I injected some lido - wasnt numb - i should have waited longer and inject more - but i noticed when the needle was already in.
They loose sharpness so easy and that would be less clean so i continued
Was numb enaugh i guess.
Was painful though Xg3 V2 - Whats the status
In my finger i instalation i injected 4ML - here just 0,6ml of 0.5% solution
Okay, i got some sleep and now im able to give some more details
It was a Bevel Down job, done without lidocaine injection.
Spoiler:
I hardly felt anything! the pliers on the skin were the bigger discomfort then the needle going in - i was also surprised how small the needle is
DIRECT after the installation i was able to get constant reads and see the light!
In the beginning it was green, then it was red for like 15 min and then it went green again.
My goal was to bring it as close to the dermal layers as possible, so i can get good reads - and i think i have succeed - now i need to play the Waiting game to see if it is too close to the skin
I had my xG3 installed Saturday evening. It was installed in my left hand knife edge. My experience was mostly painless with no anesthetic. The process was recorded, but I’m uncertain on posting that. Here’s some pictures of the needle in and the site 12 hours later.
please post the vid, if you can!! knife edge footage is super rare for some reason and it’ll be great to have as reference for other people’s installs.
Firstly I’m no expert, and the install looked like it went fine.
Just a couple of observations / suggestions for next time.
Palpate the area beforehand
Pinch and tent the skin whilst rolling skin between fingertips , you should be able to feel if there are any veins within the “tent”.
I could see in your video that it looked like there were 2 tents pitched. The pinch and roll would have eliminated that plus it would reduce the chance of piercing something you shouldn’t…
again, not an expert.
And it looked like everything went well.
so congrats and
