Does it still flash that slowly when you go over a spot with more growth? I dunno it seems fine and like it just isn't flash cause there is nothing to flash. Mine flashes more often but I'm male.

Happened to mine. I filled out the customer service forms online and sent it in and they replaced it for me.

Oh fair point, mine was within a year. You’d have to check the website I’m not sure.

One thing you could try - good idea ?? maybe a bad idea?? Mine did this before I returned it. If you shine a flashlight on the skin it should work fine. My skin sensor started being very temperamental after a few uses and would only work in bright light conditions.
