![f it... i'm microneedling my scalp? (everything i'm doing for my hair loss) [Dec 2023]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7ZR6heYwkuQ/mqdefault.jpg)
![Lp. Последняя Реальность #82 ТРИНАДЦАТЬ ОГНЕЙ [Целая память] • Майнкрафт](/img/n.gif)
I'm using the kenzi . I'm on my 7th treatment. Once a week. It's working!! Hardly any hair growing back. I make sure I never miss a week.
I have been doing IPL for 1,5 years (not in summer!) And my armpits are hairless. Legs have a few hairs left. I am very pleased. I got a Philipis one that was on sale
Kenzi burned my skin and it wasn’t even on high. It turns out it’s from china and it’s not fda approved. So I use American laser from Best Buy. Braun. It works great.
@@NC1195_Braun it's not American.
@@imfireeSeed I mean it’s sold in America in stores and it’s FDA approved
how long did it take to start seeing resulta
I use the pink Ulike one, it is soooo amazing! But yes, consistency and being thorough is key. I take about a half hour to 45 minutes to IPL my whole body. That doesn’t include showering and shaving time. Sometimes, if I have the device on full power for a while, I turn it off and give some time to cool down. My first month of using it ate up so much of my personal time. I am going to be honest, I found it super annoying and taxing in the moment. But the results are WORTH IT!!! My legs have never looked this good. What they don’t talk about with IPL, since you’re not getting ingrown hairs as much, the overall look and feel of your skin improves immensely. I am a great candidate for it though, so super white skin and medium/dark brown hair.
Ahh yay your review gives me so much hope, mine is on it's way! I have the same hair/skin combo as you too 🤞🏻
I just got that one! (in purple) I can't wait to start using it 🎉
ive been using for a month and see mixed results. also little black hair follicles stuck beneath the skin so skin doesn't look better, i can squeeze most of them out with my nails but it's definitely not good for my skin to do that and im hoping they dont come back. havent noticed anything good happen in my lower leg area, the hair seems more raised actually but takes slightly longer to grow back. not sure what's going on or how to measure success at this point using 3x a week pulsing each area 3 times. it takes forever but want to be thorough
I just bought the pink one last night so I’m so happy to see your comment! Especially about taking the time with it!
Thank you for your review ❤ u just ordered the purple ulike today, I'm so excited
I love your honest reviews & info. Its hard to get truthful honest reviews cuz everything is sponsored these days.
Yeah. I noticed that many reviews are either very positive or only negative because of a complication with the item and their skin. For me I had no complications other than the fact it hurt a lot. The “pain free” advertisement wasn’t true for me. Felt like I was getting shocked with heat every time until my hair follicles started to get smaller and my hair got thinner. It works for sure, but it’s a process that can be painful or great depending on hair thickness, cause the follicle will depend on thar
I saw a tip if you are finding it painful, i do on my inner thighs and privates. Instead of using the auto feature, do it manually and hold the machine on each section a bit longer, the skin will cool more and then it hurts way less/doesnt hurt at all.
Love to see this topic get more attention online! One important thing is to be conscious about your own hair growth cycle, since it can definitely take way over a year for certain body areas to be really hair free, even when you IPL them weekly. Not getting frustrated when you’re unable to target these stragglers is a lesson to be learned. Knowing this is normal helps ease people’s mind a lot
Thank you!
Yeah, what I did was after a month (doing it once a week) I kinda forgot to keep doing it, it was also winter so, I started to noticed that I had 30% less hair overall, some bald spots in the middle etc. So definitely worth it.
I got the Braun one and its awesome. It clearly stated to shave first then use it.
I have Hella sensitive skin and have not had issue even on my face
I would like to know more about the Braun too
I have the braun ipl device too! And it's incredible, I have sensitive skin and have only been using it for 3 weeks and I can already see how the hair growing back slower or not at all. If you follow the directions and do it properly then you really won't have any issues :)
I've been using Braun as well for about 2 years and my experience is mixed. In many places the hair doesn't grow anymore but in many it still does. It's way more than the 5-15% mentioned in this video. And idk if there is so much user error on my side that I keep missing the same places but half of my leg hair just doesn't want to go away.
@@tinnie75 maybe your hair is too light or skin is too dark 🤷🏾♀️ I noticed a difference on my legs from when I'm tan and not tanned , because my face is lighter and my hair is so dark it works really well on me.
I do need to get the safety glasses though cause I blink or look away when I use it and I'm sure that glasses would speed up the process
@@yvonnekilla3971 Sadly no. I'm the unfortunate (or fortunate for IPL) combo of very pale with quite dark hair.
The Philips IPL hair removal comes actually in wireless, and I have been using it for years and it works wonderfully. It never gave me burns, now I'm hairless and it's the only device I have used for hair removal, so I'm pretty sure of it's results.
I use Philips IPL, too. My skin is super sensitive, pale with dark hair. Sometimes it gets warm, but I wait the device to cool down a little, and I use it plugged, because it charges next pulse faster. Now my sister is using her own Philips too and is happy too.
I also have philips Lumea, but I have the older generation, which is constantly plugged in.
It doesn't hurt anywhere except sometimes down there, but I just change the settings, and it's OK.
Same, older Lumea. Works great. Also overheats sometimes but same as you I just wait for 20min and carry on. I also got protective glasses.
I second this. I used philips IPL to remove my bushy chest hair and armpits and it didn't burn even on the highest setting, but you definitely have to shave beforehand because the burnt hair stings, gets the glass dirty and smells pretty bad. You get about 30 flashes on the highest setting when its unplugged.
Can you use it on the bikini area or the whole area (obvi not anywhere past the skin skin the lips is what I’m getting at lol not on the little line that crosses that part if that makes sense)
I don't have to shave any more after do you doing at home IPL years ago. Wish I did it sooner. Just get a reputable unit, follow the instructions, and do test spots like you would anything else 🤷♀️
What unit did you use?
What unit did u use
@@fleas.8624 Tria
@@daphnegarzarelli-lawson324 CensorTube doesn't want me to tell you 😉
Guess I'll do it backwords. airT
I finally have arms no one points out for being super hairy! 😊
Thank you so much for talking about paradoxical hypertrichosis! I am one of those few people who actually is suffering from it. I got laser hair removal done for my face and my hair grew back thicker. And ironically, the solution to remove the hair was *stronger* laser!
Try the braun one
Hi, I seem to be a similar case, I’ve noticed that hair that I’ve been tweezing around bellybutton is growing back thicker and longer, I don’t know what to do. Did the stronger laser help you in the end?
I think I'm one of those too 😢 sugar wax helped a lot but I only did it a few times last summer, I am going to try this year again (I done it professionally) and helped specially with ingrowt hair at the time. But for personal and financial reasons I had to stop
That does make sense as the hair on me that did not grow less but instead more were thicker deeper "ladybeard" hairs but my moustache and arms, hands, fingers, responded beautifully. I also get darker pigment from injuries but don't get them from my IPL knock of thing. And I used it three times on the same spot on the highest setting with naturally tan skin. So i think for the hair under my chin I need real laser. But I'm still extremely happy with the results I got from it on the other hairs, especially since I didn't do it regularly or often.
So you had a hypertrichosis from laser removal, not IPL? Happens to both?
This is a very professional video and I feel like you said more about this kind of product in this one video than the other 10 I watched combined! 😂
OMG i just bought one last week and havent tryed it this is the PERFECT moment for this video!
I've been using the Braun IPL for a while. I'm pale with super dark hair. It's been awesome 👌
Hey plss tell me its actual work or not?? I m suffering too much thick hair on my cheeks and chin area plsss help me😢😢
This is so good, on the point, not too draggy. And still detailed on the important points.
I use the nood one and like it! I'd be curious to see how it compares to others.
i've had the braun ipl for a year and do it on my whole body. I don't pluck my face at all anymore and i shave once in a while for the few random sparse hairs in some places. If it broke i would buy it again within a minute. I've had professional laser (lightsheer diode) and i much prefer the braun for many many reasons. I have PCOS and it really is the best thing ever.
How long did it take for you to really start to see results? I also have pcos and it hasn’t been very long but I feel like my hair is just so dark and course it may take longer for us cysters?
@@heather8311984I'd say i did it religiously for like 2 months and then the results were really obvious to me. so thankful for this little thing, and 500$ is a lot but for completely changing the way a symptom that is so painful psychologically for many is handled it felt like such a short time i almost couldn't believe it. I was also super sus in using it on my face and in places where it was still not the most coarse hairs because i was scared of it stimulating growth. But when i became fed up enough and cried enough i tried and honestly, what the hell is life without it. I really, really recommend it to anyone and hope it works just as good. Don't give up and be consistent, and make sure you do it in a way to not miss spots! 😊 The most i've skipped using in the past year is maybe 3-4 weeks, it was barely noticeable and didn't grow back much but all it takes is 1 treatment and it's gone again.
I also have the Braun and it’s hands down the best thing I’ve ever bought. (Aide from my sorel boots for Canadian winters lol). *When* my Braun loses its flashes, I will buy again in a heartbeat.
@@heather8311984 I could swear i answered this but i can't see it anymore... sorry if double replying 😅 I'd say 2 months weekly use? don't give up on it and be consistent, It really works undeniably for me on different thickness of hairs! I have dark hair and medium toned skin (half black), so it could work even better/faster on lighter skin. It gets better and better, starting to see results even the tiniest just means it's working and just the beginning not the most it can do 😊
@@Yazzer1844saaamee haha 😂 And i'm already excited to see what they come up with next! There was a big improvement between the model 4 to 5 it seems. (Sorel is smart. side eye to my uggs full of salt stain looking beat halfway through their first winter)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. What glasses should I be buying? I use the Kenzi xxx
Hi, could you maybe try the Braun or Phillips? Those are the ones we can easily buy in Europe.
Thanks for your great Videos!
I'm saving up for an at home device- I've been looking at the ulike and foreo so I'm looking forward to the updates🦋
I'm using one very cheap but I didn't get burn so i'm quite happy. I was questioning if it's gonna work but you responded on all of my questions. Thanks for the video 😊
Product name
Please talk about the Nood! I’ve been getting Instagram ads like crazy and am so close to giving into the temptation.
Thank you, i knew there was a difference between ipl and laser, but not what it was. Drop shipping is kinda a thing for everything you can find online, though it’s more of a safety concern with something like ipl than it might be for other products. I even had someone drop ship some of the handmade items I sell in my Etsy shop! White labeling is a similar issue, and sometimes even causes more confusion/harm because the products often look more legit because they have actual branding and sometimes advertising behind them!
Hello! I have the Lumi RoseSkin one. It’s slightly different to the model you have on your video. I’m on my seventh week and it’s a MIRACLE. I’m using it on my legs, arms and armpits. It’s brilliant. If you read the manual, it clearly says you should shave first and, so far, I’m extremely happy with it!
Have you tried lumi roseskinco on your face?
Have you tried that once on your face too? How are the results?
@@adititanna5670i use it on my upper lip and the hair has started to grow back slower
@@adititanna5670 I haven’t! But it’s worked wonders on the rest of my body. 💪🏻
Does it grow back aftewards or its permanent ?
I am, and have been for a very long time, annoyed with my bikini area. I am going to keep track of your reviews .... not only can I use this but my husband could use it for his face .... looking forward to your reviews .... Annie Lou
I'm using the Silk'n Infinite, it seemed good after readong reviews and checking what I can get in my country. I recently did the 2nd treatment, so no clear results yet.
I'm using it on my legs+arms (dark blonde hair) and my bikini zone + armpits (dark brown hair) and I'm very white/pale with a litzle tan left over from my SA-vacation (waited 4 weeks before I started treatment).
I use full power everywhere except the very sensitive area in my bikini zone. There it's on 4/5.
It gets warm, but I had no burns and no redness. I followed the instructions and tested each area first going from low to high and going one down if it was painful.
I am VERY interested to see if it works on the lighter hair (I can see them when they grow longer) have bo hopes, but hey it doesn't hurt to try it
Thank you for the info on this!! Been looking into trying it
This explanation helps me understand why my hands-free cordless breastpump didn't work, 20 years ago. I was overflowing with milk yet I couldn't get milk out of this device - it just wasn't strong enough. Never should have been sold! (I bought it as a secondary pump, hoping to make use of my commute to work).
I would love to see a ranking. I have the Ulike based on your recommendation since I have sensitive skin. I love the cooling technology and haven't had a bad reaction yet after two months of use. I feel like I see Nood advertisements all the time. Love to see you try that one.
Hey if you use it on your face when you close your eyes and have the goggles on dose your eyelids still light up like you can see your eye veins
I purchased ULIKE (purple) and love it! It really helped with facial hair and leg hair!
I've been using the Braun silk expert pro 5 for about 3 years now off and on. I haven't gotten burnt and I'm really happy with the results. It's saved me hours and hours of epilating! Some areas have more permanent removal, whereas others (thicker hair) fall out but grow back much thinner within a year or so. I'd definitely say it's worth it though. I've recommended it to friends who have purchased it and like it too!
Ive had it done professionally on my upper lip and was told/warned that the hair would probably grow back in fases of hormonal change like pregnancy and menopause. Also, back then (about 10 years ago) I was told home-devices were not powerful enough and it would be a waste of my money, which has always kept me skeptical of them. I did need double the amount of ipl-sessions than what was considered average for "definitive" hair removal, Ten years later i can confirm it has grown back more than I am comfortable with, and I am considering starting again with IPL. I remember the dermatologist had to set the machine according to my skintone- and was very precise about this, but haven't heard anything like that for the home versions which leaves me questioning. Would love to learn more about these differences. Best wishes
Have a look at the Philips IPL range. Some models have smart sensors that detect your skin tone.
Did your hair grow back worse than before or the same???
Great review ❤️ I bought the skin genics ipl instead of the Ulike. Price was too good to pass by.
I used Silk'n SensEpil on my legs 12 yrs ago. It was a pretty large unit than the sleeker ones sold today and I had to buy replacement IPL cartridges. I did about six treatments on my hairy lower legs. They have been hairless since. Unfortunately, my device no longer works. I recently bought the Kenzii to try for my other areas.
OMG I just clicked on your link and bought your number one pick 😱 I've never done that before! I'm so nervous.. it's a lot of money, but I really trust your opinion. Wish me luck!
You won’t regret it! I got a cheap version a few years back and even that thinned me out a ton
I bought mine because of her! I've been using the Ulike for a couple of months now and I love it.
I'm pale with dark hair and it's been wonderful for me, I really hope you get to like it too😊
Update pleaaaaseee when you get the chance
I bought the Kenzzii on Black Friday. It didn’t sting when I zapped until I used it on level 5, it has levels 1-5. In hindsight after seeing more UA-cam reviews I wish I went with Ulike.
I use a Philips one. It's quite good actually. I used for 1 year and im happy ☺️
Me too. I think it's called the Philips Lumea. It looks like the "hairdryer" type one shown here, but it doesn't hurt or burn me at all. I have VERY pale skin and dark hair, and make sure the areas are REALLY smooth (shaving, not waxing or plucking! lol) before using.
@@ladybaabaa3294Can it use on men face and bikini area?
What goggles do you recommend? I notice depth and color, in description boxes.
I have the purple one. And it is cool 😁I do not feel anything but cold.
I use the white ULIKE IPL and its amazing. I dont use it religiously but do see significant improvements. Hair grows back thin or not at all. I highly recommend it. I bought it using a coupon and its a great self care investment.
Where did you find the coupon?
I have been using the Ulike (thanks to your recommendation!) for ~6 weeks now and have seen a huge decrease in my hair growth and ingrowns which was a big reason why I wanted to try IPL. I use it from upper lip to toes.
Can you basically give yourself a Brazilian with it?
@@kandiemakeupI just did lol. First area tested. I’ll keep ya posted if anything unsightly happens tomorrow 🥴 🤞🏼
@@NFD3122 omg please do! I'm tired of getting waxed haha
Hi Cassandra, HUGE thanks for this! So helpful. If you find the time I would be so grateful if you could answer my question: I know totally understand why tweezing, and waxing before the treatment is counterproductive (I'm a tweezer..) (Also what is really frustrating is that both products that I use - Philips Lumea and Illuminage- lists in their manual tweezing and waxing before treatment as possible pre treatment preparations). However I would like to understand why tweezing after the treatment is wrong? If the follicle is dead isn't tweezing then ok? Kindly,
Nina
I bought the 5minskin one! Been using it a couple weeks and so far so good!!
I bought an Innza IPL with cooling tip on Amazon. It plugs into the wall and the cool tip is in fact cool. Seems to work at least as well as my Kenzzi.
I JUST BOUGHT THAT ONE. Did you start on 1 ? did it burn? and how bad does it hurt 😂
i usually wax and that doesn't hurt me anymore
I tried a few zaps on each number and found that I could go up to 9 in the first session.@@on444nem
Thanks for the info! When you mentioned at the end that you need to use SPF with IPL, did you mean to apply it and then do the treatment or to apply it after the treatment is complete?
I think after because the skin is more sensitive to the sun after the procedure
Everything we needed to know as always 🥰
The Jovs Venus Pro II has cool touch. I've been using it for 6 months, and it seems to be working.
Also, you flash the Venus Pro II (or a similar Jovs model) on your image of IPL devices that don't plug into the wall. But the Venus Pro II most definitely plugs into the wall. It doesn't work without doing so.
Thank you so so so so so much for this video this was super super helpful! I've been stuck between the you like, the purple one and the Nood!! And this video has been super helpful thank you so much!
I actually have an at home laser device, the TRIA. I’ve had it about 5 years now. It definitely works, the hair on my legs, arms, underarms is over 95% gone. I didn’t start doing my bikini line until much later because it’s more sensitive so I’m working on it now. The facial hair never completely goes away because of hormones. Still over 90% of it is gone. I’m very happy with the results. Best of all I can use it whenever I want and do maintenance treatments.
I have a five year old Tria too! I’m too lazy to use it on larger areas, how much time did you take to do your legs?
@@Lily11887 Yes that put me off a little as well but the results are worth it. Sometimes I do the full leg at once and sometimes just the lower leg, and then I’ll do the thighs separately. Doesn’t take that long, maybe around 10 minutes. But the hair goes away really fast, at least for me it was 95% gone in a 5 treatments or so.
@@hk19478 wow, that’s tempting! I have many doubts about Ulike because of the 1000 ads I see everyday. I was looking into buying an IPL for larger areas and use Tria on Facebook and underarms but I think I will try your strategy and see how it goes! Thanks for replying.
Great point about the glasses , i close my eyes too😂
I've been using the purple Ulike one and think it's brilliant! I got my for Christmas and haven't zapped my legs in nearly two weeks (meant to do it last weekend but didn't get to it), haven't shaved since the weekend and the hair is barely growing so it's working pretty well there. My bikini line is slower on the uptake and I'm still doing it generally twice a week but even then my skin doesn't get nearly as irritated any more from shaving which is great to see. Plus, with that sapphire tech I don't feel anything - though once or twice I caught a sunspot and that stung a little but normally this doesn't happen. I've gone over other sunspots without issue so not sure what happened there.
Either way find this much preferable to waxing
how have your results continued? when did you start seeing real hair reduction instead of just slightly slowed growth? im using 3x week, zapping 3x each spot and doing bikini, legs, and pits, and i see some slower growth on legs (nothing amazing, plus kegs have become bumpier, not smoother in texture) but my inner thighs/bikini seem to be responding by creating these tiny little black dead hair follicles that i can squeeze out. they look like tiny pepper flakes. anyway just not sure what to expect long term, results seem really mixed at the moment
I did a laser treatment in doctor’s office in 2005, he burnt my groin area, did 6 treatments, he recommended 10 and re-treatment every year… my hair was thinner, but I would say I kept 50% of my “felt” 😅
I had professional laser hair removal done on my full legs (8 sessions) and it worked great, lasted a few years. I’m not sure if it was my weight gain or if it had just been too long since my last treatment, but a lot of the hair came back. Still not as dense as it used to be, maybe 70% of that. So I think you may need to keep doing it fairly routinely to keep the results
I love the song in your background!
So are you planning on checking out the new Ulike Air 10 to compare it to your other devices you use? It’s so advanced it’s making me want to buy it but I wondered if you heard anything about it yet!
I have the braun silk expert pro 5. I used it for the prescribed duration then got somewhat lazy with the monthly maintenance. I have started using it again now every week on the face, and alternating week on arms and legs. This is because I had much slower growth on arms and legs and have stubborn hair on my face. So I am going to stick with it for a second full session and see how it goes.
I do want to get the glasses to protect my eyes. This one does not come with one and I have no idea where to start the research and which one to buy. If anyone knows please let me know :(
Braun silk expert pro 5 ipl. Worked great on legs
Hi! Love your content. I wanted to know when exactly can I incorporate tretinoin in my skincare while using IPL? Is it safe? And when is it safe to restart?
I've been looking into this for my blonde beard and mustache lol. You mentioned light hair on fair skin would be difficult, would tinting my facial hair help ?
Also does it effect tattoos at all?
TIA ♡
I think I'm gonna save up for a device like this. I've used cream for so many yrs now but if this could stop the hair for good then great❤
I got my Kenzi for $100 on Black Friday
Is it safe to use on razor burn skin thats been previously shaved? I shaved my bikini like but of course there is razorburn and now im.not sire if i should wait for it to heal and then try it or go ahead. Love these videos! I watched them before purchasing and it helped me decide which one to get!
I bought the Diamond IPL, thinking it was the Kenzi. I had seen a few videos of a UA-camr (Kayley Melissa) using the Kanzi a few years back and having success with it. I saw the ad for the Diamond IPL device come up and I couldn't remember the name of the Kenzi at the time but it looked the same so I bought it. I've only used it a few times and not regularly or consistently enough to see results. It does get warm, so I can't stay on an area too long, and have had to shut it off for a few minutes to let it cool down when doing my legs (lots of surface area). They did include glasses and a cheap razor in the package, so that is good that they highlighted safety and the "don't wax or pluck before" part of the method. It would be interesting if you a) warned your viewers of look-alikes, and/or b) tried it out to see if it works
I get so much information from you, I trust you with my life.
I'm using the device from Braun. It's reduced the amount of hair but not as drastically as expected. So I'd be intersted to see if it's just not good of if it's because of my hair colour and skin tone.
I have been using the Philips device that looks like a gun for at least 4 years, and it works really well, I still do one session every month or so, and it is sooo much cheaper than laser ! It does feel very hot but It never gave me a burn.
I have just brought one , can I ask if you have used it for a full Hollywood? 🙈
Consider purchasing a unit. Very informative resource
I would love your your opinion and thoughts on the SmoothSkin Pure Fit IPL Hair Removal Device
I have the Philips Prestige IPL thingy. Been using it for a Couple of months and I'm pretty happy with it!
She is the sweetest. 😊
Would love to see you review a JOVS brand IPL device.
Also would love to see your ranking! I really want to get a device but want to make sure I’m getting a good one
I too, am interested in the Jovs Blackened Pro, for my face to tighten & lighten. But I'm on the fence.
I just started a week ago with using the Ulike device and I am so thankful for the videos you made about IPL, because they really helped me with the decision to start this journey 😊
Hey! I am using FOREO PEACH 2 for a while. And seeing some results. Especially my upper leg.
And literally no pain at all. Since the glass doesn't touch your skin at all. Definitely recommend it!
I’m using it too! I feel like the hair on my belly and legs are growing slower but the armpits and intimate area are still going strong, even after many treatments. 😢
I used the NOOD first and found it fairly effective but not long lasting. I purchased the latest ULIKE 10 recently ($100 discount) and I am already seeing results including the more difficult hairs. I like the cooling technology and am anxious to see if it will provide long term results. The NOOD is still working so I'm passing it off to my teenage daughter. I like that the ULIKE came with protective glasses designed for the IPL light. Not waxing or tweezing before has been key. Not an advertisement, just what I've tried so far. I wish the ULIKE had more detailed instructions on the different levels.. but it's good so far.
My hair is so resilient. I used the Kenzzi for a year and saw a 50% reduction in hair growth and a slight reduction in density on my arms and legs but nothing in the other areas. Then, I decided to go for professional treatment and got 6 sessions done. I still had hair but I only paid for the 6 sessions so I waited till I got more money and then paid for 7 more sessions a few months later. I'm on session 4 now and I still have quite a bit of hair but its definitely getting there. Some clinics will do in-clinic IPL instead of laser but I did the proper laser hair removal. Another really annoying thing is that my armpits still have hair even though I hardly had hair there to begin with. My armpits are the lightest part of my body and I have pale skin everywhere and dark hair. The Kenzzi was also pretty painful downstairs and I would rate it pretty much on par with in-clinic laser.
I would still suggest trying at-home IPL treatments because they'll work for most people. Even if you do an in-clinic laser, it doesn't get rid of the hair forever and yearly maintenance treatments are suggested so buying this device can keep you hairless forever.
Can I PAY TO TALK TO YOU? I am desperate!!! I’m so lost! I’ve seen countless doctors/ derms, etc. I’m so lost! You’ve been my clutch for YEARS.
I’d recommend you go to an esthetician in your area! I’m a medical esthetician and we can totally help
Check her website! It has a contact form. I don't know about pricing, but you can ask her directly.
I purchased the Ketch Beauty IPL device, but I need to be more consistent with using it. I wonder if you have tried this device, or could test it out? Thanks
I'd love a review on the Iluminage Touch IPL & Radio Frequency Device. It's apparently approved (& works) for dark skin, red hair & grey hair. Would love to see if it actually works & if its painful or not.😊
Please rate your IPS devices. Would like to know what to buy
hi cassandra! do you think it’s safe to use the ulike ipl on the face and also use a retinol in the same week? i have pretty sensitive and dry skin.
I’ve been using the same one as you have recommended, the u like, and I love it!! Works as good as in the clinic and I’ve saved a lot of money!! I have you to thank for!!
I’m also using the purple Ulike device. I’m 3 weeks in and the results are actually amazing!! But a down side is that it’s very time consuming if you do the whole body every other day. I would recommend splitting up the areas of your body that you’re doing the IPL on and alternate between them like this:
day 1- legs and groin
day 2- upper body (armpits, snail trail, etc)
Apart from that 10/10, definitely recommend.
Thank you, great FYI video. I’m looking to get a hair remover but didn’t know what to get. Have you ever tried the Lumivyx IPL. I didn’t see a cord but it says it rechargeable & comes with glasses.
I’d love to know what you think of it.
Please give your thoughts on the Foreo Peach 2, ive been using for the past 12 weeks and seeing results. It's super cooling, I cant feel a thing! Would love to know what you think about it!
Hi, could you please try out Smooth skin devices please. Would love to know your thoughts on it. 😊
I have the Philips lumea. I have very fair skin and dark hair. I found that it was like a stinging sensation like an elastic band flick, which for the legs was fine but the pits and bikini regions were *sensitive*. I didn't have visible burns from mine though.
Thank you for all this information. The hair on the front of my legs is dark and obvious against my pale skin, but the hair on the back of my legs is very light and honestly I don't really notice it. It sounds like I might be able to use it on the hair on the front of my legs, but not on the back of my legs.
I DEFINITELY need to know if I can use my RoseSkin as shown in their videos; on the chin- & without glasses??! HELP 📢 & Thank you!!!
I bought the Silk’n Glide a few years ago and I am happy with it. I used it regularly in the beginning but have been inconsistent last year so my hair was greatly reduced on my legs. If I kept it up regularly until now, I would be hairless (or close to it). There is no cooling feature but I had no issues (no skin burns, overheating, or pigmentation issues). It worked on my legs, side burns, chin, arm pits. Only problem area is the moustache (I can treat the corners of my mouth but that’s it. I will have to find another IPL to target the moustache.)
I’ve had the Silkn flash and go for almost 10 years now and it definitely works!!
Very informative, a lot of good information thank you so much!!
I think foreo has an IPL device. I use other devices from the brand (Luna, bear…) and they are great, so I think it might be a good one to try
FYI: "Performing treatment on an unshaved area can lead to more complications. The long dark hair lying on the skin absorbs the energy and may burn the epidermis." (p. 81) Fodor, L., Ullmann, Y., & Elman, M. (2011). Aesthetic applications of intense pulsed light (pp. 11-20). London:: Springer.
I feel like another thing people don't talk about is that even after successful treatments, the hair can start growing back over time, especially after drastic hormonal changes such as after child birth. I got laser hair removal years ago. Did 12 treatments and was extremely happy with the results, but a couple years later, I had a baby and some of my hair definitely came back. It's still way less hair than it used to be, but I might go ahead and do more laser treatments in the future
i’ve used the green ulike and had good results but it did start to grow back because i wasn’t consistent with it and probably didn’t do my treatments enough. i’m planning to start treatments again before summer but even with what it did do it grows back so much less and slower which is nice since it reduced how many ingrowns i got since i didn’t have to shave constantly. i’d highly recommended it!!
Omg! Thank you. Especially for telling us we need to protect our eyes. Wish I would have listened to you before I ruined mine.
If doing HRT please be aware does cause hair growth again. I had clinic laser hair removal for the bikini area. It did well for a little while. I now do the home hair removal. Cheaper honestly. Thanks for the review and all the information.
I have the Braun one because it was sold at target and they have a great return policy if the product didn't work.
I just bought the Silk’n. Finished my third treatment tonight. Haven’t noticed any difference yet but hopefully soon!
Updates please
Im gonna say i bought the Remington iLight machine, way before it got popular i think. Im gonna say over 6-7 years ago. I got lazy and never used it. You have to replace the light cartage because it only has a certain amount of flashes. Do like that you have to scan your skin before the machine works, if you skin doesn’t pass it wont work.
I’ve seen so much hype for the Braun Silk Expert Pro5, I bought it myself a year ago and I’ve had pretty good results as an extremely hairy French woman. It’s also gentle!! Please review it!!
I wanted to buy the Philips one. Glad I've seen this first. My skin is sensitive, think I'll search a place that's specialized with skin like mine for it... cause IPL at home seems very dangerous on those of us with sensitive skin or for those who are very light or dark skinned.
Usually philips offers 90days guarantee to try and see at least in Europe. Czech Republic to be concrete.
I just did my 3rd laser treatment this week, at the clinic. I did professional IPL a couple of years ago, it didn't really help. I have Hashimoto's, PCOS and some other hormonal issues so I have thick black hair all over my lips, chin and neck. And I truly hope this 7 laser treatment package will help. I paid almost 700 eur for it, which is a lot of money for me, and I really hope it will get rid of the majority of hair.
Do you still use the Ussera Deep shot?
