    Yes!! That too!!!! Hence they are appearing on ebay I guess. Some peopple may not be as "patient" as us or as money saving to care if they loose out of £250 ...

    Me too! After reading spending £250 and reading so many success stories I am determined to keep using till it works! If it hadn't been so expensive I would have got bored and given up a long time ago!

    Thanks for the reply and advice, think I'm sold!! lol

    its about the price I was going to pay for one session at a salon (for legs I think) so it has to be worth a try!

    Please don't base your decision to buy on my results alone as there are others here who are not seeing such good results at the moment. I guess that you just won't really know till you try it - and it is still early days for all of us, but just bear in mind that it might not be a 'miracle cure' for you.

    Whether we win or lose,

    What the heck!
    So I remember that you had problems with it before but without going back through the thread again (I already read it once honest:D).
    What are the three faults they have developed? Sorry :o
    See this worries me a lot, the cost of sending the bloody thing back with a courier.*
    That and wondering whether or not my hair is dark enough for it to work. It's a bit red, but it is still brown, if you know what I mean.

    *And no I couldn't just take it back to a store because there isn't one where I live.

    P.S What white eye liner are you lot using?

    Sorry to hear about the problems your having All eBayed Out, it must be such a pain! I really hope mine doesn't break.

    Lilibeth, no boots where you live?! I thought everywhere had a boots! Maybe worth speaking to someone at boots to check about the hair colour query to be on the safe side. I would have though it would work as long a your hair is darker then your skin but £250 is alot of money to risk!

    I'm not using any white eyeliner. Is everyone else? I don't have any moles on the areas where I'm treating so don't think I need to use it..

    One thing i have noticed it does is get rid of age spots/ liver spots on hands. My hands were covered in them but i think i got them as i spend 6 months in the sun in India but it seems to be zapping them away.

    tiamaria the first few times i done it on my hands the brown spots went really dark brown but they are much lighter now.Think i have done 4-5 sessions on them now.I read somewhere on internet that IPL helps remove these brown spots.
