Electrolysis alternative at home???

[val4]

I have chin and neck stray hairs , which I usually keep under control with electrolysis at a skin clinic. Obviously cant at moment so just wondering if anyone knows of a similar type home solution? I don't want to pluck ( but v tempted) as don't want to go back to Square one when salon is open again. Any ideas for home treatment??

Don’t buy that op , obvious fake reviews.

[lilgreen]

I don’t have one but have heard that they’re good but pricey. I use an epiwand. Super cheap and effective .

Are there fake reviews on Amazon Fezak IPL machine , Toothfairy? Thought it looked v convincing but obviously dont want to invest if all reviews fake?

[GrumpyHoonMain]

The company selling it is based in China and has exactly 1 seller review. Those reviews are definitely fake. Legitimate goods / chinese companies often have thousands of reviews.

Looking at the epiwand lilgreen.......is it same concept as plucking? Dont want to coursen hair on my neck. It is only a stray few at this stage, as getting electrolysis for years.

[lilgreen]

Yes it plucks but better at getting short hairs so you don’t have to wait for hairs to grow long like with waxing.

[lilgreen]

Plucking doesn’t coarsen hair does it?

[AnnaMagnani]

Lumea is your only option - however it works best on dark hair on light skin.

If that doesn't describe you, you are back to plucking until beauticians open again.

Plucking doesn't coarsen hair.

I was told by my beauty therapist/ electrologist , not to wax or pluck the hair between sessions as it undos all her work! She said to trim them if I must but no plucking or waxing. I have tried trimming them but I think they still look obvious and dont know when they'll be open again.

[lilgreen]

If it’s just a few I’d pluck!

[Oblomov20]

Don't pluck. Whatever you do. Your'll undo all your hard electrolysis work.

[ToothFairyNemesis]

Reviews are fake, you can tell because all done round the same date , and hardly any.

[lilgreen]

Surely she can pluck and let them grow out when she knows she has an electrolysis appointment booked in a few weeks.
