Experience report on needle epilation training – Lara Ünlü, treatment expert at skinflow Unterhaching reports

My two-day practical training for electroepilation at Cosmomed

I have been a treatment expert for permanent hair removal at skinflow Unterhaching since 2010. I have been treating very successfully with our IPL treatment devices for years – but I was always faced with the problem of not being able to help some customers at all, or not completely, because their hair was too gray or white. That’s why I was delighted to learn about electroepilation. Here I report on my two-day training course at Cosmomed in the Ruhr area.

The experience I gained during the training was not only extremely enriching for me professionally, but also very valuable personally.

The training gave me a deep understanding of this precise method of hair removal and gave me the confidence I needed to use it successfully in practice.

The first day began with a detailed theoretical introduction. First, the basics of needle epilation were explained, including the various techniques such as thermolysis, the blend method and electrolysis. I found the anatomical and dermatological aspects, which play an important role in successful and skin-friendly treatment, particularly interesting.

Our instructor was extremely knowledgeable and had a lot of practical experience. She explained to us in detail how needle epilation works, which skin types and hair structures can be treated particularly well and what to look out for during the application. Hygiene regulations and the correct use of the devices were also discussed in detail. It was particularly helpful that she responded to every question in detail and was individually attuned to our needs.

The theoretical introduction was followed by the practical part of the training, which was the most exciting part for me. Each participant was given the opportunity to practise on real customers and apply the techniques they had learned directly. I was a little hesitant at first, as working with the fine needle requires a lot of precision. However, thanks to the great support from our instructor and the well-structured exercises, I quickly gained confidence and self-assurance.

It was particularly impressive to see how effectively needle epilation works in practice. After just a few applications, I was able to see how targeted and sustainable this method is. I also received valuable tips on how to improve my treatment technique and avoid potential mistakes.

A big advantage of the training was the individual support. As the number of participants was limited, the lecturer was able to take enough time for each of us. This allowed her to focus on our strengths and weaknesses and give us valuable tips for practical application.

During the training, various challenges that can arise in practice were also addressed. We learned how to react to sensitive skin or difficult hair structures and which after-treatments are recommended to optimally care for the skin. I found the discussion about the long-term success of needle epilation and the advantages over other hair removal methods particularly interesting.

The needle epilation training was an all-round positive experience for me. Not only did I acquire in-depth knowledge, but I was also able to develop practical skills that will be of great benefit to me in my future career. The combination of theory and practice, the competent and empathetic support and the pleasant atmosphere helped me to feel that I was in good hands at all times.

I left the course with increased self-confidence in the use of needle epilation and look forward to continuing to apply and deepen this knowledge. My clients’ experiences have been consistently positive. Now we can also successfully treat unwanted hair, which unfortunately we couldn’t do anything about before.
