Its a hand held unit, you just roll over your face, bikini, under arms, legs, back, check well anywhere on your body! within a few months or faster it is suppose to remove hair forever!

It has been brought up somewhere, did not get many raves! Sad

well bumber, I was thinking of never having to shave my legs again sounded Devinne!

I hear you there, I was tempted then read the posts here and decided not to blow the cash on one!

well unless some jump on and raves, I'll hold off then

I will try and find that thread, but I am not buying one based on the reviews.

Here's an article that compares the Tria and the Silk'n. From all the things I've read about laser hair removal, it's really laser hair reduction. I've never read anything stating that it actually removes all the hair. I've read that up to 80% of the hair can be reduced.

Lol! DarkMoon, which gadget are you talking about?

OMG I am teasing Tiny, Those stinking No No commercials! Bad Grin

Those stinking commercials are why I started this thread asking Embarassed

I have one - it does work very well on soft vellous hair (not what I bought it for) and I think I even see a reduction in recurrance ON THE FACE. I bought the unit for my bikini area which has been professionally treated for laser hair reduction and that really worked, problem is I am rapidly going grey in that area and laser does not work on non-pigmented hair.

There may be a little reduction in growth. Nothing spectacular after 2 months of religious use. I've not burned myself but it is very time consuming - sometimes one has to go over an area 5 or six times for it to get a hair. This could take forever, but after forking over the $ I feel compelled to persist. It is not anywhere near as good as professional laser hair reduction. And you will not have the "smooth" feeling that one gets after shaving; the hair may not be visible, but you can feel stubble. I know someone who has tria and she says she would not recommend that either. Sigh . . .

So your basicly saying its like shaving only not as good, since you still feel stubble even afterwards? Wow for the money I'd think you would see better results by now!

LOL I can relate to greys Shock

eta: good call on not getting this DM LOL

I have HSN playing a lot in the background while I work and they sell the NoNo, so I have heard the presentation several times, and I have been tempted several times. Smile

The reviews are mixed. People either love it or hate it.

Since I have read so many reviews and listened to the presentation so many times, these are my thoughts. The girl that sells the NoNo on HSN said that it took her 6-8 months to get her results, and she doesn't have to shave anymore. (You can watch the presentation on that link) When I read reviews, a lot of people are disappointed that they didn't get "removal" after weeks of use or even one use. But this is NOT a shaver. You still have to shave after you use this. It will take months to get a reduction. You also have to wait until the hair is a certain length to use the Nono, which is probably a major inconvenience for many. The other complaint I see is burns or cuts. So there definitely seems to be a learning curve with using this.

So my conclusion is I think it probably works, but it just depends on if the time, effort, trial and error is worth it to you. It's definitely not a miracle product, and the infomercials and commercials probably make it sound easier than it is. Plus, there is also an extra cost of having to replace the thermicon tips. One good thing is that this is not laser, so it supposedly works on any skin type and any skin color (unlike the Tria). I still think I would like to eventually try it, but it's not at the top of my wish list right now.

HTH!

Hey Tiny, I'm glad that info helped. There is a lot of info under the FAQ on that HSN link; that's where I got the info about the hair length.

Q: How long should hair be for a no!no! application?
A: For best results, hair should be between approx. 1/8 of an inch long (1 to 3mm stubble length)

Let us know if you decide to try it!

See that would of chapped me to buy it thinking hair growth not needed, only to have to grow stubble out to use it Confused

! That does not work for me at all!

Thanks again great info

Yeah, it would probably work out okay for me since I would want to use it mainly on like my chest and arms, and I don't necessarily always keep a close shave there. But I think for most women, they want to use it on legs and face, but don't want to have to wait for stubble to grow there!

Hi everyone! I'm new here and I just HAD to post a reply to this. I got a NONO for free as a promotion a year or so ago, used it once on my legs and CHUCKED IT OUT!

All it is a heated filament that lowers when you press down, with a silly light that turns on and does nothing. Honestly all it does is burn the hair it passes over. Seriously. That's all it does. Imagine accidentally burning off some of your arm hair over on the stove while cooking. Not enough to burn your skin, but enough to singe the hair. That wouldn't give you permanent hair removal. It would just make your kitchen smell really bad. The NONO does the same thing. My bathroom smelled awful for hours.

I strongly recommend against buying this overpriced, useless, smelly contraption. It's all marketing and no results. The only thing that has ever worked for me to permanently remove hair is laser treatment.
Best. Investment. Ever.

Hey everyone, my sister picked up one of these. I just got off the phone with her and asked her about it.

She says it's a pc. of junk. A match would do a better job.

So another no-no...

Yes! I honestly can't believe it's still on the market. You'd think they'd be sued for false advertisement and for insulting our intelligence.
