🦋 You are beYoutiful inside and out; I love you!
Real person here who has had IPL in a clinic. When my doctor referred me to a clinic that does IPL hair removal, I was so excited. I didnt even know about the clinic around here and they recently moved theyre just up the road from me! Going once every month I started shedding and growing less and less hairs. 7 months later and the results are amazing. It hurts less each time because of less hair being there to the point it just feels satisfying knowing and feeling the hairs being targeted by the laser. They changed my life I never thought my face would ever be this hairless. Handheld devices.. I dont know about that. It doesnt feel anything close to how it feels in a clinic. I dont think they work unless you use it for years upon years, and maybe only get some results
Works grrrreat! Not as powerful as a clinic IPL but so much more convenient! I use the Kenzie and love it. Helps fade brown spots and broken capillaries too. You’ll have to keep it up like you do with any hair removal treatment. Even at the clinic you’ll have to keep going back.
Been using the Braun IPL at home. 10weeks in and definitely works.
It does work. I use the Philips, and I have no leg hair anymore.
I used Philips Lumea as a biological male, that was hairy as a monkey, and now i'm almost hairless in almost all parts of my body
I would love to see comparisons between IPL devices and your experience with them! I’ve been using the Ulike for about a month now and have definitely noticed a bit of a difference so far but I’m curious to see what the result overall will be for me.
can u do chloemorello sirenii
Third week of wanting to see Cassandra’s reaction to Cle de Peau’s 17,000 dollar moisturizer! 🤣 I almost fell out of my chair when I saw it, so to see her reaction would be PRICELESS!
What in the world does that 17K moisturizer do? For that much, I want a cure for eczema and asymptomatic menopause.
@@lucianabrady-henderson6653 for that price I also want an end to world hunger and a cure for psoriasis! Must be nice to be able to afford that without thinking twice!
I've had great results with doing a combo of laser hair and IPL. I found I could get about 70% of my body hair gone and then I could save money on the number of laser hair removal sessions I had to pay for.
I also found that once I got less hair in some areas, I no longer cared about being hairless there and have let nature take its course in those place.
I used Philips Lumea Prestige for over 2 years. I started on my legs and face first and later added new areas. Basically I don't have hair growing very much on my legs anymore. I shave them every 6weeks before a treatment and i only find the good old blond hair which are invisible and almost cant feel them by touch. I only see when i look at how much hair was removed by the razer and that's all. I think if you can afford it its great. But I have to be honest i didn't skipped more then 2 times in the past 2 years so you have to make sure you do the treatment. than its worth it a lot!
Definitely would love a “safely waxing at home” video!
I would love for you to talk more about your thoughts and the science behind these hair removal techniques! I'm currently dealing with coarse hairs in unwanted places due to PCOS, so I've been going down a hair removal rabbit hole.
Same! :,( its so frustrating! I have tried IPL and Alexandrite lasers for my facial hair. Did that every month for 2 whole years but because the hair is so hormonal, some months nothing grew at all but others it was almost like I had gone back to step 0...
My mother gifted me an at home IPL device for Christmas and it has really helped me because I can take care of the hairs myself whenever they grow. This one works very very well for me, but I had some past experience with a cheaper IPL device and that one was absolutely useless.
Ive also heard that electrolysis was a much better option for people with hormonal hair growth (I was actually about to try that before I recived the IPL device).
@@joana1747 is there a specific IPL device you would recommend?
@@catherinewilhelm809 The one I've been using is the Phillips Lumea Advanced and it has been working quite well! However IPL can only be used on light to medium skin tones and is most effective when your skin is light and/or the hair is dark. If your hairs are on the lighter side or you have a deeper skin tone I would definitely look into electolysis!
I have the same issues. Needing to shave every day. It has been debilitating to my self-confidence and self-image as a cis female. Electrolysis is by far the most effective method of hair removal for PCOS, but it is very costly and I simply cannot afford it. Home IPL, like Philips Lumea, does make a difference but it takes a long time and is never permanent. The major benefit (for me) is that I can do it at home when needed. It's a big initial cost ($300+) but once it's yours, it's yours. I have found that over time, hormonal hair is mostly growing back much finer or has stopped growing back, but this is a small area and I have been using since January weekly. Results are slow on my face, but I am starting to see them so I have no reason to stop now. For everywhere else though, it has taken effect much quicker and I now shave my body once every 2 weeks (with less/finer hair coming back). The only thing I can say if give it a go (if your budget allows) and to not expect results over night. Consistence is key.
Have been doing clinical laser on my underarms and my legs for about a year, and as someone with very fair skin and thick, coarse hair… it’s been an absolute miracle. So worth the price. Never had anything better. The hairs that do grow back and so much thinner and bearable that’s it’s like they’re not even there. I’ve never had to deal with itchiness or ingrowns for so long 😭
I do sugaring! I just started doing it so it’s a learning process. But I made my own, and watched some video tutorials and did it. And I’m in love with it! It’s not permanent as it’ll grow back at some point, BUT it’s environmentally friendly. I’ve found it’s also not very painful and super easy to do. Blood dew and bruising can be common but if you know what you’re doing, it’s not a problem at all! I recommend it to everyone now!
I would love to learn more about hair removal - especially for super sensitive skin. Regardless of the method and preparation, I always seem to end up with rashes and terrible ingrown hairs (even to the point of scarring!).
I look forward to see your future video on safe waxing & the kennzi vs video 😃
I have to go to my second laser hair removal in 2 weeks and I am so happy that I finally started this treatment. the results are already showing and I am so happy. I saw your Kenzzi review when you posted it and understood that those results will not satisfy me.
11:40 yes, please could you go ahead and film a comparison of the ulike and kenzie devices? ❤
Love the Kenzie! Works great ❤
Cassandra could you include the next time epilators as well. This time again it didn't make it into one of your hair removal videos. I would love to hear youre take on it. I use epilators for almost 20 years now, and I love it. It works for me in every area.
Ive been using an at-home IPL device for a year now and it's truly amazing! I use a Silk'n, I believe they're one of the first companies to create at home IPL which is why I bought from them. I started seeing results in less than 6 months!! Now it may not be as powerful / advanced as in-clinic treatment, but it's still freaking good!! If you're interested, do your research on the subject, how it works, the best brands, etc. and then buy one, it's totally worth it and overall less expensive than going to a clinic 👌🏻
The leaf razor is like the bevel but has a grip accesory and pivots like a plastic razor, making it easier to use. They also have an eco friendly dermaplaner
I'm thankful I have a acne big sister now. I'm struggling with cystic acne. So this brings up my mood
I would love a comparison!! I purchased an IPL around 4 years ago and it was pretty painful. I have dark hair and light skin. I ended up selling it for much less than I paid. I actually had the large version and the portable version. I was wondering how the Ulike compared and if it really did much for hair removal. I'd much prefer to be able to do this at home just based off of the weird embarrassing factor alone. Although I am sure no one doing these procedures actually cares.
Hi Cassandra, can you please make a video on electrolysis for hair removal. Love your videos 🙂
yes pleeease! I had some done before covid hit. Old lady hairs in places you don't want them sucks. My technician says it's the only way to (eventually) eradicate unwanted hairs because you zap the follicle where the hair begins. Laser removal is expensive and involves many treatments with varying results depending on your hair color, skin type and normal growth cycles. I wondered if she was right or just protecting her business.
Yes, laser and IPL doesn't work for a lot of us, it needs both lighter skin and darker hair whereas electrolysis is supposed to be work on all colors
I've done IPL in clinic with three different machines.
First one was axillary and bikini, three appointments, pretty painful but it got almost every hair and I barely feel the need to shave those areas 8 years later.
Second machine i did three appointments on my legs, extremely painful but it did reduce my leghairs.
Third machine is the soprano ice, and it's a bliss, only light tingling. Three appointments in and only the thinner lighter strands are left.
One of the best things I've ever done for myself.
your hair is looking real cute today!
I have the exact same green IPL & I absolutely love it ! 🤩😍🥰
Please do a comparison between the IPL devices! x
Finally the video I've been waiting for! 💜
I'm definitely in the market for at home IPL devices. would love to hear comparisons and your vegan/CF opinion on them!
I use the Tria device. It takes forever but definitely is working.
Please do one on which device is best and for what. Ty!
I’ve tried all of these. And truthfully absolutely nothing has compared to in office treatments with a Alexandrite laser. After about like 5 treatments in any given area it’s like 90% hair free. Any hair that’s left is not noticeable but can be lasered also it’s just hard to justify the cost when it’s literally like so few hairs you could individually name them. It’s just such made a drastic difference coming from someone who’s tried every method of hair removal and had to shave at least twice a week.
my god its my goal in life that im able to afford laser hair removal someday, my bodyhair is a nightmare to get rid of and im currently struggling with the ipl. im so happy you found something that works for you!!
I would love a video for shampoos for acne on the scalp. GP recommended products that just destroyed my hair. It’s what I can’t get under control
Desperately wanting a video about waxing - particularly regarding facial hair, since you can't easily use the other modalities on areas like the eyebrows or upper lip.
Cassandra.. you always talk about shaving, waxing and IPL.. but I really want to know your thoughts about Epilation.. Please make a video about it?
Could you talk about hair removal creams and If they're safe to use?
Please do a video about which of the ipl devices you think is more effective. I’m indecisive of which one to purchase. I saw Forbes did an article on the most popular devices Braun ipl was at the top.
I would love to see a review on epilators. Pre-covid I was a salon waxer for nearly 10 years, then covid hit and even though I rarely shaved during that time, I found myself back onto the razor for nearly a year. I've just started using an epilator as a person with dark skin, there are no laser options for me. I'm interested to know your opinion on them. I'm getting used to the pain (slowly) but have noticed I get a lot of ingrowns which I never got with waxing.
I bought the $400 Braun IPL and I kinda see a difference on my chin area but there is still hair. I do notice under my arms a big difference. I have pale skin & dark hair
I am very interested in the ipl comparisons
I love my leaf razor because it is eco friendly and reusable like the safety razor but is easy to use like the disposable razors.
This! I used to cut myself with the reusable ones, but that hasn’t happened once since I changed to Leaf.
i’m a laser therapist and i provide laser hair reduction and laser skin treatments. i’m trained in the candela gentlemax pro as well as the alma soprano titanium laser machine, and laser is by FAR my favourite hair reduction method. i take such an interest in learning how these machines are designed to work, and i love seeing pleased reactions from my clients session after session. with a properly trained laser technician, you will definitely see effective results. my clients usually see results first in the underarm and the brazilian region. i actually got into this field after struggling for so long with PCOS-related excessive hair growth of my own, so i love being able to help all types of people with hair reduction.
Hi there, do different laser machines leave different results in terms of how much hair is ultimately removed & skin evenness?
Hi ☺️ Which type of laser would you recommend for PCOS? Knowing you have gone through the stuggle of PCOS related hair growth and decided to dedicate yourself to help others with the same struggle is quite inspiring :D
Can you please review Mary Kay’s skin care ingredients’ list? My mom has used these products for 20 years. She is 44. We have decent skin genes (i would say). I want to know if these products are really doing something ! I also use Mary Kay but I am not consistent.
I just watched your ipl video. Did you ever do an update on what happened after you stopped using the kensi on your leg? I’m curious if the results were permanent after that year of use. Please update us!
Please do a comparison of the two devices you have please!
If I shave with the grain then I end up with sharp painful stubble that destroys anything it rubs against. against the grain provides a smoother finish but ingrown hairs.
Removing the hair by the root with any technique means folliculitus.
I have pale skin dark curly hair and my body hair grows really fast, as a former Beauty Therapist have really tried everything.
I am now disabled and getting hairier and struggle to shower let alone keep up with hair removal.
I wish I had the funds for professional laser removal but completely reliant on benefits. XXX
My face and body want to be hairy so I guess it's a good thing I am housebound. Xxx
I prefer nair or non razor for the legs and underarm, but derma-plating the face
Hi Cassandra!
I love Neocutis, bio cream, overnight smoothing cream. I received it as a sample and am in love! It costs so, so much. I purchased on my own, once, but I cannot continue to afford. If you have not already, consider trying to direct me to a more affordable alternative ❤️❤️.
Lady, your natural body hair is lovely!
For me waxing (or epilators) causes my hair to tear up in the middle (unlike cleanly from the root) and make way more ingrown hair and also leave red patches on the skin sometimes. I have never been able to figure out why. Is it the type of hair? am i pulling it wrong? Maybe hard wax can help instead of the ones i have tried. Now i just shave or trim the hair depending on the area, especially for legs and arms trimming is way better than shaving for me as the hair grows back in like a day anyway and trimming doesn't causes ingrown hair.
Please do all 3 Videos you suggested
I’ve been considering this. I’ve done laser hair removal 13 years ago on my legs and the hair that was successfully lasered off never came back but it didn’t work on all the hairs. And I just couldn’t afford to pay for more sessions
I note you said ipl can be used for hair removal and vascular conditions, what vascular conditions were you referring to?
Can you do a video on ingrown hairs!?!?
Never tried waxing before but it looks satisfying. 🤣🤣
How about eyebrows? Can you please cover the methods to shape eyebrows?
I'm surprised laser hair removal (which is different to IPL) done in salons hasn't been listed/mentioned here - and threading for the face!! Laser hair removal is much more powerful than the at home devices which is why it can be more painful. But the comparison in results can be huge with the salon laser being so much more effective - take this from someone currently between sessions that has seen the difference. I'm not saying it works for everyone but if you have dark body/facial hair that you want to remove from light skin I would recommend speaking to a certified medical spa (that carries out laser hair removal) for information. My face breaks out after waxing (body is fine with it) and also shaving gives me ingrowns so I'm so so thankful for laser - I lasered my facial hair apart from my eyebrows which I thread to be able to keep maintain my styles - its not painful for me anymore as I totally got used to it. Threading was only painful for the first few goes but not too bad
Would love to see a video about how to relieve waxing pain!
Try aloe vera. It's very soothing.
Good morning from uk it’s 3:37 getting ready for work 😅
The most I am willing to do is thread my eyebrows. I'm sure there is a purpose for the hair everywhere, but since I'm not particularly hairy I'll just stick to the occasional yet painful eyebrow threading.
I had 10 sessions of IPL done professionally on my upper lip and belly, I thought it was very expensive considering that it didn’t work 100%. I don’t have as much hair on my belly now but it’s definitely gotten more since stopping the sessions and my face is pretty much just like it always was.
I also used IPL on face for years, but it keeps coming back.. Now I use laser, its a bit better but hair is still there (just not as visible and it doesn't grow back as quickly). In my case problem is that hair is very thick and dark and my skin is really pale and I cant not shave it between sesions. Maybe try laser or different place. Also using higher intensity helped a lot in my case.
Also they explained to me that it can be hormonal problem if it keeps growing back. Maybe check that too.
Hey Jasmina thanks for your reply! I think i was using the highest intensity IPL and I also had very dark hairs on pale skin. I didn’t need to shave between sessions (every 4 weeks), but now that I have stopped, I need to shave every week or so. Since it’s very expensive I’ve gone back to threading or shaving but you’re right, maybe it is a hormonal thing
I had a no no IPL I guess. I'm really dark and this worked perfectly on me. Annoyingly mine is on the fritz however my hair (now that I shave it off because my no no is broken and it costs a bit anyway) doesn't grow beyond the last time I used my no no. And the hair used to be super coarse and dark and now it's almost like face fuzz. I thought shaving would retrigger growth/coarseness but it hasn't affected it at all and this is like a year later now...really need to get my no no fixed or get a new one
I want to know the results of the hair growth on your leg you stopped using the IPL on. Does it go back to how it was previously once you stop using IPL?
Can you do a video discussing and reviewing Tria? It's supposedly not even IPL, but the most powerful laser at-home device
I have that. It definitely works; I have a huge difference in my facial hair. They are now thin and weak. I can see some bald patches too lol but the whole process is very slow. It’s not as powerful as the clinic one though.
Is IPL really permanent as they say? Can’t wait for your review after testing it for quite some time.
Not me going down a rabbit hole today on the Ulike vs Philips vs Braun at home IPL then finding your page… yes please, detailed video 🙏 would be incredible on that!! I can’t decide :( I’ve researched for hours and I’m exhausted trying to pick which $150-300 device I’m about to purchase! they all have varying reviews too but most seem good!
The Ulike has the cooling sapphire tech that is certified in lots of countries, so I am leaning to that-but it’s a lot more than the Braun. I’m willing to pay if it’s healthier for my body though. That is of course the goal. I was also wondering if this has been studied on the surrounding areas of the hair as being safe? for some reason it seems scary to me like it may hurt my vessels or kills tiny skin cells ? I hope that does not sound naive. I would love to hear how it only affects the hair explained if you do a detailed video as well just for the science part 😅 tysm from a fellow Bay resident !!!❤ your channel is a lifesaver and I shared with my older sisters too 🎉
I wish she also mentioned the hair removal creams
PLSSSS review on the rhode stufffff theyyyy restockedddddd
I have the Ulike too (the newer one) and it's been working great for me. HOWEVER. I had a major bimbo moment a couple of days ago where I wasn't paying attention and accidentally zapped part of my tattoo. HECK. THAT SHIT BURNED. My tattoo blistered pretty badly after that and basically became a 3D tattoo for a couple of days. It's peeling now, but I know I definitely destroyed a top layer of skin. BE CAREFUL WHEN USING AT HOME IPL.
Please do a comparison between the Kenzi and another I’ll device. Please please. 😊
Second this!!!
I’m going around my legs as well as possible with my ipl and only in few small patches there is visibly less hair 😞 and on my face ipl seems to make the hair grow faster 😖 and my hair is dark and skin very light, the device is one of the more expensive Philips ones
I'm stil waiting for the IPL continue video that you promised 🤣
Any thoughts on epilators? I might have to stick to shaving budget-wise...
I've had one for years. Only stung the first time. Really like it.
Can you talk about hair removal with PCOS/hirsutism? Thank youu
Personally, I'd love to see a video about waxing!
I have PCOS and grow a lot of facial hair, I have to wax my face every week. I keep wondering if IPL would be worth it because my Hirsutism is obviously hormone based. And by facial hair, I mean a lot, and every year more pops up. I'm growing a full-on beard! I'd love to know the differences between different devices. Please help 😭

Wow I have corse hair on my chin area and I am a person of color with sensitive dry skin. After seeing this I'm afraid but I don't want hair on my chin as a woman or be bruised and bleeding 😕
The Roseskin one doesn't work. I tried it for over 6 months 2-3x a week on legs arms and face with light skin and dark course hair. No results. Scared to buy another bc of the price.
What about hair removal cream?
I really hope you do the waxing disasters video!
I promise anyone thinking about it, safety razors are well worth it.
No mention of depilatory creams?
What about Nair?
casandra can you make a video about honest beauty sunscreen scandal plz
i don't bother shaving my legs anymore; once I turned about 27 or so, the hair somehow started growing in so sparsely it didn't seem worth the hassle.
My underarms are a whooooOOOOOoooole other story! 😄 I have dark hair & pale AF skin, so the contrast makes it WICKED obvious; I also have dry skin & sweat a lot, which I feel combine to cause me to get stinky pits & FAST. I found shaving to be a hassle, so I started getting waxed (just as covid began, of course 😄). I go in once a month now & it's fabulous! I bled from a bunch of my pores the first time, even though it didn't hurt any more than having had my eyebrows waxed?! But that only happened the 1st time & it's been smooth sailing since then. Plus, I don't have that single ingrown hair in each armpit anymore!
It makes me feel much more secure & fair less anxious, since I rarely have to worry about my hair showing, and I almost never get stinky if my pits are hairless.
My ladygarden just gets mowed once a month with a beard trimmer, and I try to plan that around my cycle. :-)
I wear shorts style bathing suit bottoms, so I don't worry about my bikini line anymore, just take care of that the same way as the rest of the garden. 😆
I have considered at-home IPL and such, but it's so easy to just pop into the salon once a month, so I haven't invested thusfar. 🤷🏻♀️
Lmaoo the blow dryer and the armpit hair. Makes it seem fabulous 😂😂 that’s the marketing the no shave girlies need.
Watching as I'm doing my shower nair hair removal nightly sunday routine lmao 😂
What do you think about epilators?
Self torture
fun fact about ipl
as a guy who likes to thinker i was curious how effective it could be on me, but i didn't want to buy one so i did some reaserch how it works and , it end up it uses pretty similar technology as oldfashioned photographic flash light. and i did had one of those from the 70's.
i half hazardly flashed my thigs with it (because that a place i have most of the time fully coveredand and nobody would know) forget all about it becaus i thought it did nothing, i didn't even shave beforhand
few weeks late i noticed my hair there is mostly falling out and all that is still there is very patchy, short and stubu, look kind of burnt or broken, and this lasted about 3 months untill new batch of hair grow back.
so i got myself a different photo flash, smaller, handier and faster, didn't do a thing.
i got myself a proper ipl machine, it is so so but nowhere as effective as that flash lamp
at this time i started to read on spectroscopy of light and that old lamp at the end of it's life produces much more xrays and uv light than a working newer unit and in ipl devices those wavelengths are filtered by dichromic screens
but i also tryed ipl gun on a piece of synthetic lether just to see what would happen and i discovered it butnt in a square after just one flash
very intersting technology, working on light absorbtion principle by the way, for visable light it is everything dark and pigmented that would get the heat and cook up for everything light it would either reflect or transmit it deeper, but i presume uv or xrays from that unfilterd flash lamp went a bit deeper and had slightly different absorbtion band so it worked better on cooking the hair but i would also be afraif to use it more often because that would also mean it wasnot clinically aproved for everyday use for a reason, if it was ipl would be much more effective

I anted to ask you if waxing our face is bad?
4RA ki Inaamon ke baare mein aur batao koi
8:34 Cass is so magnificently beautiful
I had amazing results with the IPL! I want to start using it on my face but I am currently using retinol in skincare routine and I heard it is not recommended. Does anyone know if I can still use it while doing the treatments? I don’t want to spend a year getting rid of facial hair and not using retinol 😩
Yes, you can use both :) However, you should avoid any retinol, tretinoin or chemical exfoliant products AT LEAST 2/3 days before your IPL treatment.
@@joana1747 thank you! ☺️
Cassie we want it allll
What about epilators?
Surprised you didn’t mention creams like Nair
Next update video please... What happened after you stop useing ipl on ur legs?? Did hair come back??
Yes please! We want more at home laser videos!!!!
what about epilation?
As someone who has been getting professionally waxed for over 2 years now - do NOT do it with dry skin. It's EXTRA painful and will damage your skin! Moisturize regularly for at least a few days before getting a wax, especially in sensitive areas!
I shave body hair and pluck facial hair.
Fun fact, you have a plant robot, that recognises weeds, and zaps them like a lazer! :P
