Alternatives to laser hair removal

Question: Are there are any at-home alternatives to laser hair removal?

Answer:

Laser hair removal targets the melanin in the hair's follicle, dissolving the hair at its root. Laser is a salon only treatment that gradually works to reduce hair regrowth the more you use it.

There is no at-home alternative to laser but there is a great new gadget called No! no! that you can use in the privacy of your own home and that also slows hairs regrowth over time.

The way No! no! ($280)works is that blades shave off the hairs at the skin's surface while a gentle current of heat transmits down the shaft of the hair, slowing its ability to regrow. In theory, this means the more you use the technology the less you will need to use it!

at myer you can buy it... however the feedback is its not effective at all
I bought one ....the good news, its painfree, the bad news, it simply doesn't work... In the short term, its virtually impossible to get a result like a shave or a wax, even if you spent hours on the same patch. It just doesn't grab and burn off the hair properly with the heated blade. Regardless of whether you use it on thin long hair or thick stubble, regardless of what blade you use. Very frustrating. Long term, very dissappointing too, I used if for many weeks now and can 't see any reduction. Waste of money.
Where can i buy one??
