One Touch Deluxe Electrolysis

The only reason I give this item 4 stars is because it is not as easy as it states. However, I am so happy I bought this product. I regret spending over $200 going to an electrolysis for the past few months when this item does the exact same thing the electrolysis does but at a fraction of the price. Yeah you do have to do it yourself but if you are a money conscious person like myself, that will not matter. This was the best $40 I've ever spent but I do suggest to go to a pro first so you'll know what to expect when doing this at home.

I bought this item and tried it at home around my eyebrow area. How it works is you're supposed to touch this salty water with one hand and then use the machine on yourself. Stick the machine's needle into the pore from which the hair grows and wait (tearing up from the slight stinging pain) while a little white bubbly mess starts forming around the pore. Then you're theoretically supposed to pull out the hair easily.

Ok, and the reality is that I don't recommend people to buy and use this product. Let a professional do it if you must, TRUST ME. It is very hard to get the little needle to go properly into the pore... you end up damaging skin on the surface of your skin and under it as well. Also, the needle gets bent pretty easily. My eyebrow area ended up looking pretty mangled up after my attempt-- there were small red craters in various places between and around my eyebrows.

Oh, and the hairs grew back anyway because the settlings don't go high...Read more

Back in the 80's my mom and aunt used a home electrolyis machine religiously, without much by way of results. A few months ago my aunt found her ancient machine, which she passed along to me...I used it a few times and it didn't really seem to work, but it prompted me to head online and see what kind of newer, presumably better, home electrolysis kits were on the market. After reading some positive reviews I was hopeful that this electrolysis machine would be my ticket to getting rid of unwanted facial hair. I was shocked when I opened the box and found THE EXACT SAME MACHINE that my aunt purchased way back in 1982. I popped in the battery and fired it up, setting aside an hour a day for a month to work on hair removal. The results: negligible. I continued for the next couple of months to use the machine for an hour at least twice a week -- and on the highest setting -- but the hair kept coming back AND I ended up with ingrown hairs in some of the places I worked on.
