Interesting. They might be selling it not as a permanent hair removal device, but as a way to just "painlessly" tweeze hair (temporarily removing it.)

Of course, electric tweezers are a scam for permanent hair removal, I doubt it would do nothing to make it easier or "painless" to tweeze out hair either; after all, if it worked, why not soup it up and shoot for permanent removal?

The One Touch home electrolysis unit is based on galvanic electrolysis, and can actually work. But, the units are not easy to use, and don't last long. And that probe it uses is huge and only comes in one size, and replacements are expensive. It is hard enough to do home electro with a machine that costs a few thousand dollars (new), and can needles of various size; trust me I know crazy

this is the link for the one touch tweezer:

Now class, remember, the corporate mission is to give an increasing return on investor dollars. All the product has to do is sell well. Radio Frequency tweezer devices don't even make the plucking part easier. At least the galvanic tweezer devices make the plucking of the hair less painful. Radio Frequency doesn't do anything unless it is effected with a probe inside the follicle.

They have to rely on people's wishing for something of a miricle, while doing zero studying into how this could work. Thermolysis only works for permanent hair removal because the radio frequency comes off the probe, inside the follicle, causing the moisture in the follicle to vibrate, heat up, and change from liquid to vapor in an instant, and the vapor shoots up and out of the follicle. This process quickly flash cooks the proteins inside the follicle and allows the full bulb system to be easily lifted out of the follicle. The body caluses over the interior, and you never grow hair in that follicle again. Now how is touching a radio frequency tweezer to a hair and holding it above the skin going to do what I just explained? You don't get better television reception by having a long haired girl touch her hair to the TV antenna, that can only happen with contact with something that conducts a signal, and alas, hair does not. It is an insulator.

The marketing department surveys said that there are many people who don't want to pay for real pro treatments, but are also not willing to learn how to do anything that works. They are also looking to spend money, and the company is going to do all it can to soak up as much of that cash as they can.
