Where do I stand with returning a no!no! hair laser?

Thermicon™ technology

Doesnt it just burn the hairs off? FIL mentioned it when he spotted the advert on TV. I read some reviews and with long hair it stinks of burning.

Needs short hair to work properly. Even then the results from testers on youtube was not great.

Check the reviews on amazon.com -- endless complaints that the product doesn't work, and refunds under the No-Quibble policy are hard to come by.

Find a detailed picture of a thermicon tip on Google Images. It's just a plastic support for a bit of wire. So it's patented. Big whoop.

It's not a laser. It's a hot-wire and a blue LED to make it look cool. It's overpriced tat, in my opinion.

There's a reason this thing is saturation advertised on TV. No one would buy it otherwise.

Might as well bob down B&Q and get yourself a polystyrene hot-wire cutter, an electric hand-sander, and some Swarfega. At least you can also use them for DIY around the home, after carving your skin off.

Actually, don't do that
