I used one of these on my face weekly for years and it didn’t even slow the hair growth down. Everyone kept telling me that constant plucking/epilation/waxing would destroy the hair follicles eventually but it fucking didn’t, if anything it made me grow more and even thicker hairs.
And epilatiing won’t even end up that smooth either as it will break off random hairs instead of plucking them and then miss those hairs during next passes over as they’re too short.
If you can take the pain, electrolysis is the most effective (and most permenant!) way to remove hair.

Yup that’s kinda what happened to me too. I had dark brown hair as a young kid, it really suited my colouring, then bam, traumatic shit starts happening and I lose a whole bunch of pigment.
And to add insult to injury, I didn’t even get that badass looking ‘hair turned completely white from fear’, just this ugly and weirdly warm blondy looking colour that makes me look all washed out and kinda jaundiced.
Oh and then when the facial hair started growing in, every other one of those gross thick hairs was unpigmented and clear, and every other hair between those clear hairs was pitch black, because fuck me right? Lmao.
Damn, that sucks! I’m sorry. At least if half the facial hair is thick and black, you can get that with laser, which will probably still be quicker and cheaper than electrolysis, but I appreciate that’s only really a bright side after the fact and not before the fact.
Ah sorry, it’s been a weird day so far and I was just letting off steam by ranting about unrelated shit. None of that is really stuff that bothers me much any more and I’ve had tonnes of electrolysis over the years which got most of the facial hair, so I’m good in that regard too.
Thankies for the compliment, cat emoticons are the best /ᐠ > ˕ <マ ₊˚⊹♡
yeah hairs on the face are different than body hairs. they dont respond to damage from pulling in the same way, as you learned the hard way. epilating is supposed to eventually reduce leg hair but it seems to take quite a long time. ive been doing kind of a combo of laser and epilating on my legs. ill laser it when it grows, then epilate like a week later. it probably doesn’t help much. mostly i just hate waiting for it to shed.

Also the most painful and most expensive.

Also, I like your display name.

No worries! Feel free to rant away!
