I've never used it, only read reviews which say it burns the hair off and is not comfortable...I also saw one of their commercials where a young woman is using it on one side of her face and you can see it turning pink/reddish so I would think it's not such a good idea....if I'm wrong I hope there are other reviews, I wouldn't buy it for myself though. I use a razor for chin hairs.

It doesn't sound like something I would try. I'd try professional laser treatment removal myself.

So far I've done all right with just a cheap throwaway razor. I ignore what's under my chin and the rest of the down on my throat.

Hair removal takes ages and is expensive -- well, last I checked.

I have a hair removal tool I bought at Marshall's. You don't want laser.

PK, no experience, but have you read the reviews on that product on Amazon? They aren't very good. Now, I understand someone unhappy is more likely to vent their displeasure than someone who buys a products and find it works out for them...but these reviews are pretty bad, 5 negative written for each positive

Hair is a poor conductor of heat. If it is a true laser, it requires pigment in the hair to work. Grey /white and blonde hair will not be affected by lasers. Threading or waxing or plucking are effective means of grey/white hair removal. Each time, the root is slightly traumatized, resulting in a thinner hair produced.

I have a love/hate relationship with an "Epilator"....tweezer type shaver. I've had it 10-15 years....I believe it "works....sorta". (I've been thinking of replacing it) It does not pull out those wiry things under my chin...on my neck. I believe it does a good job on the tiny thin ones elsewhere and for a long time. That peach fuzz....if I use a elec. razor...NOT often if ever, I have to be really desperate....it is right back....the "epi", used less frequently keeps it at bay. Those wiry gray things can grow 2 inches overnight (it seems) and I have had the same "patch" plus an occasional wild one, for 30 years, so I am inclined to believe that the "epi" has been useful in keeping them from flourishing and spreading. Mine came from QVC....they recently had one and I'm once again seriously thinking about replacing what have.

Thank you so much everyone for your comments! I was beginning to feel like a mutant! It is the peach fuzz with the occasional wild hair that seems to grow from my eyebrows too. I've been using a facial hair trimmer but doing that, the fuzz seems to be getting thicker and I hear an old 'tape' from my mom about shaving making hair thicker.

I did look at the reviews, after I read your comments. No idea why I asked before looking at that! The laser DIY kits are about the same expense as the silly No No.

Professional laser treatments cost thousands of dollars and I frankly cannot even entertain that thought, not enough disposable income.

Hubby tells me to pull my hair back completely and pin it down so it doesn't 'float' into the wax. That's probably good advice.

I really dislike using stuff on my face, I have acne prone skin at 58. I am an Ivory girl, only thing besides pure glycerine that does not break me out.

Sorry if this comment makes you wretch, but it sucks to have sensitive skin and facial hair :-)

The Nono hair removal tool is not a laser. It uses a heated wire that is just above the skin to burn the hair. There is a smell of burned hair. According to tests done by Consumer Reports, it is slow and leaves a stubble. Shaving is faster and (My comment: The shaving lather plus after shave helps to clean the skin and reduce small infections.) See link below.

[My comment: I have not determined the power source. It appears to be battery powered, and as such, it can not pack a very long burn time before needing recharging. Maintaining a hot wire takes considerable energy. I'm guessing the run time would be similar to an old style flash light using an incandescent bulb, but with batteries sized as in the Nono unit.]

Thanks Jemdandy! After I posted the question here, and Pekemom replied that it burned the hair I did a 'Google' search and did then realize that it was not a laser, as I initially believed it to be. I then read some reviews on some of the laser DIY units.

I appreciate your clarification!

i've considered getting it but haven't. I also use my disposable razors and my 1985 electric shaver.

Shaving DOES NOT MAKE THE HAIR GROW BACK THICKER or coarser. That's an absolute myth.

But the stubbles can both feel and appear that way, especially if you have dark, coarse hair in the first place.

I'm a razor user, doing so in the shower. I've never tried an epilator or threading device, so I can't speak to their efficacy. Seems a whole lot safer than waxes, chemical treatments, or lasers.

I like the Nono commercials! Everyone is so happy! :0)

Then I read reviews,,,,,naw.....razor, wax strips and plucking.

i'm a razor user too. Works very well for me, and saves lots of money.

I have a "Yes" its like the "nono", which is NOT a laser either. Just a shaver like the bikini touch but wider. My yes works good, I paid $10 at the flea market.

I probably should have added I use 'dry razor' and every few days or weeks -- like Yayagal. Quick. Cheap. Just pluck a few 'tough guys' on my chinny-chin-chin. (IF I can SEE them, that is!)

Actually, I think I'm still using up a giant pack of disposable razors that I no longer need because I have no hair on my legs anymore. What a weird thing it is to grow old.

I use an electric razor and pluck the occasional thicker hairs that pop up.

Chisue - I have no leg or underarm hair either. Stopped shaving legs completely around age fifty and underarms a couple years later. One of the few benefits of getting old. ;-)

watchme, I wish I could say the same thing...I'm 54 and as hairy as ever!

I've been using my razor for my peach fuzz every couple of weeks in the shower...so far, so good.
