'm going to replace it with a new one. But this one isn't bent so much that I can't do that. So on we go treating the hairs, and then releasing them, and going on with the next one. I've got to be careful not to damage the skin. I've done judgment on how much treatment I need to give safely. So on we go, doing the work of clearing as much as we can in a half hour's work."
