Is it effective on arms?

Did Philips read the question or is it that they don’t understand anatomy? They wanted to know if it works on ARMS which are located well below the neck. If it works on the legs, it’ll certainly work on the arms but be sure to follow instructions! Go with the flow (in other words go in the direction of hair growth), never against it, and don’t dig into any area. Gently allow the tool to do the work for you.

Will this work on male facial hair?

Yes, it is possible beard and not damage yourself BUT maybe not everyone, and it hurts really really bad. Really. The skin is fine, but the hair itself feels like taking a pair of pliers, grabbing a bit of beard, and punching out fast to rip it out, then repeating on the hairs the slipped the first time. There will be tears. You can't go fast to just get it over with. The pain will puff your face a little a few hours. Then you are awesomely smooth with no shadow, and it can last for days longer. Probably not worth it for most. I don't know what the directions say about it. I recommend the generic advice of exfoliate and moisturize a day before, use it wet, and keep skin pulled tight. It gets slightly easier over time, but I don't know if it is enough to be worth it.

how do you tell when it needs a new tweezer head and where do you get one?

You shouldn't ever need a new head, it comes with a brush to clean it, it you can use compressed air.
