Thomas sent me the following letter in March:

"Dear Andrea; I bought a finally free ultra, and it does nothing for me. As far as I can tell, it is identical to plucking. The website for the product makes several false claims, including stating that after treatment the hair will glide out of the follicle, which I have not found to be true at all. Thanks"

Sorry to hear you got ripped off, Thomas, and thanks for alerting others!

Hi,

I just came by this site recently and I'd like to say first thanks to all the people who put this up [Smile] it's great and very helpful.

I saw this site today too http://www.nevershaveagain.com/info.aspx regarding the product "Finally Free" it says: "Finally Free uses a unique, patented hair removal process, that sends a painless radio frequency wave through the hair, deadening the hair at the root. After a few applications, the hairs are gone for good and will NOT grow back.
"

So has anyone ever used this and had it work for them?

Ops I apologize, I just read some of the other threads regarding this "Finally Free" but just incase, does the radio frequencies do nothing at all to the hair follicles?

Do any of these electric or radio frequency tweezers cause any hair reduction? or thinning and shrinking in size?

Radio frequency can only effect permanent hair removal if a fine wire probe is inserted into the skin and the fm frequency is directed to cause vibrations to create heat energy sufficient to make a temperature of 127 Degrees F. for a second or less. Tweezers obviously won't do this because what ever radio waves it does make are dispelled into the atmosphere.

Radio frequency tweezers never work, and Galvanic tweezers can only make it easier to tweeze out your hairs, while no permanent hair removal takes place.

They are very good at keeping consumers from getting money back by making it not worth your time for the amount of money involved.

A number of factors affect regrowth time, including the area and your age. We ask people to provide more information than you have in order to make their reports more credible.

hi andrea

i just realised that i used a very intense halegon light bulb at close range to see what hairs i was plunking with finally free.

Do you think ths may have an affect like a flashlamp perhaps as the halegon light bulb was soo intense at close range??

All electronic tweezers are classified by the FDA as "Quackery!" I was in USA Federal Court for 11 years proving they do not do anything but tweeze hair. FTC agreed with the FDA!

If your wish to understand why hair did not regrow, study the site: ElectrolysisInformation.com Sometimes simple tweezing will remove a hair "follicle"! Don't give credit to the useless machine.

Wasn't it time consuming to remove the hair with Finally free?
Do you feel that you're lucky that it worked for you bc i read a lot of comments saying that Finally Free did not work for them.

Did you respond to them within 30 days of purchasing Finally Free?

How many of your members have actually used the Finally Free device? I recently located it on-line & was thinking of ordering it when I stumbled upon your website. I would like to hear from both satisfied and dissatisfied customers so that I can make a more informed decision. If it truely does not work, what will????? Thanks for any replys!

This question is asked weekly,or at least it feels like it.Please read all the posts above yours.

Bottom line is: electronic tweezers do not work. Save your money. Put your effort, time and money into professional electrolysis of laser, depending on your needs. That's what works if you want permanent hair removal/reduction.

Visit http://www.hairfacts.com and you will see all kinds of useful information. Specifically, type in Finally Free in the search box and see what pops up. Here are some examples to start you off:

Duh, yeah, but does it work? Or are you just an electrolysis professional protecting your turf trying to misinform the public?
(that is a joke folks)
