how well does it work with facial hair removal?

Okay, so I decided to try it on my face before answering. I don't have much facial hair but tried it on my upper lip. Woo! Who knew there was so much hair there? I am fair haired and so I guess it never showed! The hair is fine and soft but the epilady was still able to grab on and rip a lot of hair., but not all of it. I don't recommend using it prior to going out in public. I look like I was stung by a bunch of sweat bees (do they sting?) or rolled my upper lip in a bed of chiggers.

I have not tried it on facial hair so unable to help you regarding that question. Works great on legs.

It shaves very close, but it's meant for facial hair. Don't expect a clean shave like with a razor. That said it DOES shave very close. If I normally trim my beard on #2 with most shavers, I have to use setting #4. So on #1 it'll leave the finest stubble you can imagine. Maybe that's what you are looking for?

I'm 65 and have no problem using it for facial hair. You do have to hold your skin tight so it won't pinch.

It's very worthwhile, especially if you have sensitive skin around the nose and under the lips. I use it every time I shave.

It works better than every other configuration I've tried. As with anything else, if you wait a couple of days, hairs lay down & it doesn't work well. But in 20-30 seconds every morning, stubble is gone

I have no experience with a shaved head, but this has been awesome for my chin. My problems with razor bumps have been dramatically reduced. With that said, I should say that I DON'T use it as a trimmer . I like to keep a separate tool that's just for trimming.

In my experience it does very well. The head pivots in two directions. At first I would try to guide the head--now I've learned to just steer the handle and let the pivoting happen. It follows the contours of my face very well. Don't press hard--gentle pressure is fine--and guide it over your face. The pivoting lets it track the changes in surface orientation and gives you a nice shave.

it didnt even work for me so i really cant say much. the only thing i can say to you is DO NOT SHAVE YOUR FACIAL HAIR. it will just grow back thicker and fuller and cause you even more of a problem!

I purchased this trimmer from Amazon in 2010 for $47.99. They obviously realized people were will to pay far more. As for the trimmer, it is fantastic and that includes the trimming of facial hair. That is, if you want to knock down a beard before shaving or if you're into the two day growth look. I believe there insistence that it not be used for facial hair reflects their desire to sell products specifically designed, and marketed, for that purpose.

It is not supposed to remove hair. It is supposed to tighten muscles, etc. on your face. I suppose you could use it on other parts of your body, but the pulse that it produces is not strong, so I would think it best suited for your face. I had a terrible time getting mine to function in the first place, so perhaps I am wrong about the strength of the pulse. I have not noticed a tightening of my facial muscles, but then I am not putting it to use on a regular basis.

I don't use it for my facial hair but based on experience on other parts of my body I would think it is definitely better than shaving and on that basis it will surely reduce the number of times you have to get rid of unwanted hair.

Cannot respond to the question regarding strong facial hair. I do not use it with shaving cream. It is not noisy. Gives a very smooth and excellent shave.

It would probably work pretty well - I've used it to clean off a two-week growth of beard using the trimmer first then the heads. I haven't shaved my head with it, but it's pretty gentle on the face.

Yes, however there are reservations and considerations. It is excellent with light hairs that are not your mustache or beard. Underneath your eyes for example. I tweeze to trim my beard and mustache. You can use it in lieu of shaving but it will be painful and will takesome time to get used to it. If you get bumps from shaving, you will get bumps from epilating. I use it on my face but not my whole face. I have a beard. My wife uses it on her face but she has no coarse hairs. I got her the ladies version as it is a bit gentle. Hope this helps.

It makes a decent beard trimmer. It has an adjustable attachment but you need to rinse the device during the trim to provide a clean cut

I love this. This was a very good investment. Now they are coming out with permanent hair removal, when they do I will buy that.Back to your question... my facial hair is only a small really not seen hair above my lip and it works great. I don't have a lot of hair on my face, sorry.

It does a decent job, the main things is that it makes ur beard much more soft and controllable which is a plus, this stuff is a must for any facial hair
