Hi, Ladies -

I am curious to know if anyone here has used the
"no!no! Hair" hair removal System - whether you have tried it yourself or know someone who has?
I've seen the infomercial and checked out their web site, but reviews from "the real world" - uhm, that would be you! - means a whole lot more.
Good, bad, or indifferent . . . what are your thoughts and/or experiences with this system?
Thank you!
- SL

I have chatted with someone that was thinking of trying it. But I do not remember who that was. I personally use an eppilator. They say hair removal that lasts but do not define "lasts". From the video it looks like they are frying the hair top down to give you a temporary hair free smooth skin. Better than a quick pass of a torch and looks like safer.
One thing they have:
"The more you use it, the more results you get.
Every time you use it, less and less hair grows
back and you see more and more results."
Results sound similar to the eppilator. It would be nice to have a first hand review of it that is for sure.
Good luck if you try it.

The name of this system tells you everything you need to understand before you ever open your wallet: no, no, no, NO.

I suggest reading through this review and at least the first 50 comments.

From what I gather, it works for some and for others it does not, and it is quite time consuming because after the hair is burned off

one is also supposed to use a buffer pad (not mentioned in the adverts

) that comes with the kit to sand off the crystallized hair/stubble.

I too saw the ads like SilverLady, I am glad I stumbled on this chat. I think I will not get investing in it. It is a lot more expenseive than I thought it would be.

I was wondering if all it did was burn the hair. Heck a BBQ can do that for you a whole lot quicker

How about just running your furry parts across the fire in your fireplace or your stove?

The best way to get started removing larger areas of dark, coarse hair is laser hair removal. It's often expensive, but a good way to start small and cheap is to check Groupon for weekly specials in your area. Treat just your arms or legs and the price should stay reasonable. If you have lighter skin, an Alexandrite laser is best. If you have darker skin, an nd:Yag laser is more appropriate.

As I am a natural blonde, laser is no good for me, if I were to go full time I would have to opt for Electrolysis.
One good thing is that only my face needs it.

Nope!
Carbon black cannot reach the roots, which is where the laser must reach to be effective.

I saw the infomercials on No No. I decided (rather quickly) against it. Besides having to smell burned hair, this does not kill the root, and consequently the hair will grow back.
I'm more inclined to find out if anyone's used the Tria Laser, as it looks rather promising, albeit only for darker hair. I thought if I could find someone locally to share the expense, it might be worth it.
But probably the best course of action, for me, is to bite the bullet and pay for professional treatments, whether laser or electrolysis.
Of course, this is all predicated on my SO's approval. She and I had a discussion about it a long time ago. The outcome was not positive. Hmm, maybe it's time to revisit that topic.

so I'm a bit confused about all this. I see advertisements for laser hair removal, laser hair restoration, laser skin rejuvenation, laser cancer treatment, and even laser encoding of data on plastic media.
so if I believe all this, then a laser can solve all my problems, and probably even find me a girlfriend-
is it just me, or are there a lot of really crazy claims being made? it seems like if somebody says "laser treatment" then everyone is supposed to believe it.

I always associate laser treatment with the immortal line "no Mr Bond, I expect you to die."

If Bond was cut in half, I suspect a girl would have been the least of his worries. Hype... yes... there is a lot of hype, so sad as it may seem, some of the hype can be resolved by the odd studies and regulatory organizations your taxes pay for. For example, laser hair removal has yet to be called permanent by the FDA. it does pretty good for quite a long time, but isn't permanent since a long time isn't forever. If you want to know about lasers or electrolysis, there are likely industry associations and possibly self-regulating bodies. I have links to a couple FAQs on my website. I hope they are still current; see

Other hype is about all the supplements and non-drug hormone replacements not controlled by anyone but the consumers in what they buy versus don't buy.
