How does verseo eglide work

Overall, I am happy with the eGlide and will continue to use it. I do note though that it is a bit time consuming to use, which that is fine for a small area such as the face. On the legs, I think it would be effective, but it has to be used for some time over a small area with each treatment. That would get rather time consuming, and I lack the patience for that. Because of that, I prefer home laser hair removal for my legs, but home laser devices are more expensive.

Finally, Verseo has yet another permanent hair removal option out that is related to the eGlide, but is meant specifically for use on larger areas, such as the legs. The Verseo ePad works on the same principle as the roller device, but sends the current into removable adhesive pads that are placed on the skin, which makes the process much easier to use and much less time consuming.

Each pad is good for 8 treatments and then must be replaced. So, the trade of there is efficiency over cost savings. However, it still ends up much cheaper than laser hair removal. Hi Carleen, thank you for writing this review and the one previous. I would love to know if you had any further long term results.

Hi Lisa! My long term results are about the same. Those come out of a scar and I wonder if that is why? It did work OK on the peach fuzz type hair. It just took awhile. For facial hair I now would be tempted to try the newer Flash and Go.

It reportedly can be used on facial hair and has gotten good reviews. You have to have a lighter skin tone for it though since it is a laser. Your email address will not be published.

It would cost more over time because it requires replacement pads, but it would still be much cheaper than laser hair removal.

For the full eGlide report, plus a bit more about the ePad, see my full eGlide Review. Buy the eGlide. This is very surprising to me that a home electrolysis system can permanently remove hair. Beauty salons with laser hair removal must be quaking in their boots!

I was thinking the same thing! I know many are not amused by the two FDA approved home laser hair removal devices. Those cost more than the eGlide, but are still much cheaper than the full course of salon treatments. I have one of these and in three uses have gotten bad burns on both of my thumbs. It has been a week and both of my thumbs are still not healed although the pain is now minimal. You have no idea how much you use your thumbs until they are both injured, just opening my morning creamer for my coffee hurt!

Kathy, what you describe does not sound normal for the product. I know one person who recently purchased the eGlide and she has not reported any such problems with it. I strongly suggest that you contact Verseo about this because it makes me wonder if you ended up with a defective product. It would be hard to imagine a user error that would cause such a thing.

Verso states that they unconditionally guarantee their products, so I imagine that they would also refund your money if you desire. Please also keep us updated! I plan to purchase an eGlide myself soon too in order to personally test it. Kathy you are probably holding it by the part that goes on your skin. That should not be touched without having the gel between the skin and the Eglide. The gel is to conduct the current so that it is safe. HS told me I had a defective product and they are replacing it.

Versio told me that if you stand on a rug this might happen I was standing on a bath mat in my bathroom while I used it. Also I was not holding the roller portion with my thumbs, just the two little metal parts on either side of the machine as shown in the user guide. I am a little anal and I followed the directions to the letter, applied the gel, etc. To update you, since I last posted, I was too optimistic about my healing progress, one of my thumbs got infected and became really, really sore right hand and that is now finally cleared up.

Both of my thumbs are still sore and tender but I am hoping fingers crossed to be completely healed in another days. HS is shipping me another product to try but at this point I am just a little hesitant.

I am hoping my first product was defective because I am willing to spend the time get rid of the unwanted hair which unfortunately is too light for laser treatments. I like my eglide so far.

I hope it works because it is so much cheaper than laser hair removal and I have pretty light hair for that to work well. Are you suppose to tweeze every hair?? Maybe im using it wrong but after i do a treatment the hair stays? Hi Marlene! The eGlide will not work instantly. It, along with other systems such as laser hair removal, work by slowly killing the hair follicals. This can take up to months of treatments and some people never completely get rid of the hair but usually greatly thin it.

Over time, the hair will come back thinner with multiple treatments. Be sure to read the instructions that came with the product. Also, since you mention tweezing, are you using the eGlide, or the ePen the epen is an electrolysis tweezer sold by Verseo? Personally, I have used the Tria Laser and started getting really good results after about 8 months.

Im using the eglide. Yes, you will still have to wax and shave for some time. Unfortunately, there are not any particularly quick permanent hair removal systems for large areas of hair.

The laser systems, both for home and spa or salon, are the same way—they take many months of regular use. The promising thing about the eGlide is mainly its price. The eGlide is still so new though that its effectiveness is not really known.

I have been using the Tria Laser , I do like the Tria a lot. But it is pricier. I just purchased this item from as seen on tv. I have used it for 7 days and already see good results: it says you have to wait 60 for noticeable, but I am impressed so far.

I have had no burns on my thumbs and no burns or excessive redness on my face. Just follow the directions, and make sure you keep up with it. I would highly recommend this:. I see my earlier post no longer displays although it is mentioned. If you feel tingling on your thumbs stop using this product. It has been 4 or 5 weeks since I first used mine a total of 3 times and felt tingling in my thumbs.

Both thumbs were badly burned and today are not yet completely healed. Be careful. I was experimenting with showing the first few newest posts and then a more link to show the rest in order to make the pages shorter. Sorry for any confusion! I was just wondering how often I am supposed to use the eglide? Also, I was wondering if anyone else had very dry skin after using on their face. I have read about people being burned with the laser devices and with other electrolysis devices. Does it really even work for permanent hair removal?

Does the hair come out after treatment? Why would you do this if you have to keep shaving anyway? I want to use this on my lower legs. I would not risk it anywhere else, but maybe even there is not safe.

I have light, fine hair for the most part fortunately and I only shave my lower legs x per wk usually, but I would like to get rid of stubble. Meow: Laser devices are not safe for use on dark skin because the laser targets pigment. In those cases, they could cause burns. The Eglide is not a laser, so it can be used on all skin tones. All of these devices normally require multiple uses over months before permanent hair loss is achieved because they slowly kill the hair follicles over time.

I started seeing no need to shave my test area with the Tria laser at about months or so. The effectiveness of the Eglide really is not known yet. But I suspect that quick of results is not going to be the norm.

They also promise noticeable results in 90 days with a money back guarantee. Since I have been getting many questions about the eGlide, I do plan to order one today so that I can personally test it and review it.

Heather: According to a video on the Verseo site, here are the treatment frequencies for the eGlide:. For Body: No more than 11 minutes per day and no more than six days days per week. Here is the link to the page with the video: Eglide.

It is part way down the product page and the video gives pretty good instructions for use. The effect on acne is interesting, but not necessarily surprising. I have oily acne prone skin. OK, I just ordered an eGlide so that I can do a full review of it! Thanks for the info Carleenp!

I skipped 2 days of using the eglide and when I used it again I got the dryness again. I would even be happy to buy this just for acne treatment. It zaps it away in a day or two! I hope you have good luck with it too! So if you started to get that you could just stop if you started to feel it. Just a suggestion. Hey everybody … have been trying to find an effective way to get rid of facial hair.

Have tried everything up to professional laser treatments my treatment center has closed down unexpectedly, screwing every single client by hundreds of dollars and now I am at a loss of what to do.. I am interested in the verseo eglide, but am curious because I have not been able to find any information anywhere, in order to use this, does the hair on the face or body need to be grown out, or can it be used when the hair is shaven and not seen from the surface??

I sure am curious about how it will affect my acne! With tingling sensations, my understanding is that a slight sensation on the area being treated is normal. The video mentions it and I get a slight heating type sensation from the home laser.

But I do think that she got a defective device and that what happened to her is not the norm. Hopefully such defects are rare. Hi Ayla! With the home laser devices I have used the Tria Beauty Laser you shave first and then use the device. Those are more expensive than the eGlide, but cheaper in the long run than salon treatments.

It dries it out, but worth it. Even the larger, deeper, cyst-like acne I get them around my cycle are zapped away in days. At least it works for me that is. I think the tingling the company is referring to is the sensation some people might feel on the area they are using the device, not on the fingers holding it. At least that was how I understood it. I forgot to ask Carleenp — will you please let us know which device you feel gives better results once you have had sufficient time to evaluate the eglide?

Have not tried either…yet. Ana, it is fairly new, which is likely why there are no blog reviews and such. I believe there are some consumer reviews of it on the Verseo site. Anyway, I purchased one and am in the process of testing it. So far all was fine with my first try with it. I do love my Tria and will say right off that the Tria is easier to use. There is no need for gel or marking out areas etc. Just turn it on and start touching it to the skin. It also is pricey and takes some time before results are seen.

But I was wondering which do you think would be best for the legs. And also how your experience with the eGlide has been so far? Thank you for your time! Hi Rox! Any of the products will be fine on the legs. The Tria is rather nice for legs simply because it is so easy to use and I love mine, but it is also the most pricey, takes many months to see results, and can only be used on lighter skin that preferably has darkish hair for best results.

I recommend the eGlide over the no! I have not personally tried the no! Both the eGlide and no! So far I have used the eGlide once on facial hair and it went fine. I need to use it more before I can draw any major conclusions, but it is pretty easy to use. The thing about the eGlide is that you use a conductive gel with it and, for legs, they recommend marking out areas on your legs to show where you used it.

That makes it a bit more labor intensive than the Tria, which is just touched to the skin repeatedly. But the price difference is huge. But overall effectiveness of the eGlide is not yet totally clear. Verseo does state that they offer an unconditional money back guarantee. I hope this helps! Hey Carleen! Thank you for all the info, it has definitely helped me narrow it down to the Tria and eGlide. But I was just wondering, in regards to the eGlide, if there is anything else I would have to do prior to or after I use it.

For example, would i have to shave or pluck away the hair before or after? With the Tria, you shave before you use it. With the eGlide, the directions say to shave or cut hair as short as possible before using it, but it also says to gently pull out hairs with the provided tweezers afterward.

Based on that, I think it might work best on short stubble, which I also seem to remember from the video on the Verseo site. So there are definitely different trade offs there. Watch for my upcoming Verseo eGlide review. Thanks for all the info Carleen, you have been super helpful! My two cents on the e-glide… I bought it for the price.

From my understanding, electrolysis is the only permanent technique vs laser. It says to shave, but then it also says the gel works best if it works down into the follicle, along the hair. It says you can use it 6 days a week. But it says to pluck afterwards. Or do you need to wait til they grow back? Or should not pluck them, and zap them a few times til the hairs come out easily?

None of that is clear. I realized quickly that I will never use this on my legs. If you can only do 10x4cm at a time, it would take forever. Fresh out of the shower, damp skin, no lotion or anything. Applied gel how much gel? Then put the machine in body mode, and started. And a couple times I felt a brief zing in my fingers- stopped immediately if I shifted position.

And what about moving? Do you have to be in constant motion, or can you hold it one place for while? How fast do you need to be moving? So, I did one side. The third time, it kept stinging my fingers. At that point, I decided it was too much of a hassle, and I would never use it regularly.

They say you CAN use it 6x a week. And to expect results in 3 months. Granted it was only 3x. All that said- it might be different on the face, where you only have to do it for one minute. That might be more manageable. Thanks for the info A! I have used the eGlide on small sections of my face a couple of times now and like it fine for that, but I agree that on the legs it seems like it would be tedious. I agree that the instructions are not very clear or complete.

I plan to write my full review in another month or so, I want to give it enough time to see if it seems to work on the facial hair. Here it is! This product was choosed to advertise here for amazon.
