I think it works a little like the Clarity in ACR or Definition in Aperture. It can make body (arm, chest, eyebrows or whatever) hair look weird. So like Sean said it is best to use it on certain areas. I like to use it when I've shot something with ring light since that tends to flatten subjects out I can put some contrast back in with out losing the ring light affect.
