It’s not special really. I have the Texas Electrolysis Supply T-200 which has a pretty small footprint. The controls are not great, but the price was right. It’s usually on my coffee table for lower body stuff or my craft table for upper body stuff. There’s a small light and magnifier that clips on to the edge of the table. And not pictured, I have a mirror similar to yours for cosmetics that I use for this too, and a small, repurposed UPS to keep it from making the power dip in other stuff on the same circuit when it activates.
Works well enough for me. Though, I really would like a brighter light, and I never really was able to do the electrode very well. I have one to hold or one that’s a wrist strap, but the wrist strap doesn’t work very reliably, even with wet wipes under it, and the device is really picky about a good connection before it will activate.
Also wish there were better, weighted foot pedals that wouldn’t move around and get lost all the time. And I’ve been looking for something else to trigger it other than the pedal. I was thinking about making a switch I could bite on instead, but those would be hard to do well since it’s a wet environment, lol. But that way when I’m working on lower legs, it’s easier to get comfy on the couch rather than needing one leg on the floor at all times.
But either way, it was a great investment. With an IPL for the really thick hairs and the electrolysis machine for the rest, I made a lot of progress that would have been way too expensive otherwise. Still probably need another few rounds of pro treatment at some point for the harder to reach stuff, though. Trying to convince the girl I’m dating to do it, but she’s a little squeamish about trying, lol.
(For the conductivity issues, have you tried tens unit gel? It’s basically designed for exactly this, and a tube is both cheap and lasts a long time since you need very little)

Thanks for the tip. I’ll try it out.
