Approximately 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and Breast Cancer Awareness Month was begun as a way of raising global awareness of the disease and encourage women to get tested regularly. Naturally, the parade of pink ribbons can mean different things to different people- a reminder that continued progress in treatment protocols is only possible with continued medical research, an opportunity to celebrate progress made, a trigger that brings up personal or family losses due to breast cancer, or a chance to show support for the more than 2 million women around the world who are diagnosed with the disease each year. Wherever you land in this spectrum, we hope that your observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month will be meaningful to you.

Thank you to the Electrology Association of Illinois for the+ opportunity to share my talk "Hormones & Electrolysis - Methods of Action & Outcomes" at their Fall Seminar yesterday! -Sara

Thank you to the Northern Chapter of the Electrologists' Association of California for the opportunity to present on "Understanding the Science of Epilation Needles" at last night's meeting! -Sara

Saponification is a chemical process, occurring when soap is made from glycerine. The direct current used during galvanic and blend electrolysis causes heat within a hair follicle that creates this same chemical reaction, thereby permanently damaging the active proteins present at the base of the hair follicle and destroying the hair follicle's ability to grow new hairs.

Although extremely rare, some individuals are allergic to gold and would have an adverse reaction to the use of a gold probe during electrolysis. Out of an abundance of caution, it is wise to ask about allergies before choosing probes for a new client.

It's worth noting that a person who is allergic to gold will almost always know that they have this allergy - unlike someone who may have a sensitivity or allergy to stainless steel.

Thank you to the Atlanta Comfort Conference for the opportunity to present at this year's conference! I hope to participate again in future years! -Sara

Tomorrow morning, Dr. Sara Paisner will present her talk "The Science of Hormones and Hair Growth and Removal" at the 2026 Atlanta Care Conference. If you're at the conference, be sure to stop by to say hello!

Thank you to all who attended last week's Instantronics Users Group virtual meeting! It was truly an international affair, but with Instantronics users located around the world, we were reminded that meeting times that work for some time zones are quite impossible for others.

The solution: more frequent meetings with more various start times! Please mark your calendars for the next Group meeting on November 14, 4:00 p.m. EST (GMT-5). If you have any questions about this or suggestions on a topic focus, please reach out to us through social media or email.
