I have never heard of it and normally "home systems" are usually far too ineffective to get desired results.  I would recommend not getting it, but if you decide to "experiment", I would be interested in hearing about the results.

I know several girls who bought this device against the recommendations of non partisan reviews.  Initially they were reporting it was working quite well.  It's now been several months and every one of them are either having or talking about having professional treatment.  The product is now sitting on their shelves collecting dust.

The only home machine I have heard that will work for touch up is the One Touch Deluxe Home Electrolysis.   I used one for a while and it helps if you are doing HRT or you will get regrowth. It is a very slow and tedious process but it is the only one I would reccomend. They are cheaply built and there are ideas on the internet to rebuild it with Radio Shack parts and make it more sturdy.

Nothing compares to a professional Electrolysis system though and an experienced Tech. I start going to E2000 in February or March of next year.
