4.0 out of 5 stars Great product but difficult to use, March 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: DS Laboratories Vector Electrolysis Hair Removal System (Health and Beauty)

I have been using this product to treat the hairs on the facial area, like on my beard and eyebrows. The product really seems to work, you can actually feel the hair follicle disolve inside your skin. I have tried other products in the past from SharperImage and Verseo and none of them worked. Unfortunately, however, treatment with the Vector is very painful and messy. You have to apply special conductive gel or otherwise the treatment will not work. Also, I wish the wires were longer so it would be more comfortable to do the procedure.

Overall, this is a great product (probably the only one that works) but it could definitely use several improvements in some areas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works, October 24, 2004

This review is from: DS Laboratories Vector Electrolysis Hair Removal System (Health and Beauty)

I purchased this sytem about 2 years ago and I have used it on various parts of my body and I have to say that it definitely works. The hair that was treated did not grow back and in fact hair does not grow back after just one treatment, even though the company recommends 2 - 3 treatments.

Although, I have to say that the Vector System is really not practical for large areas. For example it would take forever to remove all the hair on the legs since hair is being removed one hair at a time. The Vector is perfect if it is being used on facial areas or areas where only a patch of hair needs to removed. On these areas the hair can be removed quickly and you never have to deal with the hassle of tweezing anymore.

So for this reason I am going to give this product 4 stars since I can say I got my money's worth.

Also, the company offers terrific customer service with very fast reply to emails.

2.0 out of 5 stars Its really not that good, February 24, 2006

By	R. Hamilton (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think I wasted my money on this one. I wouldn't want you to do the same. The quality of the machine itself seems pretty solid and it does supply a current that can be felt on the skin. Is it doing anything to the hair? I guess I will find out in a few weeks time but I don't think so do to the difficulty of using the tweezers and gel.

My main problem with the machine are conductivity gel and the tweezers. The gel is suppose to be the bridge to getting the electric current to the hair root, however the gel is so slick that I couldn't grip the hair with the tweezers afterwards. I am NOT a novice with tweezers! I had a look at the tips of the tweezers and they were slightly uneven in thickness but no slight angle for gripping. Those who know a good pair of tweezers know what I am talking about. The tweezers are simply not that good and I have thick coarse hairs that I can yank with my nails sometimes. I wasn't able to grip the hairs and pull them out comfortably with the tweezers and I had to use a regular pair. Working with two pairs of tweezers was a pain. If the currently could have been applied trough my Tweezermans, then I wouldn't have a problem.

I thought that if I let the gel dry it would be a bit better. When the gel dries and starts to form a "skin" on the face that gets in the way and makes the tips of the tweezers gooey. The dried gel doesn't seem to catch the current according to the power meter on the box and so nothing is done to the root of the hair (I guess).

I didn't find it worth my time to remove about 10 hairs in 5 minutes.

I couldn't see using this machine without the foot pad. However, I found it easier to hold the foot pad in my hand while applying the current.

I wouldn't buy this machine, save your money and wait for the next best thing.

It just might be better just to leave it to the professionals. That is why they are still in business today.
