It takes a lot of patience but it works

Initially you might feel like it isn't working but do not give up. You need time and patience to work with the equipment, but hang on and only do it yourself the places that you can reach and see if you can get your friend help you as some areas are nearly impossible to do yourself. Please do not do it in a hurry, you might end up scarring yourself. Do not put the power setting to max(1-10) start at the lowest setting and only increase it to the level that you need , i think 4 should work even for strong black hairs. After some practice you would know which setting is best for you.Rub some Isoprophyl alcohol on the area that you would be working on.The probe(needle) bends easily so be careful.

I BOUGHT THIS ITEM AS A GIFT FROM FOLICA FOR XMAS. I PURCHASED ON THE 21ST SO I WAS NOT SURE IF I COULD RCV IN TIME FOR XMAS. I CALLED ON THE 23RD AND DID NOT REALLY GET A TRACKABLE YES OR NO AS THE POSTAL SERVICE WAS THE CARRIER...BUT REALLY FEDEX. IT ARRIVED RIGHT ON TIME ON 24TH...NO PROBLEMS...FOLICA REALLY CAME THROUGH! THANKS!!

It does take time,however, it does work if you know how to use it. READ the instruction and make sure that you have it on a low setting for your face. Great money saver, anything cheap takes time.
REALLY WORKS

I bought this machine bc it was a great price and had many positive reviews. It does take patience but it works and is so worth it. It doesn't hurt. It's more annoying than painful. Also the first machine I bought just stopped working shortly after I got it and folica sent me a new one. The only thing is that the needles do bend very easy so be careful. If you have unwanted hair that really bothers you, then you should try this for sure.

Hi, I have been using this for a while now. Spent ALOT on facial hair removal. Even laser which reuqired me to shave, once I couldnt afford laser anymore I was in a habit of shaving my face- not feminine and not effective! I used to do electrolysis beforehand but got fed up as I had to keep going back. Now, I am very happy with this product. The first stylet bent with me but I got a hang of it with the second one. Replacement ones cost �6 for 2, so its not too expensive. And the fact it runs on batteries is even better. I use it on dial 10 as I have thick facial hair due to the shaving. It has left a few marks, like electrolysis did anyway. But I am happy with it and do recommend for you to buy a magnifying mirror and use two hands. One to stretch the skin and the other to use the machine. VERY GREAT PRODUCT!!! LOVE IT!!! XX
Excellent Machine

I have used the machine once a week for a total of two years. Not a single hair in sight now. My legs are silky and smooth and no hairs have grown back for 3 years. These results are not immediate. I used to shave and wax which only stregthened the hair folicle. So when I began using this machine,I used the highest amount of power which in turn left red dots (which looked like scars) on my legs. Once those disappeared, the hair grew back. I was persistant and kept on using the machine once a week cleaning off any hairs that did grow back and I would wait for 8 beeps to sound before removing any hairs. If the hairs would still be too tough to remove, I would not force them out but instead repeated the process until the root would weaken and the hair was ready to be removed. Yes the machine does work, however I would suggest to use a low number in case you don't want to see red dots but understand that it will not kill the hairs as quickly. My suggestion is use this machine in the winter. Kill the hairs and be consistant. Clean up anything that grows back immediately and you will see results. Understand that years of shaving and waxing has only stregthened the roots of the hair and treatment is not going to take place over night. The effort was all worth it now and I saved thousands of dollars. Silky, smooth legs are a woman's best friend. Thank you "Clean and Easy Electrolysis"

Works well if you follow directions. Discomfort is minimal and the hair-free results are worth it.
Perfect!!

I practiced inserting the needle into the hair folical a lot while reading the directions carefully before actually going through with it. let me tell you. Read the advice section...it helps so much! i am very satisfied. none have grown back so far. and i haven't had any scars yet. so i'm set. even though it takes a lot of concentration and feels gross when you prick the inside of the folical(it kind of hurts and isn't comfortable). i would suggest some sort of numbing cream or something. but it works! and that's all that matters!
Love it!

I love the thing and have recommended it to my sister and mother. You have to take your time with it and get a lighted maginfying mirror to help you. It doesn't hurt any worse than using tweezers. I have VERY sensitive skin and it has not left any permenant marks on my face unlike tweezing. I almost didn't buy it b/c of some of the other reviews but boy am I glad I did. It runs on a battery so you can take it anywhere. Start on a low setting and work your way up if you need to. You will love it don't be discouraged!! Go for it I did and have never been happier!!
