A male friend of mine said he used this with great success, and stated that improper use was a likely reason for the bad reviews.
I was somewhat convinced, however after many hours of research I decided the product was not worth my money or time.
Oh, and before you go looking at home laser weapons hair removal, I have researched those as well and they are not worth it.
Actually, the real laser devices do work (I think there is a couple), but the grand majority of home "laser" devices are nothing more than a high-tensity flash bulb.
