Might Remove Hair But.. Burns Thumbs
I really wanted this product to work, but it ended up burning my thumbs! I have gone to a professional electrologist and I understand that electrology works but is not a fast process or a quick fix. I wanted to take care of a few stray hairs and do my legs myself. All of my observations were made on the body setting, not on the lower powered face setting. I followed the directions to the letter. There is no tingling at the point of treatment if you use the conducting gel. The challenge I found is that I was getting painful burns on my thumbs. It took me awhile to figure out what was going on...but here goes. Electricity runs in a circuit, "circle." The way electrology zaps hairs is by entering your body, moving through the hair folicles, through the skin and back into the E-glide through the hand. At the point of re-entery, my thumbs, there were nasty holes being burned into my flesh as I used the device. Why always my thumbs and not my fingers? Electricity takes the shortest path and my thumb is shorter than any of my fingers. I kept changing hands and hand positions and where ever and how ever I held it I kept getting burned. The rub is that you must complete the circuit with your body or electrology won't work, so wearing a glove or a non-conductor would be a waste of time. I ended up returning the product. It is a lovely idea. I hope they get this glitch fixed.
