User Comments

  • “The device causes an electric shock... reddens my skin...”

  • “Buttons ... are placed where your fingertips grip...accidentally hit a button and change settings to throw off...”

  • "Buttons where fingers go, constantly changing modes by mistake"

  • "Extremely heavy! It leaves various marks on my face that take hours to fade."

At-home beauty promises convenience, but real use tells a different story.

User behavior study

  • Buttons are prone to accidental touches

  • Complicated mode-switching logic

  • Struggle to maintain the ideal angle

  • Long sessions gripping cause discomfort

  • Easily falls down on the countertop
