The combined currents
The Blend modes use galvanic current to create
a chemical reaction which modifies the molecules
of water and salt to produce lye. High frequency
current combined with galvanic current gradually
warms the lye to make it more reactive. The combi-
ned currents (Blend) are typically used when dea-
ling with deformed and/or very tough anagen hairs.
PicoBlend
The PicoBlend superimposes 27.12 MHz thermoly-
sis impulses at a low intensity with a galvanic cur-
rent. This technique is similar to Blend impulses.
OmniBlend
The OmniBlend is a proprietary technique to
the Apilus xCell. Simultaneously, it applies one
27.12 MHz thermolysis current of low intensity with
a galvanic current. Heating is then applied uni-
formly throughout the treatment. It is a comfortable
Blend technique and is easy to use.
MultiBlend
The MultiBlend , is a combination of OmniBlend
and PicoFlash. This technique applies, simul-
taneously, a galvanic current, a continuous
27.12 MHz thermolysis impulse with a high intensity
PicoFlash impulse at the end of the process. As
with OmniBlend, tissue heating is applied uniformly
throughout the treatment. This highly efficient tech-
nique is ideal for deep stubborn hairs.
EvoluBlend
The EvoluBlend method is characterized by the
application of a progressively ramping galvanic
current, starting at an intensity of 0 mA up to the
comfort threshold of your customer. A low intensity
27.12 MHz thermolysis current is applied simulta-
neously, ensuring an effective treatment even for
toughest hairs. Perform a tolerance test prior to
treatment, see chapter 3.
SynchroBlend (new)
The SynchroBlend mode offers unparalleled effi-
ciency in removing deep and stubborn hair. It uses
a galvanic current superimposed by several pico-
pulses 2 to 5 milliseconds each, which are inters-
persed with a period of thermal relaxation. This
technique may be accompanied by a bulb-bulge-
bulb displacement and and should be used with
isolated IsoBlend probes.
NOTES : For the best results when using combined
currents and to ensure that the treatment will be
comfortable for the client, it is necessary that the
treated hairs are in the anagen phase. In order to
succeed in creating lye, it is important to have maxi-
mum hydration. When in catagen or telogen phase,
the rate of moisture within the follicle is minimal or
zero. Therefore it is not recommended to use Blend
combined currents in such cases. It is also sug-
gested to avoid applying the Blend combined cur-
rents for very superficial hairs and for the eyebrow
region. This type of current is therefore preferred to
use in cases of removing tough, deformed, deep
anagen hairs. Always check to see if your client has
any contraindications to galvanic current before
using Blend.
When applying combined currents, it is important
that the inactive electrode (bar or plate electrode)
remains in constant contact with the client’s skin
since galvanic current must flow. This electrode
should be placed as close as possible to the
area being treated. In order to maintain excellent
contact, the inactive electrode must be covered
by a sponge-like cover (supplied with the unit) or a
wet compress.
WARNING: It is important to disconnect the Vita-
Phase StimuloMassage SM device when working
in combined current mode (Blend) in order to pre-
vent any power loss through this output.
