it works to its desired level.
Pros: It saves you about $200 an hour from seeing an actual electrolysis technician. It is easy, quick (on a per-hair basis),convenient, and a pretty fast learning curve.
Cons: In the same way that it is quick on a per-hair basis, it takes forever to do a whole section of ones body. 45 minutes barely finished a 1 x 1 patch. Second, the burns, the chances of getting burnt are high in the beginning. Third, the amount of time it takes to clear an area!
Other thoughts: Make sure you are following the instructions and moistening your fingers prior to use, and keeping them moist. You know the hair is done when you tweeze it and it slides right out and you don't feel a thing. Something else to bear in mind, make sure the probe is entering the follicle, you do not slide it against the hair, it has got to slide right into the follicle. Push it against the base of the hair, when it has penetrated the follicle two things should happen 1) the machine will emit a high-pitched tone, and 2)You will feel a tingle of varying intensity based upon the power setting you have chosen. I noticed that a whole bunch of white fluid bubbled out of the follicle when I did it, but it washes away. The thing is, is that it takes time and patience. Ultimately I have decided to switch to a campaign of body waxing, simply because it is faster, but the electrolysis is still on standby for those few-rogue hairs
