Review title is Invest time and it pays off! [SEP] I'm not going to lie...it hurts like hell the first time you use it! The pain lessens after the first use and it helps that the hair growth is not as bad the second time around. Definitely exfoliate and make sure the hair is shorter the first time you use it (that helps a lot!) Use a good lotion as well, I like GiGi Slow Growth. I've only had mine a week but it's amazing how smooth my legs are, (I used to shave every other day due to stubble.) Get through the pain and you'll get the results!
