I give this product five stars because it really works. This may not work consistently or easily for many users as electrolysis is actually quite complex. That's why there are professionals who do it full-time. This product uses galvanic electrolysis. There are two other types that professional users and devices can make. However, if people are patient and follow good technique, they will eventually get good results. And electrolysis is the ONLY permanent hair removal method you can do yourself. Anything else, as easy and painless as it may be, is just a temporary fix. Therefore, a product should not be judged by the difficulty of its application, but by the durability of the results. Hair grows in three phases. Electrolysis works best only in the initial stages of cultivation, and sometimes at an intermediate stage. In the last, dormant phase, this won't work because the root that electrolysis kills isn't active. An easy way to ensure you only spend time on hair during the growth phase is to shave the area and wait a few days. Standing hair grows back. It makes sense to carry out electrolysis only on terminal hair. It's dark, coarse hair. Vellus hair, light and thin, is not entirely compatible with electrolysis because the holes from which it grows are as small as the hair itself and it is not very easy to thread the needle all the way through. There is also a risk of scarring. So don't freak out. Just focus on the terminal hairs. Electrolysis kills the hair roots through a combination of heat and a caustic alkali-like substance created by contact of an electrical charge with biological cells. Is that the white nasty stuff people complain about? this"lye". Do not dry it or pluck the hair immediately. You want to let them soak for a while and die. I treat my hair and then go brush my teeth or water the plants before plucking my hair. The "slit" takes several minutes to kill the hair root. You actually have to touch the entire root area and sides at the base of the follicle to kill it. The root of the hair looks like an elongated sheath, not a small dot. If a cell survives, it regenerates from the surviving cells. It's a good idea to dip the needle in and out very, very gently, or wiggle it slightly from side to side and work through the hair. This increases the contact area of the electricity and increases the likelihood of destroying the entire root. This is better than holding the needle very still. Once you've killed the root, the hair slips out without pulling and looks almost "greasy". If you need strength to pull it out, it's not dead and you should leave the hair on, wait a few days and try again. As you can see from my comments, this is quite a complicated process and the odds are against it. You need to hit the root perfectly, kill the entire root zone and get it in the early stages of growth. I think electrolysis only works really well for tackling some "crazy" hairs growing in weird places. Not suitable for clearing large areas. This requires concentration and precision. And a little bit more luck. I had half a dozen weird hairs and used this product to kill them and get rid of them permanently. For that I consider him invaluable. But if you're using it to clean large areas, it's likely to be a source of frustration. Even for professionals with professional equipment and years of experience, clearing large areas takes months and months of painstaking work.
