lagirl - hi! it's been a while since I've been back. kids at school & all kinds of activities prevent me from going online as often as I'd like. anyway, $500 seems quite a bit to pay for hair removal for a small area. i've read in other forums that even with electrolysis, hair can still grow back, and with a vengeance. so, i'm quite hesitant abt trying it. plus my pain threshold is very low. what about those home electrolysis kits? do you think those actually work? so far, i am very happy with my epicare. however, time for me to replace it and get a new one soon.

hair doesn't grow back after proper electrolysis. I had my upper lip treated for under $300 total over a year ago and it's absolutely permanent. if any hair grows in in a few years, it will be NEW hair that would have grown in regardless because your body developed it with age. $500 is an estimate on the higher end of things. I don't know how much hair you have. personally, I don't think $300 is a lot of money to pay for never having any hair there and dealing with it ever again. Just add up $10-20 waxing treatments over the coarse of two years.

no, home electrolysis kits don't work. only professional electrolysis machines.

I still haven't gotten the Epicare yet, but am thinking about it quite a bit. For those who have used it, have you had good results? How often do you have to use it, and does the hair become more coarse or anything? Please let me know. Thanks!

i see lagirl's post here was last year but $300 for ur upperlip?? Did u only have to have 6 hrs or less or did u have a super cheap connection?

I have bought a hair removal tool from Epicare http://www.thinkbeauty.co.uk/epicare.html and it works fantastic. The service was great and communication is excellent. They even offer a 7 day money back guarantee if you are not 100% satisfied.

Please ignore Janie, this is most likely a poor attempt at promoting a product.

I will give Janie01 this much. At least this product is in fact a plucking type device and is not claiming to be permanent, so I think I will allow this one to slip through. It is at least on topic.

Using any product like this that pulls out facial hair, is the same as waxing, tweezing, sugaring and threading. It is NOT recommended for temporary removal of facial hair. The face is a hormonally controlled area and the hair is most likely to become stronger and thicker after repeated treatments over a period of time. Bad idea.
