      I have one I have used twice because the fear of giving myself cancer freaks me the hell out. I have no idea if that fear is founded, it was just an epiphany I had.

        Zero risk of cancer, all it does is pull hairs out by the root the same as tweezers or wax. Not that I don’t understand the apprehension after having used it the first time, epilators hurt viciously but they get the job done quickly and consistently with minimal prep or cleanup.

            Fair, they do have a bunch of different IPL and laser products and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them could give you cancer
