Clean + Easy Electrolysis Machine for Permanent Hair Removal - Non-Laser, Painless Electrolysis Hair Removal for Face & Body, At-Home Remover Device

Does not work. I tried to use this device, off and on, for about 3 weeks, and other than the 1st day I couldn't get it to actually work while it was in my skin / hair follicle. The instructions are 100% CRAP! There is ZERO mention of the sound that is makes when it is "active". ( Had to read other reviews to learn that. ) Instructions didn't say that I should touch the "window" with my other hand that ALSO was supposed to have salt water on it. ( Had to read the "Troubleshooting" guide here on Amazon to learn that tidbit. ) The unit I had, also would trigger / sound even when the dial was turned to the 0 setting. Which, to anyone with 2 brain cells, would indicate that the unit is OFF / won't function. LOL The "storage" for the cord ( under the tray ) is a huge pain in the butt to get the cord out of, and an even bigger pain to put back. I cannot fault the tips for being fragile, as that is just the nature of a device like this. However, the stylus that you hold seems to NOT make the connection when one is holding it. But if you touch the stylus to the "window", magically it makes its sound. Maybe it is my skin type, or maybe I am just an idiot, or maybe I just got a bad unit. Either way, it is not worth keeping. I was prepared to "go the distance" with it, and diligently work my way around the areas of my body that I wanted to do. But when it takes 20 minutes just to get a random "buzzing" sound, and it wasn't even in my skin.... just nope.

I first started out with laser treatments when I first noticed chin hair and was promised by the laser treatment company that the treatments will work. Unfortunately the laser treatments never worked, especially since there was a mixture of gray hairs. I fought to get a refund from the laser company and they admitted that only electrolysis would work for me. I moved to electrolysis and the treatments proved tremendous reduction in hairs and some areas with no new growths. It can take a long time to get appointments with electrologists and it can get very costly. Also hairs have to be a certain length and sometimes I have places to go and have to shave because I cannot get an appointment to remove my chin hairs. I do have a lot of scarring from the professional electrologist, but I am working on these scars. I decided to purchase this machine for my own convenience. I used the machine and it worked well just like my professional electrologist. It first needs practice and patience and to follow the instructions. Also, try to keep your hand steady. I love that it is light weight. I find that the tip of the machine itself should not be placed directly on the skin during operation if possible to prevent burns. All that is needed is the actual needle into the skin. It can be difficult to pinpoint some hairs, so I have a magnifying mirror. I think the machine is a great investment and will now save me money and time well spent.

This is good in theory but the product sucks. The needle came bent and it all just feels so cheap. I had to get extra needles for it then it was just too flimsy I couldn’t use it. The tweezers didn’t grab anything at all. It was probably the worst purchase I have made on Amazon.

I would give this a 2.5 but that isn’t an option. It kind of works, but not really. It may give me an extra day or two to go without plucking or shaving, but I have so much extra facial hair, I can’t really tell. If I had several hours a day to use this for a few weeks straight, I might be able to get ahead of things but I don’t. It does remove hair, but it takes a fair amount of time for each individual hair and when you have more than a few, it is very time consuming. It isn’t really painful, more annoying than anything. The concept is great but not when you have a decent amount of hair you wish to get rid of.

I have such a love-hate relationship with this product. The good: it's cheap and once you zap a hair it doesn't grow back. Now the bad: my main complaint is it just kind of stopped working. It worked reliably at first. Then it started cutting out sporadically, and working on-again off-again. Now it just seems like it's toast. No amount of wiggling or messing around seems to help anymore. The other main complaints are that it is tedious and slow and pretty uncomfortable. There are some other annoyances such as: the included tweezers are useless, the tip is super hard to disassemble if you need to replace the electrode, and if the electrode isn't perfectly straight it's nearly impossible to get it back into the tiny tip. I could live with that, though. Because it works well enough that I WANT to keep using it. But, I guess I burned it out or something. I just feel like if they put a little more thought or labor into it so that the design wasn't as cumbersome, and more importantly, the thing didn't just randomly quit after a couple of months, it would be a five star product. Now it's just kinda "meh".

So I got this to mostly to remove a uni-brow that's been bugging me for years. The good news is that it works, however you have to be extremely cautious specially around the face. One possible side effect of electrolysis is pitting of the skin (where it creates little craters that look like acne scars). I started with the 4 darkest hairs in my uni-brow and they all caused damage to the skin. Lucky because they were far enough from each other, my skin healed and closed the mini pits. I was freaking out for a few weeks though because they were very noticeable till they healed. With that said I'm having to wait a few months for it to completely heal before I go back for the rest so I don't risk pitting. Now the reason I think I damaged my skin is because of the product design. With this device you don't place the needle in, and then zap; it starts working as soon as it makes contact with the hair follicle. Meaning the product is always on. Because the needle is so thin, and you have to slide it in with the hair, it can be very hard to get the right angle. This is specially true if you're using a mirror or happen to have shaky hands at the time. The pen also has to be held a certain way to work which only makes it more difficult. I can imagine treating say leg hairs or even a bikini area as being far easier, but since the device's needle must go in with the hair, you got to be able to see it and this might mean getting magnifying glass stand. In all, if you have hair where you can't reach or even very dense hair areas, this is likely not a good choice of product. At the end of the day to make it work you'll need a lot of visibility, patience, and time. If you have that, then you can make this work.

It does work. Which was almost a surprise to me, as it is the only option for at home electrolysis and under $40. The other options are machines that are spa/professional and cost thousands. So huge gap in price. Yes, it hurts but I had professional electrolysis on my legs when in my late teens so expected it and for me is worth what I know the payoff to be - you will never see that hair again. So, regular bi-weekly/monthly pain at let’s say 3-4 for waxing/epilator/laser vs one time pain at 7 and never again. Also, electrolysis IS the only fda approved method for permanent hair removal for all hair/skin types and combos, which laser is Not. Electrolysis doesn’t care what’s the color of your skin and hair, it simply kills the root. You can get regrowth only if the root is not sufficiently damaged so do it right/long enough the first time to avoid having to do it again. All other hair is not regrowth, it’s just different hairs that grow in different cycles so you will have to do those when they come up. Read up on hair biology and cycles, know what to expect. Must follow instructions, regularly dampen your fingers and endure the pain long enough to kill the root. I put a shallow bowl of water and salt near, dip my fingers and then briefly touch on a paper towel. A BRIGHTLY LIGHTED magnifying glass or mirror (depending on if you are doing body or face) is a must. You need to see what you are doing. Insertion of the tip doesn’t hurt, it’s way thinner than a needle; the electric current that activates automatically when inserted hurts. My pain tolerance is relatively high so I personally prefer higher intensity on the dial for shorter time, so for me most hairs will be ‘cooked’ in 5-10 seconds vs the lower intensity for 15+ seconds. Still, each hair is different and some have stronger roots than others and can take longer. The hair root is ‘cooked’ only when you can easily slide out the hair. Not pull, pluck, etc., just slide out gently without resistance. Their tweezers suck btw, use your own. To note: during operation, there is a tiny bead of milky liquid that can form at the insertion point. That’s perfectly normal, gently wipe it off the tip before doing the next hair. Cons: the loud buzzer sound it makes, I wish I could turn it off. Improvements would be: buzzer off option, button activation vs automatic, better cable management and better materials and case overall, shorter ‘pen’ (sometimes you need to get closer to see and the pen is in the way), plug in option (as is, it uses 1 9V battery which is Not included). I would gladly pay double for a product with those features. Still, 5 stars because it does work and the only alternatives are in the thousands of dollars. Wouldn’t recommend for those that want to do areas that are difficult to get close to either with a mirror or magnifying glass - you need to see clearly where you are inserting the tip to be effective. TIP- if your tap water is hard, use distilled water for the salt-water mix. I was wondering why the skin on my fingers was getting stained rusty brown and thought it may be from the water minerals/impurities oxidizing. Tried it with distilled water and no stained fingers!

I purchased this about a month ago and just got it yesterday. I tried it out and there was no sound that determines contact as it should. I called the number on the instruction book and it actually took me to a Walmart customer care line?? I tried several batteries and did the tongue test, some were weak and the majority of batteries were good. I found the hair follicle insertion part very easy and did not have an issue just no contact noise and no hair coming out. I am waiting 48 hours as stated and will try again, if it does nothing, I will return.

When i put the needle on the metal plate it makes bee sond but when i put it on skin or in hair it do not beeb at all i try changing the salt and water constraint but it still doesn’t work.very disappointed and they will not return it or replace it

It’s not worth the money.

Using this product is hard, slow and painful. Also it leaves dark spots at the site of use. Better buy some laser epilator. Don't waste your money on this product.

I am writing to express my concern regarding the Clean + Easy Electrolysis Device (Order ID: [Insert your order ID]) that I received this morning. While I appreciate the care taken in packing the shipment, I was shocked to find the following issues upon opening the outer packaging: The product box was not sealed as new; it appeared opened. The box looked very old, almost as if it had been used before. Stickers on the box were covered by other empty stickers, giving the impression that the item was resold. Regarding the device itself, I cannot confirm if it is functioning properly at this time, as the needle seems almost gone.

It's no good. I put a battery in it and it doesn't work, I wasted money on a good product that was thrown away
