Flat Needle
|
|
|
1.
|
Skin heals better
|
|
|
2.
|
Has an additional “sleeve” which
protects the sharpness, not like others that bend
easily, which can cause bleeding or scarring or
problems. In between the needles is space to hold
pigment, for better deposit of color. Flat has a finer
point than round, better for eyeliner and eye area
because there is less trauma to the skin. Skin heals
better and locks in more color as a result. More color
means less fading!
|
|
|
3.
|
Flat needles are used around the eye
because it delivers a straight line rather than zig-zag
and heals much faster.
|
|
|
4.
|
Flat needles can also be used for
outline, brow feathering, brush hair strokes, alignment,
or fill-in lip shading at a 45º angle. Lips are a mucous
membrane and have a much different texture than
skin.
|
|
Round Needles:
|
|
|
1.
|
Round needle configurations are good
for filling in brows, thick eyeliners and for outlining
the lip area. Other round needles on the market
penetrate at staggered intervals but with the BioTouch
Accupoint Series, each needle group is bound and
receives 100% of the machine’s power.
|
|
|
2.
|
Lips scar easily, and lipliner should
have pigment embedded by a round needle
configuration.
|
|
TIP
- Inform the technician/client that
both configurations are essential for maximum results
and that you are there to help them define what is best.
If they are just starting out, try a 2 or 3 prong at
first. Build up to more prongs later as they gain
confidence and speed.
|
|
3 prong flat = eyebrow, hair stroke, or thin eyeliner.
|
|
4 prong flat = Speeds up the above, but
also used to fill in thick liner on lips.
|
|
6 prong flat = fill in lips
|
|
|
|
5 prong round = fill in thicker
eyeliner
|
|
5 or 7 round = to outline lips
|
|
|
|
TIP
- If customer has delicate skin, use 3
prong. Tougher skin can use 4. Use the information guide
for reference.
|
|
|
|
TIP- Make sure the technician is holding the machine
properly, with the needles at a proper 45 or 90 angle.
All needles in the configuration should be touching the
skin.
