Rio Removal System is not worth the money. Everyone who even considers buying it, should just give it up as it is completely pointless. I had the right type of skin and the right type of hair. Not even a single hair fell of. It must be used for a very long period of time, so that there are results. Do not think you will stop having hair immediately, everywhere. First it is difficult to cover even a small area, as it takes forever. It took me 5 days to do one leg. For the amount of time you will spend using it, you will be able to save money for laser clinic treatments, and their results are so much better. If I knew how it actually worked, I would have never bought it. The advertising and comments, saying it's great and you will no longer have hair are false and would not recommend anyone to buy it.

Horrible. Extremely not recommended!!! Laser is perhaps the best treatment for permanent hair removal and personally, I have had multiple treatments and have seen incredible results. I always wished to have a home laser kit to treat myself and pay less. Therefore, I have been searching all around to find a home kit (which I believed, someone must have put time into this business!) so when I finally found RIO home laser, I was psyched! Nonetheless, this thrilling feeling only lasted perhaps 30s after I tried the unit. It is only nerve wrecking, time consuming, upsetting, a major BS. Unless, you are ok with paying hundreds to treat this one single hair you have, don't waste your money and patience. I would just like to add that this is the second unit I bought(first was the original one that came with which I was totally dissatisfied like this time) to give it a second chance, thinking that things were redesigned and ameliorated... I believe they just took all the original returned stock and faked the whole by adding a 60x button. Stick does the same bs... The packaging is cute... Don't waste your time.

I have had this laser for about 4 years and have been targeting specific hairs for that time. I have not noticed any difference in these hairs despite using the highest setting and having the otimal hair and skin colour for laser treatment. The scanning

I can't diss rio lahr laser hair removal enough. It seems as though the scientists behind its creation didn't even put it to the test.

I used it for over a year with NO noticable hair reduction. It seems as though you also must burn-the-bejesus out of the hair to nuke it, otherwise it won't disappear/fall out after treatment.

It's also massively time-consuming - you must focus the beam on each individual hair - a real hinderance if you have a substantial number of hairs that need removing. Oh, and don't even get me started on how frustrating it was to point the (tiny) beam EXACTLY over the hair follicle on somewhere awkward like your inner thigh!

I bought the single hair unit and the x20 unit. The Rio Lahr Laser Hair Removal System laser is obviously alot weaker than those at the salons and i personally don't think it is effective. The single hair unit is a waste of time and the x20 isn't big enough to cover larger areas.

I am fair skinned and have dark hair and i recommend putting the cost of these units into the salon treatments instead as they ARE effective. I had laser treatment afew years ago and then got pregnant, so stopped - never had the cash handy since to continue.

However I have half the amount of hair that i used to in the areas that were treated. I think after another 4 - 6 treatments there will be no re-growth, or maybe i will need a top up once a year, which in my opinion is money well spent for the confidence i get from being hair free.
Just make sure you go to a reputable practioner, even if it costs a little bit more, as you can get permanently scarred.
It will cost me more this time per treatment (have been recommended someone through an NHS dermatologist), but i am not risking a salon again (was lucky last time).

I have been useing the Rio lazor hair removel 20x scanning for 7 months, i have followed every advice given i am the right skin and hair colour, wich makes me compatible with the unite
and there has been no change in my hair reduction what so ever, I would love to know how to get my money back £157 it was bought from Ideal World, i am really upset and out of pocket.

I did everything right, I was exactly the right skin type (pale with dark hair). I used it about 25 to 30 times and can honestly say not a single hair on the area I was treating was removed. Eventually I called the customer care line.

I have used the Rio Laser Hair removal machine for about 8 months and can honestly say that I would NOT recommend anyone wasting their money on it. I persevered and achieved ZERO results (may possibly have seen an increase in hair growth in underarms!) I have fair skin and dark hairs so supposedly ideal - it cost me £165.00 so I have just returned it to the place of purchase (MAKRO) for a full refund.

The simple model which treat single hairs is not good. I am curious how the more expensive model works (the one for £200). I could't give back to Argos because they not accept it.

In my opinion it s a waste of money....Burn the hairs instead to destroy it.. make your skin red.

The RIO LAHR Laser Hair Removal System is a total waste of money

I have had the RIO LAHR Laser Hair Removal System for a week. It is painless to use, and it seems to work fine, but hair doesn't fall out!
