The EmjoiOptiMax is a revolutionary rechargeable hair removal system that has a unique epilation head with dual opposed tweezers. The eplilation head removes hair from the root for long lasting results so you'll be hair free for up to six weeks.

It also features patented hair guides that channel flat and short hair into the hair removal discs. The Emjoi OptiMax removes hair from the upper lip and chin (use one side of the epilation attachment), legs, bikini line and underarms. It is great for travel and easy to use.

I like this product a lot! it definately plucks your hairs out but it doesnt take a while. yuo have to keep on goign in circles until all the hairs are finally out. it will probably take an hour to do both legs. but the hairs grow back slowly and thin so i really like this!

This product is just ok. It does not work nearly as well as the Remington (best I have used) or Epilady (circa 1989!) that I have purchased in the past. Doesn't grab hair very well so I have to make many more passes before it gets them. I thought that the two heads that allow bi-directional passes would be worth the extra cost but it wasn't.

I'm a 36 year old woman with average skin sensitivity. My only previous hair-removal experience is with shaving. And my husband would be fine if I let all my hair grow in, so I don't do any hair removal for him. It's just for me and I'd never consider using the OptiMax on my arms, where my hair color is light. A year ago, I started using the OptiMax, hoping for the long-term benefit of less hair growth after follicles stop producing over time. I haven't tested the long-term hair growth yet, by not epilating or shaving for a month or more. I have gone a week or more between hair-removal sessions and what I like best is that even when some hair starts to grow in, in a few days, those are the from the follicles you'd plucked two weeks ago. The hair comes back in at different rates. And sometimes hairs do just get broken off (more like shaving) instead of plucked, but it's not a big deal. Overall, it's VERY UNLIKE the re-growth after shaving, where you feel all your stubble, all at once, after just a few hours. I don't think I ever feel quite as smooth as the first hours after shaving, but that feeling is so fleeting.
It was painful at first. After my first session on my armpits, I called it "self-induced armpit torture". It was so painful I started sweating and it doesn't work on wet hair/skin. After a few sessions though, when less hair is getting removed because of different growth cycles, even armpit removal is tolerable and no longer torturous. (That is the only region where I have problems with catching my skin. Oooo that hurts, but I've learned to pay close attention and learned how to best move the OptiMax over the contours of the underarm. I generally use it once or twice a week, and even after hair starts to grow back, it is thin enough that I feel comfortable wearing tank tops in public. (I guess I am careful not to walk around flashing my pits, but it isn't like I ever did that anyway. And again, I'll highlight the big difference compared to re-growth after shaving, where I wouldn't wear a tank top in public 24 hours after shaving.)
First time on the legs didn't hurt nearly as much as under my arms. And after a few sessions, the little pricks of pain are subtle enough not to be a bother. (A hint, contrary to the directions, I feel I get better results when I stand and epillate my knees so the skin is a little loose, rather than when bent or pulled taught.) I do get a few ingrown hairs on my legs. Both types -- the ones I can see growing under the skin and the pimple-like bumps. I scrub and scrub with a mitt during longer showers. But I put up with them for the benefit of thinner hair between sessions. (Plus, I'm vain about the veins in my legs and never wear shorts or short skirts.) I used to get itchy razor burn on my lower legs and bikini area, so the trade off of a few ingrown hairs is one I'm happy to make.
I've never used it on my face and I only use it on the hair growing outside my swimsuit line. I hated having to shave that area all year, when months and months go by in MN when I don't wear a swimsuit. But I really hated the razor burn I'd get with the first few shaves in the summer or for an unexpected stay at a hotel with a pool. So, I am HAPPY, happy, happy to avoid that altogether.
I almost rated this item with a 4 instead of a 5. I'd give it a 4 1/2 if I could. The power and speed of the tweezers isn't as strong when it has been charged, so I always use it plugged in. It still works, but it is much slower. In my opinion, it is like using the low power setting that is recommended for using it on your face. I didn't buy it for that sort of use, but it does mean I have to bring along the power cord when traveling. Also, I wish it did the job faster. From the reviews I've read, the Emjoi seems faster than some other brands, but it feels like it takes a long time to me. (Then again, I've never taken the time to drive to a spa for waxing or to a dermatologist for laser hair removal.) I'm sure one session with the Emjoi takes longer than a week's worth of shaving time added up. I've never timed a full session because I usually get interrupted. I bet a thorough session takes 20 minutes -- arm pits, outer bikini area, and lower thighs on down. If it was faster, I'd be thrilled. As it is, I'm pleased with this product after a year's use.

After suffering through a Braun after my old epilator died, I saw a review for this one rating it very high in preventing ingrown hairs. I was able to get one for close-out price on HSN as too many customers were disappointed in epilating in general. If you have the patience to part with a razor, this model is a gem at full price. Not only are ingrown hairs rare, it is close to painless! I think that hair follicles must be traumatized by pain with other brands, and then retract when pulled. This OptiMax is gentler enough to use underarms, and you barely feel the plucking on legs. I have no idea how they did it, but BUY THIS ONE!

I've used epilators for hair removal for a long time. It's much less irritating than shaving with a blade or using depilatories. It's far less painful than waxing!
I've used the original Epilady (loved it) and the Emjoi Gently Gold Caress. And I used them until they died. I was a little skeptical about this dual-head model, but thought I'd give it a try. I've been using it for a few months now, and I do like it.
I was afraid the dual heads spinning might pinch my skin, but that is not a problem. Actually, this epilator works faster than the Gently Gold, which has a wider head. It's easy to clean too. You can remove the heads entirely. You don't have to dig around to brush them clean. This was a problem with the Gently Gold model. I don't find the OptiMax more effective than the other two, but like it better for these reasons.
I hated to part with so much money for hair removal, but it's a necessary evil. And it's actually cost-effective anyway. I expect this to last many years, as the other two did. Over the long run, it's much less expensive than other hair removal methods.
