The reason they tell you not to use it on your face, I believe, is because it's SO much more likely that you'll burn yourself. I don't buy the bullcrap about Thermacon technology and whatnot. The truth is that the sucker burns off your hair, and thats about it, if you want my honest thought about it. Theres a FINE wire that basically heats up and burns your hair, literally. If you read all the info about it that they have in the manual and stuff with that in mind, I think you'll see what I'm saying.. anywho, that's why it work for me because it burns the hair all the way down (I mean the visible part, at least), hence no more 5 o'clock shadow for me. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone to use on their face, just me personally, I know its working for me in terms of the whole shadow thing (or lack thereof :o)
