The E-Pen sold by ElyseĂ© Electro, also known as the Verseo ePen, is a home-use version of the doubtful “transdermal hair removal” method. It sends energy through an electrified Q-Tip type of cotton swab.
E-Pen should be avoided by all consumers.
This device has not shown any published clinical evidence it can work as claimed.
It is currently being promoted heavily on television through direct-response commercials.

This “transcutaneous hair removal” device also comes with “conductive gel pads,” another gimmick with no published medical data indicating it can work.
The unit retails for $59.95, with replacement gel/electrodes $19.95 each.
Quack claims

- “Will I achieve permanent hair removal? In a word, YES!”
- “EasyTweeze is the safe and painless way to permanent hair removal.”
- “The E-Pen is as effective as professional electrolysis or laser hair removal methods.”
- “E-Pen is the way to achieve permanent hair removal without damaging your skin or spending way too much money.”
