Many dermatologists have made small fortunes by deploying little machines from Cutera that remove body hair. These doctors charge up to $3,000 for a procedure that costs less than a tenth of that amount.

The holy grail is to have a home based device that will let you zap off your own hair. There is now such a device, called the ‘Epila’. They have a lot of reviews on Amazon…but it is not available there. Their absence makes their product suspect. If you were a legitimate product, you would want it on Amazon.

The company distributing this product promises a money back guarantee…but you have to ship it back to Canada at your expense. You also have to pay a $50 administration fee plus for shipping, insurance and tax. The website is run from Australia, it seems.

I am already leery of putting this thing close to my body. This company is displaying questionable business tactics, how good could their products be?

Of course, there is a logical reason for not having a presence in the USA: if you don’t have a presence in the USA, you can’t be sued in an American court.
