I bought the epilator for legs accidently, will it work just as well on the face or do I need to return it. I have not oppened it yet.

Hi!This Epilator is made for use on your legs, however they do sell a separate accessory so that you may use it on your face. It is called a "facial cap". In my opinion. This epilator is very powerful and may be just to strong for use on the face. I would strongly recommend searching facial epilators and purchasing one made specifically for that use. If you do not plan on using the epilator on your legs, this one isn't for you.Best of luck.

If your gentle it will be fine for your face. I have used it around my chin with no problem.
1536247
I have been using it for quiet awhile now, its pretty strong, NO WAY you can use it for the face. Hope this helps.

Well I gotta tell you that my girlfriend uses it for, legs, armpits, face and etc, hurts a little the couple first times and then it is just so easy, ( that is what she told me) hope it works for you.

i use this on my face - it is a little tricky on my upper lip below my nose but it works for me. There might even be a guide head with this model but i never use that.

I have been using mine for a few months now and I think it would probably be too wide for use on the face. For example- it works well on the knees so I think it would probably work fine on the chin area, but I can't imagine it would work as well around the upper lip and/or eyebrow area.It's just too wide and you wouldn't want to be left without eyebrows :)

I don't think it will be good for facial hair...I have not tried on face and I use it for my legs/hands only. Its too wide for face. I feel its not a good idea to use it on face.
1536252
It depends on where on your face you want to use it. They have one with smaller attachments so its easier to use on the face. I think i would send it and get the one for the face too.

For me it did not work on my face, instead of pulling out all the hairs it came in contact with, it broke the hairs, which in turned caused me to have abscesses over my face and neck, it was very painful and ugly looking, I had to go to the emergency room to get some antibiotics and pain medication to help. I have been using epilators for years I purchased this one because I would be able to use it in the shower. Even with all the cleaning and sanitizing the epilator, this is what happened to me. Maybe it would work for you, I cannot say. All I do know is it did not work for me. I hope this helps you.

Dear customer,You can't have one for the legs and the eyebrows. For the legs I have a shaver or silk-Epil.Thank you,

Being an Esthetician, I would not recommend using on the face! I bought it for my legs to tighten the skin once a week

I would not know, I have never used it on my face. What I can say is that it works really well almost painlessly underarms and legs.

I chose the purple one because it is my favorite color. I've used epilators for many years. I like this one much better than previous ones. You would probably be happy with either one.

sorry I took so long to answer. the manufacturer doesn't recommend using it on the face. Knowing how it works, you could try after you experimented on your legs.

Maybe I used it wrong, I don't know, but I found it ineffective as an epilator. It did nothing, so I would think it would be worthless on the face as well. I have a Remington (purple one) that I use on my chin, and it works very well.

It is going to take a very long time if you only use the epilator to remove leg hair, and it will only be (relatively) smooth if you've done two things: 1) Let the hair GROW OUT. I mean really. Like wear only leggings for 2 and a half weeks. That's the only way you can guarantee that all of the hairs have grown long enough to be grabbed by the epilator (or even wax, for that matter). 2) Give your legs a GOOD exfoliation BEFORE you wax/use the epilator. That ensures that no hairs are trapped under a thin layer of skin -which creates bumps- and that you are actually removing the hairs, not just dead skin. Be careful not to over-do the exfoliation because then your skin will be very sensitive and want to heal - not what you want when ripping out thousands of tiny hairs. Like I commented above, I always wait about a day and then shave after I've done the epilator/wax. This makes my legs smoother and keeps my skin from growing back over the removed hair follicles. This is a system I've found to work really well for myself - everyone's hair/skin will be different, of course. Also, if you're serious about hair removal, WAX. It goes 10x faster. You can use the epilator afterwards if you want/have the time, to grab those tiny hairs the wax didn't get. But really for a quick lots-of-hair-removal, it's the best, because it takes it all away. Then you can shave (not immediately after, the skin is too sensitive) to make the skin smoother. I've mentioned all this in a comment above, as well. Hope this helps!

Okay, so I decided to try it on my face before answering. I don't have much facial hair but tried it on my upper lip. Woo! Who knew there was so much hair there? I am fair haired and so I guess it never showed! The hair is fine and soft but the epilady was still able to grab on and rip a lot of hair., but not all of it. I don't recommend using it prior to going out in public. I look like I was stung by a bunch of sweat bees (do they sting?) or rolled my upper lip in a bed of chiggers.

I have used only one small epilator made for the face, and I prefer the Remington. The head is rather thick compared to the one I used. I would not try to use it on eyebrows but I have used on my upper lip with good results. It is more powerful than the small ones that run on disposable batteries so it takes less time and doesn't hurt as much. I find that it works well on both fine and coarse hairs.

I have one and it did matter. There is a difference, though by looking at it you may not notice, but for me the side metal/plastic parts rubbed in the wrong area's on my right leg. The one I bought was for the left side. Unfortunately they are designed for one side not both. But you can always try it and if their is no pain... but it won't work 100% optimally.

Do NOT use this one on your face. I did, and it's irritating, and left scabs. It's amazing on legs, but this one isn't made for face.

I just got rid of my Braun 7681 because it's massaging head would not allow proper extraction of the hair..I had to go 5-6 times over the same area and eventually had to take off the massaging cap to be able to pull the hair out. Also Braun gave me a lot of ingrown hair by breaking them at extraction...I had owned 3 other Brown epilators before. I am switching to this one in hopes it will do a better job for me

Yes, it does. I use it on the peach fuzz right under my lower lip and it works great. Granted, it does hurt, but obviously that's going to be the case with anything that rips out multiple hairs in a second. Though, I have extremely sensitive skin, too. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be used on the face; my old epilator was advertised for facial use and since they appear to be almost exactly the same, I just went ahead and used this without looking into it. It's gentler than what I was using before. I haven't had any problems aside from red bumps that last a couple of hours that come up occasionally which I expect are unavoidable with the process (at least in my case). It may be a concern that using an epilator on the face can increase the risk of ingrown hairs (from what I have read). I've not had a problem with ingrown hairs on my face, though I have had the problem everywhere else I've used an epilator, so I expect this is very accurate. This may be something to think about if you have not used an epilator on your face previously.

Hi, I bought this product and after charging it and while i was reading the instructions, I noticed that i bought the wrong one. I need one for shaving, not for body grooming. I would like to know if I can replace it for one to shave my beard. The only thing is the receipt wasnt in the box, but i can attach the email from amazon. Thank you so much for your comprehension.

Judy, unless you have a "very, very" high pain threshold, I definitely would advise against using the epilator on your face. This appliance literally pulls the hair out, one by one. Using it on your extremities can be painful enough: using it on your face may be unbearable.

I tried it on my face but did not like it there. It goes little hard on the face. I would not recommend it for the face.
