Hair Removal – Overview

Posts Tagged ‘laser-hair’

Recently, manufacturers of beauty products started advertising hair removal pads that gently caress the skin. In various infomercials, they have claimed that these mittens can remove the hair painlessly, allowing legs to become silky smooth.

In a nutshell, pads provide pain-free hair removal, but don’t expect them to ever replace other essential shavers or epilators.

There are about two brands of pads that are currently the most popular. The most reputable one, the Smooth Away hair removal pad, contains what the company calls “superfine” crystals. These tiny crystals lightly rub off hair from the follicles.

Technically, it works in a manner similar to sandpaper. By rubbing the rough surface with very little pressure, the pads removes the hair from the legs and other areas where hair growth is relatively thin.

The Smooth Away mitten will not provide consistent results on the bikini line or the underarms. Women will have to take several passes to remove the hair from these areas. In fact, one reviewer reported that the shaving was more suitable for these areas, because of the extra effort required to rub these hairs off.

Despite the problems of these micro-crystal mitts, they make for somewhat effective tools. A stroke with a Smooth Away can exfoliate dull, flaky skin from the body. Women should try not to rub too vigorously. Putting too much pressure on the skin could cause it to redden quickly.

Still, most women are probably buying this product to remove the darker, coarse hairs from their legs. For most women, Smooth Away is a mediocre solution. Most customers criticized this product because it didn’t remove their hair. In fact, many people stated that the mitts only exfoliated the skin. They were only able to remove the hair after showering their legs.

The Smooth Away kit also comes with a mini mitt to remove facial hair. This tool can get rid of nasty peach fuzz hair very easily, but it probably cannot remove the thicker hairs that women want to remove. This is a very disconcerting product that raises women’s hopes, only to disappoint them when they actually try them out.

There are also other brands of mitts for customers to test, such as the Trademark Ultra Smooth hair removal and exfoliating system. Unfortunately, these mitts are also ineffective products. As often as women try to buff off the hairs with the pads, Trademark is just as unreliable as the Smooth Away.

Although this is ultimately a rip-off item, most mitt kits only cost about $5 each. Thus, women probably will not have to break the bank to purchase these simple mitts. Unfortunately, this product probably will not keep women happy unless someone finds a miraculous way to make the system produce more substantial results. If anything, the Smooth Away and the Trademark Ultra Smooth mitts are trendy novelty items that will go out of style in a few years or so.

Hair removal products comes in all different types of machinery or products. However, very few of them use the method by which the Verseo ePen removes hair.

The Verseo ePen uses electrolysis technology to remove the hair from people’s skin, with somewhat mixed results.

As far as I’ve seen, the ePen is one of the most inexpensive electrolysis-style machines on sale. It only costs about $58. It operates in the same manner as an electrolysis treatment.

The person must first apply the conductive gel onto the area of skin that they want to remove the hair from. The gel helps the electrical current of the machine to reach the root of the hair follicle. The person can then apply the ePen onto the area. The electricity will damage the hair’s root, permanently keeping the hair from growing again.

After a person treats the area with the pen, he or she can use a tweezer pluck the hair out of the follicle. The person could also rub the hair off with his or her hands. The person the repeats the process for all the other hairs that he or she wants to remove. If the person is trying to treat a large area, such as the legs, then he or she can use the conductive body pads provided in the package.

The ePen is painless when compared to other methods of electrolysis. Although it may take a few presses with the ePen to remove the hair, it doesn’t cause any significant pain. This is a good solution for people who are looking for an inexpensive way to remove their hair permanently.

Although the ePen is very reasonably priced, the quality of the product isn’t quite up to par. The ePen isn’t suitable for people who want quick results. The entire process requires people to follow the directions exactly without taking shortcuts. For many people who purchased the product, this entire procedure took too long for their liking.

To make matters worse, the ePen doesn’t always work when people want it to work. Customers often complained that they have to use the pen numerous times just to remove some of the hair from their skin. In many cases, the ePen procedure is a hit-or-miss process. Even though it is painless, it probably takes more time than is really needed from an electrolysis machine.

Perhaps Verseo ran out of money to develop decent equipment parts in the ePen. Whatever the case, the ePen simply isn’t worth the $58 that people pay to buy it. If anyone really needs a more permanent solution, they can just purchase an epilator to uproot the hairs mechanically. The ePen is a time-wasting product that Verseo should have fixed before they started selling it.
