Review (1/5): Disappointing, frustrating and happily returned!
I don't understand how to rate for "sheerness" or "thickness," but in the end I returned the product. I indeed heeded the written reviews and online videos on best practices for using this at-home electrolysis device. I am willing to do whatever I can to safely, aesthetically and economically eliminate my unwanted hair, even when that requires the utmost patience. This product is too cheap, clunky and is not designed ergonomically for an individual performing electroysis on herself. I realize you get what you pay for, and that is true here. Yet in 2020, you might expect a more advanced and sophisticated re-model of this device (i.e. camera on tip of pen for hard to see areas, better tweezers, better needles, etc., as some users noted). In my sessions the needle either would constantly pop out of its socket (it is too hard and a waste of time to find it when this happens frequently) or the needle would bend beyond repair. The replacement needles are too costly in my opinion. The worse part was when I called the manufacturer directly no one could not tell me what the needle was made out of and no one returned my messages (for me that is not a good sign). When I did manage to insert the needle and subsequently tweeze the hair, my skin was left with a slightly hypopigmented spot when it healed. It has been a few months and the light marks around the follicule where I did the electroylsis are still there. That may have been a trade-off if the hairs did not end up growing back. However, the hairs always grew back. Since the needles were problematic and the device was not producing results, I decided to just return it finally!
