No No

Hi,

There's an ad about No NO Laser that can remove hair permanently after using it a number of times, and they say you can use it on your face now. It says it even removes hair on the face of males. That who'd be great if it's true, especially since the thing only costs about $300. Can it be true?

I have not used one at all Melissa but I know it does not use laser. It appears to burn the hair off so won't get at the roots!

I would imagine someone here has tried it but if not I suggest you check online for reviews as there are a lot of bad ones out there (as well as some good).

Personally I am put off even trying!

Please look at the hair removal topic. You will soon understand why it has the name it does. No No

I think I herd it said best on another forum. When it comes to hair removal, just say HE*L no to no no.

People have been burned and cut by that thing and it has happened to the extent of permanent scars.

I am not aware of any general evidence that the No No has any positive effect for most transgender individuals seeking facial hair removal. I have heard a tiny few anecdotal cases where someone said it worked, often only marginally, for them.

Facial hair removal has only two real options - laser if you have light skin and dark hair or electrolysis. That's it. And both are far better done by professionals.

I bought one and it was a complete waste of money. It burns the hair just above the skin, but the bulb and root are not affected. Hence it is a waste of money. Kathy

I'm so glad to have found this topic. I just signed up and am finding the amount of information is too huge for words! My aunt dies recently and while cleaning out the home, we found a Nono! and a bunch of supplies. I was actually planning on trying it but since finding out about the possible permanent skin damage, I'll just throw it away....

Thanks for the info......

At my daughter's request, I bought one of these these for Christmas for my ex (and our daughter)...yeah, I still buy my ex presents for Christmas, Birthday, and Mother's Day (and put the kid's names on the tag). My ex is blond (so laser won't work), otherwise I'd have gotten them a Silk'n or Tria...all are about the same price (~$200 for the base models) The NoNo is basically a heat razor. It burns the hair off just below the surface (and it smells like burnt hair!), so it takes a bit longer to grow back (much like Nair or such). Unlike a razor, it won't cut you...but it CAN burn you. Used properly, and with caution, the NoNo is a good alternative to shaving...but it is not a permanent hair removal device. Personally I'd recommend Nair over the NoNo.

For the last eight months, I've heard nothing but good things about their new NoNo, it performs as expected.

Take care and be well!

As others have noted, the No No is not permanent facial hair removal. Why is this important? Beard shadow is caused by hair below the skin line discoloring the skin and only via total and permanent removal of said hairs will you ever completely eliminate beard shadow.
