Everyone wants to know, does it work?  It was hard to find an answer from anyone that actually used the product, I ended up going for it.  I'm very lazy about using it, for instance i usually zap about 15 hairs twice a week at my own leisure, and after a few months I can see an undeniable reduction in hair growth in the area im treating.  All product info I read prior to buying it seemed to be true and accurate.  It's not fast, fun, or easy, but it does work.   I have pale skin and dark hair, it does leave red dots everywhere i zap that last a few days, on me, which the guide says will happen with some people, however no one has ever commented on it, looks about like razor burn.  I hope this helps, and good luck.
