Takes a minute to get it down
I ordered it a few weeks ago and the first one I used broke. It worked great the first few days, but I think I used too much salt water on my fingertips and it leaked into the pen which made it defective. So be careful not to overdo it with the wet fingers... They sent me a new machine and it works great! I’ve been using it for about 3 weeks now and I’m actually seeing results! As someone who struggles with hormonal issues and hirsitism this machine is a blessing. Now that I know what I’m doing, I come home after work everyday and use it while watching TV for about 2 hours and get about 35-40 hairs a night. It is a very tedious job, but just knowing I’ll never see these hair on my face again is worth every minute honestly. But if you’re considering purchasing this machine here’s a few tips I wish I would have known before using.<br /><br />Saltwater solution:<br />1/4 cup water with 2 tbs salt<br /><br />1. Lightly tap saltwater solution on pointer finger and rub onto thumb and middle finger.<br /><br />2. While holding the pen, be sure to keep all fingers off the metal part of the pen until needle is inside the follicle. This will help avoid scaring as well.<br /><br />3. Once you’ve secured the needle in place, slide fingers onto metal part to ignite the current in needle. Then you should feel tiny zap and white stuff should be exiting the follicle. (This means it’s working) I usually leave my needle in for about 3 or 4 beeps depending on how long you feel necessary.<br /><br />4. DO NOT PLUCK HAIR! If you feel a tug on the hair with your tweezer that means the hair is still connected and needs more time. Try about 2 more beeps and repeat if necessary until the hair just falls out easily.<br /><br />5. After I’m finished I’ll usually get a cold compress and keep it on for about 10-15 min and then I get a light moisturizer with no perfumes or additives that might irritate the skin. Helps with scabbing also.<br /><br />Hope this helps!! Happy zapping! 💥
