One of the experts will know better but I’ll answer since you said you’re about to buy it. As far as I know, no device can remove hair without actually being inserted into the follicle like traditional electrolysis.
You need an actual probe instead of tweezers. Electric tweezers do not work. You can get a REAL professional machine for less than the cost of this scam machine. There is literally no reason on the planet to buy this under (except maybe as a joke).
If you want to try electrolysis at home, the cheapest option would be to buy a OneTouch machine. Don’t waste your money on anything else.
OneTouch is hard to work with, but it genuinely does work (it’s between $9 and $20 on ebay). If you have the patience to practice with the OneTouch until you’re good at it, you can then consider investing in a $500 machine (like I did) if you have lots of areas to treat.
If you only have small areas to treat, then a OneTouch is fine by itself (or better yet, just go see a pro).
The HairTell mantra: If an electrolysis machine uses tweezers (instead of a needle) it is a scam. I will say it is a rather impressive, or at least unusual, design. Look at those huge tweezers, and coax cable it is attached with! Also of note is the box with a partly visible name with “atron” in it; it is probably a name to confuse folks with “Instantron”.
(Even if they did work, you can buy a similar device on eBay for less. That ‘professional’ RFD unit that showed up on eBay a while back comes to mind.)

oh thank you magicalprincesskitty, that sounds like a good idea. I do have the patience i just want something that does work. and i majorly need it for large areas which one is the one you use?
I bought an instantron elite from someone from these forums. You can check the “legitimate electrolysis machines on ebay” thread up in the sticky section and see what’s available in your price range. I recommend getting real electrolysis first a little bit so you know what it should feel like, and then get a buddy in your area to help you with treatment if you live near anyone who wants to have DIY electrolysis.
Whatever you end up buying, start with galvanic style treatment. It’s slower, but more forgiving of errors for someone who is learning. The OneTouch machine is DEFINITELY a cheap way to try it out before committing to a professional machine. Even if you only use it once, it’s worth the 20 bucks just to make sure you can do it. And whatever you end up buying, it must have probes (needles that you stick all the way down into the follicle to deliver the energy). That’s the only real way to kill the hair permanently.
Also, buy the electrolysis manual by Bono (It is called The Blend Method) because it will really help you get permanent results with all it’s hints and tips and illustrations.
thank you so much. I will surely listen to your advice and get the onetouch. thank god this works and is cheap, because i was going to waste 800 on the tweezers. if it wasn’t for this forum and you guys i wouldve been scam.
thank you all.
ill let u know how the onetouch works out.
Just be warned, it’s a total pain to use and way slower than anything professional. This is just to see if you have the patience (and steady hands) for self electrolysis. I don’t recommend it for large areas.
So don’t feel bad when after an hour of work you’ve only killed 20 hairs and you are ready to throw the machine across the room.
Just out of curiosity, how large are those one touch probes, compared to a regular electrolysis needle (eg. are they larger than a size 6 ballet one piece? Twice the size of a size 4? etc.)
Vickie: I dunno specifically because they vary by the year they are made. Mine are all bigger than the size 3 probes I bought and the replacement probes are bigger than the original manufacturer’s probe.
The actual problem is that they are on a spring, so if there is a tight fit into a follicle, the probes just retract. So it’s not that they are too big to fit in the follicles per se, it’s just that they will only slide into follicles that are much bigger than them (big enough to not give any resistance) because the spring is so sensitive. Once I took the spring out of the equation, I was able to fit them into the same follicles I can fit the 3’s into, though it was not quite as easy.
