Does it work

Submitted by on

Yes it works and does thru some kind of heat induction/infured system. Usually requires several apps overtime. That's from several people I know that have used it. I wish I could afford one myself.

But you end up smelling like burning hair. This is not a joke.

but I doubt it. From the reviews I've seen from Amazon, the product is more miss than it is hit. I would be leery.

So, I wonder what it is?

I used a propane torch to take the hair off my arms once. It worked great, but you have to be fast or it will burn you. Hmmmm

Check out hairfacts.com and hairtell.com. Search on nono, peruse the site, also read the reviews on amazon. And ask yourself, "why would anyone use a name that can't be easily searched upon?"

Some of the ads that get served on this site are for No! No! from Radiancy.

While their rotary epilators are acceptable for temporary hair removal, some of their products make claims which have not been replicated in large-scale clinical trials. This is true of all devices with a light-based component, which they call LHE or light-heat-energy.

They often make claims that this sort of device "slows down" hair growth. I have not seen sufficient evidence to support these claims in large-scale double-blind clinical studies.

Home use light-based hair removal must be of lower intensity than professional devices to minimize risks to skin. Many devices have been cleared for home use in the last few years by the FDA. For some consumers, these are acceptable options for the results they want. For those seeking permanent hair removal, home use devices of these sorts will not meet the needs of consumers seeking permanent hair removal, especially on androgen-driven hair.

I don't think it's based on

I don't think it's based on light, looking at the tips closely you can see a wire filament being held by the teeth. I think the light is to show its working correctly while you glide it over your skin.

Basically it uses the same filaments used in toasters just thinner. It also never claims to be permanent, even the website itself states that electrolysis is the only permanent hair system. This one is just more convenient and probable as effective as laser for less money.

Effective as laser....

NO!

Properly done laser on hair/skin type combo's that favor it is JUST as permanent as electrolysis, typically costs less than electrolysis, and consumes less time. The NO!NO! and it's ilk (there's others like it now) aren't even CLOSE to that! It's not even really as good as waxing over-all, though at points it may be OCCASIONALLY permanent, for a few hairs here or there. It's like burning the hair out with a torch or lighter or grill or firepit or whatever have you. I burned half my eyebrows off on a grill once and am still struggling to recover them. So it ISSSSSSS possible, but only if there's other things interfering with the hair growth already. And it's really seriously still not ANYTHING like laser or electrolysis!

From what I've been told it hurts about the same as burning yourself on a grill too.

Ripoff Report

It might also be useful to know that, in addition to the rather steep purchase price, one has to buy replacement "tips" every month at roughly US$20 or so per month.

It appears to be a "hi-tech" and extremely expensive method of shaving, at heart, and ought at least to be exactly as effective as shaving combined with buffing, provided one wanted to devote a major portion of one's life to a time-consuming variation of the traditional method.

Call me crazy, but the notion that one can easily disrupt a physiological process like hair growth with the wave of any ‘magic wand’ seems more like fantasy than reality, and would thus attract both con-men and their marks, since magical thinking can account for almost anything.

In fact, I truly believe that the No!No! can be used to cure appendicitis, acne, and (paradoxically) male pattern baldness, provided only that one uses it conscientiously over a period of several years and pays a pile of money to the scammers.

to be true, it probably is, but then I can believe twelve impossible things before breakfast... So would that be a no-no, then?
