The Sharper Image LED Home Electrolysis KitThe LED Home Electrolysis Kit
Permanent solution
This product reduces hair growth over time as the follicles die, and the hair can't grow back. A single unit is usually $139.99; however, at the time of this review the product was on sale for $111.99 if you used the coupon code on the website. The device operates on two AAA batteries, which are included with the purchase.
Painless for all skin areas
The electrolysis process is a painless, safe treatment for all skin tones and hair types, and comes with two operating modes: Face Mode and Body Mode. The kit includes a small roller tip for facial hair and eyebrows, a large roller tip for upper lip, bikini line, and other body hair, and three self-adhesive gel pads (small, large, and upper lip) for treating larger areas such as arms, legs, and underarms. Additionally, the kit comes with treatment tweezers for removing single hairs, LED lights to indicate progress, automatic safety shut off, 3 oz. of conductive gel and 3 oz. of a cleanser meant to be used prior to your treatment, and extra conductive gel can be purchased separately. Sharper Image also provides you with a zipper case for storage.
Regular use required for results
To ensure effective results, Sharper Image recommends the regular use of the device. With consistent daily use, you can expect to see results in about 60 days. The electrolysis process is painless, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin. However, since it takes time for the process to work, users may need to use other hair removal methods while waiting for the under-the-surface process to take effect.
Limited return policy if you open the product
We didn't love the return policy with Sharper Image. The company does not accept returns on used or opened Personal Care products, so if you don't like the LED Home Electrolysis Kit, you won't be able to get your $100+ back. On the bright side, the retailer has a reputation for excellent customer satisfaction, and if you want to return the product unopened, you are able to do so within 60 days of purchase.
Not a lot of reviews yet
The product is only consistently sold on the Sharper Image website where the LED Home Electrolysis Kit has a 4.1 out of 5-star rating. Unfortunately Sharper Image is not accredited by the BBB and had an "F” rating at the time of this review. There are just over 100 reviews of the Electrolysis Kit, and the 5-star reviews noted that the unit was easy to use, that it was comfortable to hold, and that users saw results within 4 weeks of regular use. Some of the users didn't like that you need to use the gel provided in the kit along with electrolysis in order to achieve results - they found it messy and less intuitive.
Good pain-free option, but no returns
Sharper Image LED Home Electrolysis Kit offers a pain-free and portable solution for professional-grade hair removal at home. It uses a galvanic current to target hair follicles and comes with various tips, gel pads, and accessories for different body areas. While the product is priced affordably at $111.99, it is a non-returnable personal care item, and regular use is necessary for effective results. Although some users found the required gel messy and less convenient, many users saw results within 4 weeks of regular use. For the price, it might be worth checking out, but if you're worried about making returns, this might not be the best option for you.
