Epitron electric tweezers Epitron is a brand of  electric
tweezer device sold by Global Electrolysis Supply,

Not permanent
Published
clinical data indicate these devices cannot achieve permanent
hair removal. For more, please see my summary of electric
tweezer medical literature.
In 1998 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a
Final
Rule that "there is no statistically significant scientific
data available at this time to support promotional claims of permanent
or long-term removal of hair through use of the device."
Quack claims
They claim that "short-wave probeless epilation"
is permanent.
“Can substantially improve the reliability of results
achieved by laser hair removal treatments.”
They claim AC electric tweezers like Epitron are capable of
“doubling the efficacy” of laser hair removal treatment.
“Thermolysis based systems, including Laser and rF probeless
epilation, have been frequently published in dermatology journals
as a superior combination.”
