Over the past few months, we've shared our story of Instantronics journey from the acquisition in 2023 of the assets of The Instantron Company, our discovery in 2024 of manufacturing issues, and working with a variety of engineers to resolve these issues. We reengineered the manufacturing processes in order to guarantee the quality of the Elite Spectrum and other epilators we ship. 

So, why invest in this particular epilator? What differentiates it from the many other epilators available to today's electrologists?

One of the fundamental characteristics of the Elite Spectrum is inherent in its name: it offers a SPECTRUM of possibilities to its users.  For the electrologist, this epilator employs a straightforward, easy to use interface for clients settings using any of the three electrolysis modalities- thermolysis, blend or galvanic. For estheticians, this epilator is able to perform anaphoresis, cataphoresis, or a full galvanic facial. For practitioners of advanced electrolysis (where licensure allows), this epilator is powerful enough to be used for skin tag removal and red vein treatment. Further, the Elite Spectrum can be purchased as a "Base" (RF  and Galvanic currents) or can be ordered with enhanced functionality. The "Air" function provides forced hair from the machine, through special Air needle holders and out along the needle, providing a gentle flow of air to distract the client's nerves from the discomfort of electrolysis. Another option is an upgrade to "K-Power" which provides an approximately 20% increase in power to the machine. These upgrades can be purchased singly or together, and they can be ordered at the time of purchase or at any time after receiving your new Elite Spectrum.   

The reengineered Instantronics Elite Spectrum is built to be a true workhorse: rugged, reliable, and designed for long-term use. Purchasers of the Elite Spectrum can count on knowing their purchase is backed by a three-year warranty on all parts and labor for any newly purchased epilator,* hassle-free returns in the event that a epilator or epilator accessory is found to be defective, and personal, prompt customer service. The company is led by Dr. Sara Paisner, President of Synoptic Products, and a woman with deep roots in the electrolysis industry. She understands that value matters to the small business owners who make up this industry and work as entrepreneurs, caregivers, and Allied Health Professionals. 

We  believe that electrolysis has the ability to profoundly affect people's lives for the better, and that the Elite Spectrum is a tool that can help electrologists enact that change in their clinic practice.

Galvanic electrolysis is a form of electrolysis accomplished via direct current that is passed through the body. It is the oldest form of electrolysis, originally developed back in the late 1800s to treat ingrown eyebrow hairs resulting from battlefield surgeries. By inserting a metal filament into a hair follicle and sending direct current (DC) through the wire, hair growth in that follicle was destroyed. 

This method of electrolysis is accomplished via a chemical reaction. Water (H2O) combined with salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) in the presence of electrons formed by the flow of the DC current results in the formation of hydrogen gas (H2), chlorine gas (Cl2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), commonly referred to as lye or caustic soda. This lye (NaOH) is a strong corrosive base that dissolves most living tissue.  The chemical formula is written like this: 

H2O + NaCL  = H2 + CL2 + NaOH

During electrolysis, the lye (NaOH) that has been created dissolves the chemical bonds normally present in the hair follicle's proteins and disables the ability of stem cells to grow new hairs.  This method of decomposition is called saponification.

When making a purchase, electrologists must weigh the pros and cons of any investment, but particularly that of their epilator. The epilator is, quite literally, the quintessential piece of equipment in an electrolysis clinic! Reliability, longevity, practicality, and flexibility of use are important factors.  In addition, customer service and support as well as the company's longevity and commitment to the industry must be considered. At Instantronics, we manufacture professional epilation machines for the electrolysis industry, the only permanent method of hair removal that supports countless clients in feeling confident in their skin. And we don’t just build machines, we support the entire community of electrologists who rely on them. Alongside our flagship epilators, we also manufacture accessories, stock needed supplies, and develop information resources to help hair removal professionals deliver safe, effective results for every client. 

Instantronics epilators are designed with the electrologist in mind: they are straightforward to set up, easy to operate, fully customizable, and don't feature confusing digital menus or presets that are unneeded for successful treatments. Electrologists tell us that one of the things they love about the Elite Spectrum is how easy it is to use. Further, they enjoy having a single machine that can be used for treatments ranging from flash thermolysis to blend, skin tag removal, and even a full galvanic facial. 

Instantronics epilators are built to last. We pride ourselves on our commitment to quality manufacturing and customer care. Unlike much of today’s disposable technology, Instantronics epilators are true workhorses:  rugged, reliable, and engineered for long-term use. Many electrologists still use epilators purchased 20 years ago, and we are ready and able to service and support these epilators. We also have a strong commitment to the people behind the practice. Instantronics is a woman-owned business serving an industry where over 90% of practitioners are women and small business owners. To us, these electrologists are not just customers, they are also entrepreneurs, caregivers, and change-makers who run independent practices across the country that often supply services to niche or underserved populations.

All electrolysis needles used today are fully sterilized. This is extremely important for safety due to the dangers of blood borne diseases, such as AIDS, or diseases that can be transmitted via bodily fluids, such as COVID or influenza.  

There are two primary methods of sterilization for electrolysis today, EOG Sterilization and Radiation Sterilization.
