Still makes no sense. The heat&#x2F;power requirements to burn off hair are ridiculous and dangerous to use. Look at those overpowered laser pointers that can barely pop a balloon. These devices can blind a person easily. Hair is much, much tougher and would require magnitudes more power.<p>&gt;Morgan Gustavsson<p>Dunno, but people cash out all the time. Race car drivers endorsing crappy mass produced cars, etc. I&#x27;m especially critical of anyone nearing or at retirement age. There&#x27;s a &quot;give no fucks, give me easy money&quot; attitude that kicks in around then, as well as worrying about taking care of those you love after you pass. Not to mention, these people being way past their prime and perhaps trying to chase old glories via questionable methods.<p>&gt;why go to Kickstarter to bring it to market?<p>Lets assume the tech isn&#x27;t all snake-oil. Maybe investors know things that Joe Blow Internet Geek doesn&#x27;t. Concerns about safety, power usage, lawsuits, regulations, etc. This seems like a nice way to side-step informed investing and push all the high risk liabilities onto random schmucks.<p>Or its a &quot;semi-scam.&quot; I watched the video of the prototype and its clear that its just cutting using a hot wire, which seems to be heated up via some kind of light source, perhaps a laser. Sure its a &quot;laser&quot; cut, but not exactly what people are expecting.
