The Verseo Epen permanent hair removal system is well advertised around the web and on TV but it’s not my favorite home electrolysis product. You may question why that is the case as almost everything you read about the Epen seems to be quite glowing.
The ads will tell you that it removes hair permanently and without pain, it is clinically proven, it is simple to use and safe.
If all those facts were true then I ought to give it a wholehearted recommendation especially as the cost is very low when you compare it to professional electrolysis services.
However, from what I understand of the facts, the Epen electrolysis system uses a process that has NOT been proven to remove hair permanently and plain old does not work! It is supposed to destroy hair follicles by sending an electric current down the hair shaft but the electric current applied in that manner will not destroy anything. As hairfacts.com says “E-Pen should be avoided by all consumers”.
Verseo Epen electrolysis system
You see any home electrolysis system which promises to permanently remove unwanted hair without pain or needles cannot be telling the truth in my opinion. If you are destroying hair follicles which are right next to nerve endings, believe me you are going to feel it and you should be glad when you do because that means the treatment is working – whether it’s electrolysis or laser hair removal. You may feel more or less discomfort from different processes. You may be able to mask the pain with some anesthetic soothing cream but you will feel it.
The Epen promises pain free hair removal at the touch of a button. It says it is clinically tested and proven but do you know I have received so many ads about every miracle under the sun for everything from hair removal to wrinkle reduction to weight loss that clinically proven seems to mean nothing any more. And lo and behold the same company that sells the Epen for hair removal also seems to sell products that make your hair grow back and remove your cellulite too! Miracles abound! And if that isn’t enough to put you off then read the reviews here of the people who did buy it.
Alternatives to the Verseo Epen
If you want professional results from electrolysis then I’m afraid you have to either pay for professional electrolysis services or use a home electrolysis system which is similar to those used by professionals – where the probe or needle is in contact with the hair follicle when the current is applied. And whether you choose one or the other you will know that the treatment is working on your hair because you will feel it.
Best results will be obtained if you go to a reputable salon for your electrolysis treatment of course. If that is not possible for you either because of budget or time constraints then there is a home electrolysis product – the One Touch – which has real buyer reviews – balanced between those who had good results with the product and those who did not get on so well with it. See our One Touch review for more details. The One Touch may not be for you either but in any case, save your money on the Verseo Epen.
