Have used this about for 3 months now (1 use per week, 2 hours each time) for facial hair. Initially, I didn't notice any changes, but I continued even though it is fairly painful and time consuming. After the first month, I began to notice a bit less hair. Not sure how long the other reviewer used this product for, but I think this process just takes multiple procedures and plenty of time.

In regards to the pain that others have mentioned, I agree that it is annoying at first, but the device allows you to lower the intensity. I basically used a lower intensity first and after awhile I got used to the sensation so now use the device at the mid-high level. In fact, it's recommended by the manufacturer to start with a lower intensity level first to see if your skin can handle the procedure without permanent scarring. There will be temporary faint reddish marks after each use but they go away in 1-2 days with use of skin lotion.

I can confidently say that after 2 months of usage (roughly 1-2 times a week depending on the speed of your hair growth) you'll notice the changes. If you're not a patient person or have a low pain threshold, you will want to avoid this product. I gave this product 4 stars because it worked for me but it is slow process that takes time so I can't recommend it to everybody.

This item felt like it was working, that is I got the "tiggle" and the hair "fell" out but grew back, I have treated the same hair 3x and it is still coming back. I was optimistic when I ordered it, hopeful when I used it and discourage when I couldn't return it! The return policy allows for 30 days and the item directions say to use it for 60 days.... the math doesn't quite add up.... anyway I wouldn't buy this item again, although I would SELL it to you for 1/2 the price I paid if you want to take your chances.... shopgirl6691@comcast.net

I've been with my boyfriend a long time and recently he moved a few hours away, so we are currently in a long distance relationship. Like most men these days, he's been brainwashed by culture and the media that all women are supposed to be 100% smooth and naturlly hair free except for head eyebrows and eye lashes. And- like a lot of guys, he made me feel self conscious about my dark hair. we used to see eachother a lot and I was pretty much shaving everyday...you name it...and i probably shaved it. Since he went away i've been lazy and not shaving anymore, but since my hair is growing out i thought i'd take the opportunity to remove the hair with a new method that might make it come back slower. I discovered this product and when i read that it made hair NEVER COME BACK i naturally HAD to try it. I was so excited i tried it right away. I read some review that said it hurt, but i've tried waxing and plucking hairs and i'm pretty good at dealing with the pain so i thought what the hell i'm sure i can deal. It said it created a slight tingling sensation...aka BURNING PAIN. The directions said the average setting was 4 (it goes to 10) and that you should apply it on each hair for 15 seconds. I had it set on 1 and i tried it on a hair and couldn't even leave it in for 5 seconds it burned so bad. i can't even imagine the people who set it to 10! they must be either crazy or desensitized. i kept trying to give it a chance over and over but it was so painful. i tried to set it on 2 and started swearing. The package says to keep the tweezers on hand to pull out the dead hair when you're done so you don't have to look away and loose your spot. Let me tell you...you don't even have to worry about loosing your spot...the area is so red and the pore is bubbling with white puss looking stuff that..trust me you WON'T loose your spot. The only thing that this product made me realize is how ridiculous it is- the pain we go through to look good and the pressure us women (and men) are put under for having hair on our bodies that is completely natural and harming no one! i have read that the product does infact remove hair forever, this was my first time using it so i can't say that for sure yet. so, if you want to go through that and your hair is gone forever...more power to you and good luck...i hope you don't pass out from the pain. i read a review about a man who didnt believe his wife about the pain so he tried it...he was in the marines and said it hurt like hell. I was skeptical but now i believe him. If you want electrolysis i recomend you have a few stiff drinks and then go get it professionaly done.

I've been using it on my wife's bikini line. It works, and it's permanent...but it's not fast and easy. Be prepared to spend a lot of time on it.

I don't like this One Touch electrolysis thing. It makes annoying noises, it irritates the skin, it takes forever, it's not painless as claimed on various sites where I read about it, and another false statement is the "self adjusting stylet tip can't ever pierce skin." I plan to get rid of it on eBay.
