Apilus^® Senior II

The Apilus^® Senior II offers an impressive list of high-performance functions.

Reliability
By taking advantage of the latest technological developments, the new Apilus^® Senior II represents a new level of excellence in computer-controlled permanent hair removal. Comparator circuits guarantee unparalleled current stability, while the new protection module "Processor Sentinel" (PS) constantly monitors the condition of the microprocessor. It comes as no surprise that the Apilus^® Senior II is the number-one choice for anyone who seeks reliable, comfortable and safe treatment conditions.

Performance
A 25% power increase, and adjustments accurate to one thousandth of a second allow the use of the MicroFlash^® mode, which provides more comfortable and rapid treatments. Other modes such as Flash, thermolysis and thermocoagulation are also offered on the Apilus^® Senior II.

Effectiveness
A whole range of high-performance possibilities in electrolysis or Blend modes combine different advantages to provide more effective treatments. Maximize your results with the OmniBlend^® mode, which sets the ideal level of thermolysis and ensures that treatments are perfectly adapted to your client's sensitivity when you use the Tolerance Test.

Easy to use
Directly displayed on screen, all 360 programs included in the Apilus^® Senior II have been carefully prepared to cater to each specific area of the body. Furthermore, the Apilus^® Senior II allows you to add up to 40 personalized programs. Nothing could be simpler to adapt to each particular situation! The addition of cataphoresis programs greatly facilitates the use of the cataphoresis mode. Combined with an application alarm, it allows you to end your electrolysis treatments gently.

Innovations
Innovative techniques provide undeniable improvements to the quality of care provided by the user of the Apilus^® Senior II. The MicroFlash^® Proportional Pulsing function (MPP) automatically compensates the application time of thermolysis when more than one pulse is required, thus optimizing the comfort of your client. The energy level key (eL) indicates the calorific value applied during treatment in Flash or MicroFlash^® modes, confirming user-controlled adjustments. Furthermore, the Apilus^® Senior II offers:

• A personalized recording of the name and phone number of your institute
• An alpha-numerical display available in several languages
• An automatic adjustment of the insertion delay in automatic mode
• An accessory verification function
• The ability to store up to 10 user names in memory
• A simple billing system which includes the date and time
• Printed reports using an optional external printer

Sterilization Equipment and techniques in use at the Institute includes Dry Heat and Steam (Autoclave) technologies.

We clean instruments such as tweezers using ultrasonic technology.  This graphic and description is typical of the models in use at the facility.

  These CNC machines have the strictest tolerances, which can only be achieved with today's latest technologies. This, coupled with using the highest grade, nonmagnetic stainless steel and top quality components, makes every one of our products the finest on the market.
  
  These sterilizers are used in all fields, including medical doctors, veterinarians, dentists, electrologists, tattoo artists, hospitals, military facilities, testing laboratories, medical colleges, public school systems, corporate infirmaries, institutions, etc. Of Course, Wayne Dry Heat Sterilizers are registered with the Food and Drug Administration and Underwriter's Laboratories listed.
  
  Dry Heat Sterilization is one of the 3 methods of destroying bacteria and microorganisms recommended by the Center for Disease Control whose sterilization guidelines we follow.  Unlike other methods, dry heat does not rust or corrode instruments and is for use with metal, glass, and ceramics.  

We always sterilize tweezers and maintain them in a sterile condition before use.  We do NOT re-use probes in any form.  We utilize pre-sterilized single use probes.  

TREATMENT ROOM FURNISHINGS:

We use a variety of furnishings for treatment rooms including rolling carts to hold our epilators and treatment supplies, high intensity lights by Dazor and Luxo, ergonomically adjustable operator chairs and back supports, and two different types of treatment chairs/beds including:

		The Elite Silver Hydraulic Chair from Silhouette-Tone 15° tip-up seat system Full 360° swivel base, Hydraulic adjustable height The arms automatically adjust to the position of the chair and are easily removed,  Very versatile, lays completely flat for body work Ours are all in a deep brown or black leather-like marine grade water proof and disinfectant friendly covering

OPTICALS WE UTILIZE:

Electrology can be very labor intensive and many an electrologist has sacrificed his or her back and eyes. See how her neck is bent in the picture--even though her posture is excellent and this is a pretty easy angle and area to work on.  Talk about neck pain!  

We believe in developing good ergonomically correct work-habits from the start.  Instead of bending over old-fashioned magnifier lights, we recommend a more ergonomically correct solution, scopes, or loupes. 

Some people prefer to try cheap magnifying glasses, and they work in the short run but think of how close (generally 4 inches or less from your work area!) you have to be.  Orascopes eliminate this problem giving you 30+inches of work space. 

Some programs might show images of students using loupes while looking through an old-fashioned magnifying lamp.  They claim this increases the magnification the user would have.  Orascoptic has commented on the use of loupes such as these in addition to a magnifying light as being an indicator of someone "who doesn't know what they are doing."  As the manufacturer does not recommend combining these two tools (as it causes optical distortion and does not increase the magnification) and is in the words of a sales representative the combination is "just stupid" we do not use the combination here.

Dimension-3® Widest Field Optics | Mid Range Level - Class II Dimension-3 Galilean loupes set the industry standard for comfort and performance. The patented Dimension-3 optics deliver a large depth-of-field, the brightest images, and the best resolution across the entire field-of-view.

They also offer a brand new kind of Loupe:  This is the model loupes we use.  If you aren't sure what to order, have them look up the Institute Students and they will know what we get and we generally order the "regular or long" working distance.  If you are over 5'5", go with long!

HiRes™
The Next Level of Superior Visualization™
Setting a new standard with a revolutionary new optical design. HiRes combines the most important features in a loupe system - high resolution, a wide viewing field and lightweight comfort - and all in a smaller loupe system.
