Emjoi for the face?

MarenSeattle — Sat, 31 May 2014 05:47:46 GMT

Some conflicting info -- please set me straight. Some women have said they use it all over their face. Emjoy says only the chin and upper lip.

If you have one, and use it all over your face (I'm talking pretty much everywhere up to the cheekbones), what has been your experience?

Thanks!

Hi Maren. I have the bigger one and use it on my whole face. It seems to do a good job if I keep up with it and don't get lazy.

Thaks, Krissie! I may give this a try -- it's so cute! That's my problem with everything I get, becoming lazy. :-)

I have the larger one too and use it all over my face. I'm lazy too, so the great thing about roils ting is I only have to do it every 2 weeks or so, and I'm finding after using it several months I have less hair and what I have is much finer and softer.

I use mine on the chin, under the chin, upper lip, jawline, and lower cheek area.

What is the pain factor when using this on the face? The information about the hair coming in finer is good, but does the Emjoi eliminate fine hair easily?

It's just like they say, a prickly sensation for me. Some say its a sharper feeling. I feel when it gets a hair now but barely. It gets the peach fuzz fine. I understand this model is better than the one I have

Some areas of the face are more sensitive than others- the upper lip for me. I had laser treatment years ago and the dr said to put a cotton ball on your gum by your inner lip - that cushions the nerves and it's a bit better.

I have the Emjoi Emagine (72 discs) and have never tried it on my face, but did try it on my fine arm hair (and the fine leg hair too) and it just does not pick up those fine hairs. I use it on my legs and have to go over with a razor to get the fine hairs.

I got my Emjoi - same one as TSV - in December. I use it all over my face. That is what I got it for. I use it on my cheeks, above lips, chin, between brows, and neck. No problem using it at all anywhere.

This model is smaller than the other Emjoi (72 disc) I tried and it is better shaped to fit along the curves of the face. I had not had the 72 disc for long when this one came out. I got this one, compared, and returned the 72 disc one.

I also use mine under my arms and on my legs.

I can't say I ever experienced any pain at all. You can feel it catching & tweezing the hairs but painful? No.

Ihave the smaller version for less than $20 and I use it on my chin and neck not on my entire face. But I would assume the only caution is to be careful because it's not a chemical hair remover it's physical.and yes it hurts! But well worth it! The hair removal is for weeks at a time!

I have not noticed hair growing back finer. If it is a coarse hair it is going to grow back that way.

I never took the razor part out of the package. I'm epilating! Not shaving. Complete waste of money.

I like it better than the other hair removal methods I have tried but I have to use mine a lot. I use it on my face every single morning & I have plenty of peach fuzz by the end of the day. I know Lisa said she has no hair for weeks but that my experience has been that the hair comes right back. I need to use it a few times per week under arms and probably once a week on legs.

I use mine on the face whether I need it, chin, jawline,upper lip and lower cheeks. You do experience a sensation, but like the other poster stated, it's well worth it.

Re: Emjoi for the face?

Andreatoo — Sat, 31 May 2014 14:48:57 GMT

the sensation and end result are similar to waxing. The advantage over waxing is more control and no mess its so much easier! just pull out your little device, run it over your chin and cheeks wherever, turn it off and put it away!

I have a few questions for those of you that have it.

Does the hair grow back darker?

How long does the hair have to be to use it?

Does it cause ingrown hairs?

TIA!

no the hair does not grow back darker and I have never experienced an ingrown hair. it works on peach fuzz so apparently your hair does not need to be very long.

Thanks Andreatoo! I think I am going to give it a try. I had an older model. I only used it on my bikini area and I remember the hair had to have some length or it would not grab it. I like that this one can be used on peach fuzz on the face too.

No, hair does not grow back darker. No method of hair removal causes hair to grow back darker. It is a myth.

Hair does not need to be long at all, just long enough for the tweezers to grab. Lisa said it will get those hairs you can feel but not get with a tweezer but I have not found that to be true. There are some the Emjoi does not get & I have to try to get them with a tweezer. Sometimes I can, sometimes I have to wait for the hair to grow a bit.

I have not experienced any ingrown hairs.
