Thanks for the update because theres literatly no youtube video that reviwes if this works longterm without shaving your hair.
Can pregnant or breastfeeding moms use it?
Round of applause for dedication I just not do this because of also my genetics I can't stand hairy anything apart from my head of course lol! It's the feeling of being in bed in shorts and moving your legs together and feeling the hairs rub together
I did get one but it's stopped working obviously a cheaper version but I was told in the leaflet to shave my legs before I did it it even came with a razor a cheap one mind you! I just wish there was a cure for hyperpigmentation 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🇯🇴🇦🇫🤲🏼❤️
I have question🙋do I need oil cleanser if I apply sunscreen?
Taking a moment to appreciate the dedication to do this for an entire year on just one leg so we can see the difference 😲
Yessssss. 👏 👏 👏 👏
👏🏼 absolutely
My OCD would definitely not be able to handle that.
@@_Anna_Nass_ mine too!
Can someone fill me in on yey or ney? I couldnt stomach 10 adds of Kenzi one after another... Sorry doll.
It’s really nice when I see a female online that shows her natural body hair growth. This made me less insecure. Thank you so much 💕
Yea! Makes me feel like my legs are normal
Agreed, I only shave when my hair has completely grown back because it’s super irritating if you do it too often but that means most of 5e time I have Super hairy legs. Which I’m fine with but especially where I live, women with body hair are shamed
Cap
@@scarahjolielaide don’t ever feel like anything about your body is abnormal, we all have the same body just different shapes and sizes 💘 body hair is neverrrr something to be insecure ab thats something society’s conditioned our minds to think is abnormal for women
A woman* 💕
I have used the Philips lumea religiously for 9 months and my hair is all gone and has not grown back ( it has been 4 years) and i was hairy!! The best thing is that i have no more ingrown hair and permanent soft skin.
What skin and hair colour do you have? Also what areas did you all do?
@@lenevanrensburg9947 i am olive skin and my hair is dark, i used it on my full legs, bikini line, arms and pits, it's all gone.
I used it on the face although they provide the attachments for it i was a bit nervous. I did a few times on the upper lip and it is much less visible but not gone because i was not as diligent ,I should give it an other go this winter.
My daughter (20) did not get the same results,she is very pale with dark hair. She still gets regrowth but thinner, slower and fewer, but most importantly no more ingrown hair. I hope that will help you.
amazing results! i have also olive skin and i am very hairy with dark hair, which Lumea did you get? So glad it worked for you and your daughter as well!
what does "religiously" mean? do you mean "regularly"?
@@someonesince1997 it's slang and basically means 'a lot' or 'Consistently' so yes same meaning as regularly pretty much
I've been using my Kenzie for about 6 months, not only do I have a drastic reduction of hair, but also sun spots & freckles. I've heard it helps the appearance of strawberry legs too. Love your content!
Do you mean it reduced sun spots or enhanced them?
sherrell - so happy you mentioned this - when i put on fake tan the brown spots on my legs are horrible - not so noticeable without tan but can you tell me more about how the sun spots reduced?
@@jude8602 it took about 3 months of using it weekly, but my sun spot were almost completely gone after that. I had IPL done on my face in office, & found the results took about 2-3 times as long, but the results were eventually comparable.
Angie at HotandFlashy also found that this greatly reduced sun spots -- has a nice video on it.
@@jude8602just and fyi you’re not supposed to use these devices on fake tan, whether it’s been done at home yourself or professionally like a spray tan. They say it drastically reduces the effectives
Hi Cass, we talked about it in the live chat but I'll leave it here too... I bought it right after your first video, used the code too, so thanks for that. I used it EVERYWHERE. My arms and legs are definitely improved, other parts show less progress, face is also responsive in some parts more than the others, as in mustache good, chin hairs not so much. I'm still on it till I'm silky smooth except for my hair, brows and lashes, I love the feeling of my smooth skin.
You had questions that I didn't manage to answer before live ended, so let me know if you wanna know more about my experience. Also, I started off using the goggles, but found that the process took so much longer with them and I started procrastinating, so I decided not to use them and just close my eyes and look away lol.
So you don’t have to shave anymore? You’re completely hair free? Causeeeee sign me up 🙃
@@moonmaiden4197 it's not 100% so I still shave for the IPL, butttt I can go longer without it being noticeable. And I have the same "line of hair" phenomenon Cassie mentioned, clearly there were places I kind of skipped, just yesterday I figured a solution, shave an area where hair still grew then immediately IPL it, then move to the next one, so I actually target the right areas. And I had very visible strawberry skin on my legs, definitely improved by a LOT!
@@NahlaAnwer thank you for the reply :)
@@moonmaiden4197 of course! It does take longer than 12 weeks though. Like, underarms and bikini are noooo where near gone, there are small patches of hairless skin, but I think I still have a LONG way to go.
Love this video and your dedication! I've been using the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 IPL for 6 weeks and I am obsessed! I decided to go with the Braun brand because it was the only one that was FDA approved.
I have had it for over a year and love it!
Me too!
Me three! I've been super bad at keeping up with the monthly top ups and still really impressed!
Me four. It’s the best
Does braun Device work please tell me 😭
The fact that you had the confidence to show your real hair. I could never! Often girls come on UA-cam testing shaving/waxing products and their skin is bare and I'm like..are you for real now?
i have pcos and hirutism. im very embarrassed of my overly hairiness so i was really happy to see her legs as hairy as mine . alot of other youtubers dont show how hairy they actually are when reviewing ipl stuff
The dedication, a whole year *chef’s kiss
I bought an ipl 3 years ago, i was sick and tired of shaving every day and it was very dark and coarse hair. after 6 months of use I no longer needed to shave, it started growing back 2 years later, but very soft hair. I think you are not supposed to use it on your face because your skin react to sun exposure after ipl, like I got white spots on my legs for a year because of it.
I’ve heard this said so many times and never understood it.
Hearing you say it finally made me understand. Basically your hair has to be darker than your skin for it to work.
Got a kenzzi ad right before this vid. Nice timing! :)
I love my Braun silkexpert IPL. It’s much better than these ones purchased online. I used it for like 12 weeks and haven’t had to really do it in almost a year and I’m 90% hair free.
Since this video is one year ago.. How is your leg right now?
Love it only honest review I found on youtube after watching thousands of videos!
After this video I may try to use this as I was scared af 🥺 to try it
Thanks cassandra for giving me confidence to use this
* Used my sister's once on my hand and my hand is so smooth and doesn't have that much of hair growth now😊
I did IPL in clinic and didn't shave every time after a treatment but left it to fall on its own or used the satinelle (you're supposed not to use them but hell, I'm thorough) and the results were VERY good. Even with clinic treatment I have them growing stronger on my sheen, ankles and knee caps because those are the areas that resist treatment. It grows back a bit, but it's far from what it was originally.
wear the protective glasses please
when i was 20 i lived in china, taught in a a boarding school with 15 other girls, they had no razors ANYWHERE i had to have them sent to me from Canada. we had public showers, and i never showered with the girls but one of them saw me shaving and when i got back to the room we shared. one of the girls said "I thought you were like me, and she showed me her body, with no hair anywhere." I was so jeally and thought *imagine if we lived more natural like they did in china, maybe over time more people would naturally have no body hair.
Omfg! First time viewer. You are a riot. Absolutely love this.
The add for this "Kenzzi" just played before this video
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!! I ordered the same product about a year ago and have only used it a few times. Definitely will try and do it more often or consistent since watching your video. You’ve made me feel more at easy and I thank you!
Try nood next please!!! I want to see how the two compare and I'm soooo suspicious of a lot of other UA-camrs.
I'm so curious where you got your butterfly necklace from! It's beautiful
Has anyone got any feedback using braun pro 5? I saw many negative reviews about Kenzzi, and Lumea seemed to be a bit heavy and big-shaped, so i went with Braun.I bought it two days ago and now I'm anticipating to use it, I've got olive skin and coarse black hair. Many thanks in advance to whoever takes some time to reply, i will really appreciate it! 🌸🌸🙏
I've had laser a couple of times and it really works. I wish I was rich enough to have it every month!
I have RPL device by a different brand and it cost £179 300,000 flashes and it has brown back slower but not stopped it yet..
Yes girl I do electrolysis and that’s what you have to do for hormonally sensitive areas
I love you and trust you with everything!
People with darker skin are blessed with little to no body hair
You are literally the only person I’m trusting on this.
Same!!!
Omg same
Same!!!!!!
This is true of most things
Read reviews first. I was looking for a cheaper 2nd IPL machine after Philips Lumea for my Sister. Kenzie had bad reviews online. Bought the 2nd at Costco at £245 GBP
Apologies of this has already been mentioned - but DO NOT USE THESE DEVICES IF YOU HAVE TATTOOS!!! Doing this treatment over tattoos can cause burns and completely destroy the tattoo 😵💫
Great to know!!!! I was curious about this, but I have tattoos on my legs and feet.
I accidentally went over my ankle tattoo once. Holy heck. Can confirm.
@@jerry-maybayer6588 thank you!!! Razors it will be 😂😂
100%. I was getting professional laser done and it tapped on my leg tattoo once and it was so painful! Avoid tattoos!
You can use if you have tattoos just not on the tattoo!!
"The best candidate would be someone with light skin and dark hair"
*My pale ass with dark bushy hair* HELL YEAH
Bought this 3 weeks ago, I'm trying it on myself, my 18 year old daughter and the neighbor😁 Every Sunday we all meet and I do the pits of everyone. Haha, so I'll keep ya posted.
This is so cute lol
Don't use the device the three of you at the same day, that will damage the device
@@hmhm2970 lol no it doesn't
@@1imaginems as u like
@@hmhm2970 it works by flashes each unit comes with a certain amount of flashes approximately 10,000. Most people do their whole legs and their whole body and we're literally just doing the armpits of three people which is like a quarter of the amount of flashes you would do on a full body each day. So, I'm confused on how it would mess it up in any way? Please explain
I have PCOS and one of the side effects of it is that I have hirsutism (excessive hair growth) - literally everywhere. I personally purchased a Philips Lumea prestige IPL (250.000 light pulses shots) - I am really happy with the results so far, my hair grows back slower and it's getting thinner. My armpits are so smooth and no sign of hair there!
Is it better than kenzzi? I think its more expensive
@@zanibyaqub268 Philips is more expensive, but their technology is superior. Braun also has a great IPL device (still very expensive though) - I prefer investing money in something that lasts longer and I also trust more these brands and their technological innovations.
Ok I really needed to see this review. Thank you
@@MB-wt3ei hi. What's your fitz Patrick type
@@paushali2401 hi! I’m type 2 and I have black hair. So I knew that the device would be suitable for me.
Thanks for reviewing this ❤️ If you guys do your due diligence, find the skin genic ipl. Goes around hundred.
My partner and I discovered you a week ago and we are f***ing addicted to your videos. The enormous amount of knowledge you possess and share with your audience is mind blowing! Love the science behind all of your reviews. We are now trying to catch up with all your content 😉
Welcome to the butterfly community! 🦋🖤
I used the Phillips Lumea back in 2012... didn't finished the treatment but almost 10 year later I have like 20 hairs on a leg and 30 in the other.
A tip was to get a white eyeliner and draw lines on your leg to avoid getting patches
Seems like alot of work.
@@terintiaflavius3349 drawing the lines? It doesn't take much...the whole process took me less than an hour. It was worth the time investment
Good idea
Can you please explain what the white eyeliner is for?? I have no experience with ipl, thank you!
@@melodym2871 you get a white eyeliner and draw parallel lines from ankle to knee the width of the laser removal window, to make sure no spot was missed. So you place the device at the top or bottom of your leg and slowly move it keeping it between the lines.
The Philips lumea was life changing, hair is literally gone in most areas the only thing is you have to stay consistent with what the apps schedule is , got mine on sale and plus my student discount was a bargain.
Same!
Where did you end up getting one from? I’ve been looking for a deal on the philips.
It really is. It works the fastest on legs i just get lazy but starting to see patches. Phillips lumea is great.
Mine was cheapest at Costco on offer. £245 inc VAT- GBP Bought the 2nd for my Sister. Barely remove any leg/arm hair & have only slight hair here & there underarms. I have PCOS & warm Indian skintone
Sun ? Beach ? Can you still get a tan ? Can you sunbathe ? Any experience ? Help with some advice, I love to be at the beach all day long.
I love how you’re one of the only UA-camrs that tells the brands that you’re gonna show the REAL result. Also, you’re so informative and actually care about us spending our money well✨🙏🏽love u for that.
I agree. So many people would rather get endorsements and money over having integrity and telling the truth
Great review ❤️ I bought the skin genics ipl, it was literally the same device but way less on the pockets.
I literally did the same but it broke within 2 months although i did notice a difference. But no returns or warrantys🙄
@@kennedycourville3140 I got my IPL from them too. 3 months in so far no issues and noticing very good results 🙌🏽
Sameee been using for 1 year and forgot what shaving feels like. Good IPL. I got a few more items from them as well.
Thank you
It’s funny how life goes bc I’m a very hairy girl bc of PCOS & maybe even my Mexican genes so I was looking into laser treatments but I came across your video & you are my absolute favorite UA-camr & when it comes to truthful reviews, I can always count on you 💜
Update: I just received my Kenzzi but it’s defective & I’m so sad I really wanted to start using it already & it won’t turn on properly 😢💔
Hey! Do you take any dietary approaches to your hyperandrogenism? I also have pcos. Trying to manage the symptoms and struggling.
I have pcos and on laser hair treatment for a year, I love it! But they said that my hair will probably grow back because of my hormones :( but I can have a couple of sessions in a year to keep them away!
@@kathrinat9824 No girl, I don’t. I definitely should but idk what to do or where to start 😔
@@kathrinat9824 I have pcos and going plant based is what worked finally. Most of my symptoms are gone. I lost almost 120 lbs, got regular periods now, my acne is gone, my hormones test normal. But the stupid hirsutism has not changed. That’s why I’m here watching videos like this.
@setapartremnant it worked for hirsutism? that's pretty much all I have left now. I don't know that I could do keto being vegan
Regarding how long the results last: I bought a Flash & Go years ago, back when they needed replacement cartridges (then they came out with one that would basically last as long as the device). I have dark hair/fair skin, and it worked really well for me. It cleared out the dark hair on my forearms, leaving behind just the fine blonde ones, and got rid of almost all the leg hair. The last stragglers grow back so slowly and fine, I shave them once or twice a month. It’s been at least eight years and the results have held up. The hardest hair to get rid of (besides the knees, lol) was the underarm hair. I had to keep working at it, and finally got rid of the last little patches after being lazy with it for a couple of years. “Fun” fact: the smell of burnt underarm hair and scorched underarm odor (despite daily bathing and deodorant-does it live under the skin or something?) is-memorable 🤢
Do you perform maintenance flashes? So I mean use the device 1-2 times a year to keep the hair away.
And don't worry about the odour, it's very normal. The bacteria and body fluids sit on the surface: if there's hair - they will sit on that, if there's no hair - then they will sit on and in the skin (whether it's pore openings or even in between the "loose" upper layers of keratinised cells). I can imagine that extra "spice" when it's burnt though haha
@@Black.Spades I don’t really do any maintenance zapping. I probably should, but the leg hairs are so scattered, slow-growing, and hard to see that I tend to ignore them until they get long. I used to have to shave every other day in the summer, so it’s easy to live with the strays.
Agreed with the burnt underarm kinda smells🤣 IPL really does help. I recommend it 100% for compatible candidates. It definitely lessens facial hair also...especially for those struggling with fast growing facial hair.
God i so agree with what you said about it taking forever to reduce the armpit hair, and the smell! I never had smelly underarms and since sometime, i started smelling really, idk, spicy(?) in there? I researched online and just thought I was eating crazy amount of garlic. Nothing seemed to help. Then bam! I stopped using IPL for a while, and the smell was gone too. It's been like 2 months for me, hope it works faster for me, because having to shave every week and not being able to wax and have smooth skin for atleast a little long is starting to get difficult now as I've got thick hair in my armpits that are prone to getting bumps.
@@surabhisharma6608hi how is it now? do you think the benefit of having less to no hair in the armpit outweighs the cost if having a burnt smell armpits?
Hi!! I am a brownskin girl and I've been using the Kennzi for almost a year now and I can say that it really does work for me and my skin tone too with a few adjustments I've made to make sure everything works out fine.
My hair is black and I'm def not lightskin more like a tad lighter than a milk chocolate Hershey bar. Like a Fitzpatrick type 5ish.
I will say that level 3 is the safest, highest level for my skin. 4 or 5 seems risky so I haven't tried it tbh and its recommended to not go over 3 for my skintone.
My hair starting out was very thick and very dark, growing back literlly within half a day after my lst shave. But now I notice my hair seems alot thinner to the point that it's like thick peach fuzz. I have also gone longer without shaving because of the slowed hair growth. I kinda fell off of using my Kennzi every week for that reason but I'm getting back to it. But honestly the difference is undeniable and I'm so happy I don't have to be excluded from cost effective long term hair removal due to me skintone.
You are a doll for this vid Cassandra, giving us girls something (more like someone) to trust 🤌🏾💕
Thank you for sharing! Fellow brown skinned girl and wasn’t sure if I could use!! ❤️🍫
Same, thank you for sharing! Definitely didn’t think it could work on brown skin. Glad to hear there’s an option for brown skin!
Can you use kennzi to get rid of facial hair?
Thank you for sharing, please, did you use on the face as well?
Cld you use this for your chin?
3:52 No wonder she gets bumps and cuts, who even shaves like that ??
I love mine! I used to have multiple hairs per follicles and since I started it has slowed that and the growth. I unfortunately made the mistake, upon the first try, of going over the tattoo on my leg...oops! It was uncomfortable after and raised my tattoo for a few hours. Otherwise it's great, for the short time I have been using it.
Do u have an update for us? 😊 How are the long-term results?
1 year later. Did your hair grow back on your leg or was it semi- permanent???
I do a session once a month and my hair has NOT grown back. Permanent if you maintain, totally worth it.
I’d love to see what happens with your hair when you stop! It’s the one thing holding me back from buying- I want the results to be at least semi permanent to ideally permanent if I’m going to invest in a tool like this.
Just FYI even laser hair removal in office isn’t permanent… once you’re done with your series of treatments you still have to go in to keep up results (just less often) or else the hair eventually grows back… just want you to know because I didn’t know this when I started laser removal… Electrolysis is the most permanent method
So a year later… what is the verdict? Did the hair stop?
I used the Kenzii (regularly for a bit and then not so regularly) and I noticed that I have bald spots on places on my legs and the hair definitely feels softer. I also noticed that once I did wax it seemed to be significantly less uncomfortable
Ok here is my experience: I used this for over 6 months and honestly my hair grew slower and almost to the point where they didn’t grew back at all. But here is the thing : after 5 months of not using it EVERY SINGLE hair grew back and the “growing speed” was the same as before the “treatment”. Now I’m back to where I was before. So I’m letting you be the juge. Yeah it “works” but you’ll have to use it forever for it to not go back to its old state.
Sorry for my bad English, my mother tongue is French.
How many times do you have to use it, for upkeep, though? Like, if it's one treatment every 2 weeks, it still might take up less time than shaving. 🤔
@@Acidfunkish it will take less time than shaving , and you eventually wont have to shave all the time the more consistent you are. Youll probably have a few stubborn hairs but thats it. It will save time and money.
That's actually true, I've done clinic strength laser treatment. After a year, my underarm hair grew back. So, to conclude you have to touch up every year. So nothing is really permanent.
@@stellamatutina1697 I have done laser hair removal and have had permanent results. Costly but works.
The same is with epilating for me,my hair grows back slower snd sparser .I used to shave every 4-5 days the most and now after two and a half years i use the epilator every two-three weeks.In the two weeks mark it has grown back a lot but i dont care anymore if my hair shows unless it is very long(thats normally the three weeks mark for me) It doesnt also help that i have a lot of hair and all of it is 99% dark,like in the video my three weeks hair is like her hair when she shaved it after a long time.But always after i stop using my device in about 2-3 months the hair has completely grown back and i am back to bear mode
I've used Braun pro 5 IPL. Naturally my hair grows slowly after I shave. Normally it takes about a month for my hair to grow. With IPL, it took my leg hair almost 8 months to grow back but thinner. That's where I grabbed my IPL and zapped them off. There are few spots where hair never grew back not sure if that's also permanent.
I have the same Braun and it’s amazing. The cheap brands like kenzi take forever to start seeing results. Anyone interested in IPL should invest in a higher quality machine like the Braun or I think Phillips makes a good quality one as well.
@@RR4711 I've bought Philips before wasn't as good. Returned the Philips and got myself the braun instead.
I have had mine for 1 year and love it!
I just bought a braun one. Do you know if it's okay to use over ingrown hair pimples or by the PII left by them? I get those in my bikini line and seeing as I have to shave for the IPL... thanks, I'd really appreciate it.
@@leonamay8776 hey girl! IPL actually helps with pimples and ingrown hair. It destroys the hair follicles which will help get rid of the ingrown hairs. But, id suggest you to do your research or reach out to an expert :)
I use on my face. I bought the kenzzi after Susan yara reviewed but yours is way more thorough. Anyway I have not been disappointed. I’ve struggled with unwanted hair since puberty
If you don’t mind me asking, what part of your face do you use it on? I also have PCOS and struggle so much with dark and coarse facial hair.
@@evitacarrazco9151 girl I use it on my entire face and neck.
I'm a man and I dream of getting rid of my bodyhair for no other reason than
I WANT TO BE SMOOTH AGAIN!
thats it, fuck aestethics. I just want to not feel briskly or stubby hairs on my body.
There's another brand called erikka available in india which looks like a dupe for kenzi(looks exactly the same...), please let us know your thoughts about it!
yes please
Yes please
I was impressed by your results and I was able to get the Philips IPL through a work benefit and I have to say I get excited every two weeks when it's time to flash! I flash some of my bfs arm hair and it looked so funny
Ive always hid my legs bc im Porcelain white and my leg hairs are wiry thick and black. I don’t know how I ended up with such crazy genetics (being Spanish and white i guess), but my leg hairs are thicker and blacker than the average person. Even after shaving or waxing you can see the hole where the root of the hair used to be thats how porcelain and translucent my legs are. I NEED THIS….
You know most Spanish people are white, right? Most have brown hair yes. But most are white. Especially during winter.
@@dutchik5107 most I’ve seen are brown, but few I’ve seen are white. I have black brown hair too.
@@dutchik5107 It depends. Most Spanish people have medium skin tone (they're not tan but they're not fair), and it also depends on the region. In the northern parts Spanish people are paler and a lot of people there can't tan at all, as you go south, people are naturally tanner or they can tan easier. Even with that, Spanish people rarely have fair skin (they are white but not as pale as someone from UK, for example), even in the north.
@@junglalii i know. But you cannot tell me they are not white. I am pale as hell whenever I go to Spain. I am also pale as hell in the netherlands. But tanning a bit and not being ghost pale because you live in a place with loads more sun, doesn't mean you are not white.
I've been to Spain many times. Even had a 2 year relationship with a half Spanish dude. Going to his town and seeing all his friends in Spain. I've been in Spain. I've been to the North. Valencia region and mallorca. Not to southern Spain, but the complexion of people is probably the same as in southern Portugal right? Cause I have been there.
@@dutchik5107 Of course, people in Spain are white, I guess the original comment meant she's pale? In Spain white is blanco, which we use to say that someone is pale (we also use "pálido" but that's more formal). I'm sorry if my comment was misunderstood, of course Spanish people are white
Never thought I would be considered an ideal customer for my Casper white skin and black as coal leg hair, but a win is a win. 😂
For PCOS & Hirsutism. Try drinking spearmint tea, with natural/dried okay spearmint leaves. Boil then steep for five minutes (cover the cup of tea) and drink plain as quickly as possible (not too hot so you don't burn yourself). Twice a day. It really works. I did it and it helped. You have to be consistent and keep doing it.
Have you noticed anything going on with your legs other than effecting the hair? Does the kenzzi for instance, affect freckles, small moles, hyperpigmentation or telangeictasias/dead end capillaries?--also, should you look away from the light or wear sunglasses? Or is it safe to look at?(ok you covered it)
IPL Devices will burn your moles and (maybe freckles if dark enough) Which is why its dangerous for dark skin tones to use. I'm not sure about anything else but in the video she said she looked away sometimes and not used glasses so idk.
@@blueyblue5831 do you know if it's safe to use an at home IPL device over an ingrown hair "pimple" / irritation or by the PII left (the discoloration)? I recently bought one and can't find the answer anywhere...
@@leonamay8776 just skip the pimple, clear out the ingrowth and let it heal and then use ipl on it. Burning a whole big excess of hair curled up in the ingrown follicle will likely just irritate the pimple and make it bigger.
I was with you the whole time til you said black skin 😢😅😂😂😂😂 black isn’t a skin tone outta pocket lmfaooo
Damn girl thank you. It's hard finding UA-camrs as hairy as me but lately I've found some and I'm so happy. Although this isn't a product I will get, I'm black, it's nice to see the results for when something comes out for my skin tone.
Thank you so much for giving information on how IPL works on people with dark skin
I had clinical ipl done (on my underarm area and sides of my face) and would generally recommend a maintenance session about once a year once you have 80% hair reduction. It worked so well for me so I'm interested to try this for legs, bikini line and arms. Amazing!
How many treatment session did you need to get rid of your underarm hair? I’ve been using the Kenzzi for 2 months but my underarms are resistant and am considering switching to clinical ipl to see better results, but it’s pricier
So, I did in-clinic laser hair removal about 5 years ago and I will say that I have not been back for any touch ups since and the hair is still completely gone. Not even a shadow. I do have a few hairs that have grown since but I just pluck them as it is not even worth paying for another treatment to remove. I am Spanish so I have very dark body hair and it’s mind blowing how much of a difference it made. I started doing other parts of my body but I had to stop because of the expense and the time commitment. If you can afford in clinic laser hair removal, I would highly recommend. I will admit it was painful, but the clinic I went to offered numbing cream and cooling air to minimize pain. Hope this helps somebody who’s curious about in-clinic laser hair removal!
Please upload an update video about wether or not your hair grew back after you stopped using it.
I got a $50 version on Amazon prime day. I'm extremely surprised by the results! I have to shave my legs every 2 to 3 weeks! My underarms and bikini line are taking a bit longer tho. I have to shave those about every 7 to 10 days. Not bad for 50 bucks!!
Do you have issues with facial hair? I want to get one but I don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars right now. Which one did you buy for $50.00 please?
So, does the hair grows back once you stopped using this IPL device? Is it permanent hair removal?
Yes it grows but slowly, it's not permanent you have to do touch ups.
I have type 1 skin. I've been using the Tria, which is actual laser rather than IPL. On the bits I've done, it has had lasting results. It did my hands a few years ago, and all the visible hairs have completely gone, but if you look really closely under a bright light, you can still see some really fine transparent hairs. I've also managed to clear my ankles and maybe about 30% of the hair on my lower legs. The big disadvantage of Tria over IPL is it takes a lot longer, about 20x as many flashes to cover the same area of skin, and I think it is about twice as long between each flash.
Can you do a video on the Fitzpatrick scale and how it's used in skin care? Also, how can POC can use it for products and procedures?
“The ideal candidate is someone who has dark hair and light skin”
*looks at my very dark hair and incredibly pale skin*
For once I can be happy I’m more vampire/ghostlike than tan… let’s goooo
We're really lucky to have you Cassandra. You have no idea how much you impact our life. You literally make people's life better. Never forget that you are amazing and really special to us.
can IPL be damaging to cells or skin? the fact that it kills or damages the hair enough to stop it from growing kind of concerns me
Hey cassandra! please give us an update on the leg. Has the hair started to regrow or are they still scant? and what about your armpits?
What you have to say is very interesting, but your glottal fry is very distracting 😮
Oh, another question: I saw that the kenzii had a “combo” that comes with a filter for acne and one for fine lines. Would you recommend using those? i don’t understand how this would work….I was thinking for my daughter that had bad acne, however she’s on acutane right now…
How did i get here i wanted to remove the seasoning from my cast iron
Bought this device after seeing your video. Did the exact 12 procedures before the summer started. My hairs are not completely gone, but I can go for a week or two without shaving, which is still amazing relief! Can't wait to proceed with the procedures, I am sure it would have great results
will there be any updates on this ? i saw this video when it came out and am now really wanting to start ipl but I have been waiting to see if the effects last
Did you use it once a week? Thanks for all you effort for helping people :) I can’t say enough to show my appreciation
I bought philips lumea a few years back. 95% of hair from legs seems gone forever, but every once in a while I shave those 5%. But they grow ultra slow, ant the amount is so small that i just forget them. Its nice to finally have no ingrown hair and 0 lazer cuts. Friendly tip for those who is choosing a device, take with a cord not a chargeable... Had both and it was so inconvenient when you forget to charge it, and it takes a few hours, or your battery runs out in the middle of the process.
So is this basically the same thing as this Phillips ILP thing? I originally wanted to buy that:o
PALE SKIN DARK HAIR PRIDE🤩
It’s not the same. The cheap brands like kenzi takes a lot longer to get results. With a high quality brand like Phillips or Braun you get results within a month then it’s just maintenance once every few months. The time factor makes it worth paying a bit extra.
@@RR4711 thank you so much for clarifying!
With the money back guarantee they will charge you a "reshelving fee" so you won't get all of your money back
LUX Skin has the exact same one for waaayyyy less. They always have sales as well, and yes, it does work. I have used it on my under arms and I can count the number of hairs I still have growing. They are stubborn. Anyway, get the less expensive brand. Other places are over charging and I couldn't believe anyone started shilling an expensive version of the one I bought at $59 (on sale). EXACT SAME ONE! Save money.
they all are from aliexpress they are dropping and putting their name on it. search the ipl up on ali express it’s like 28$
I bought an IPL thing that was like less than half the price of that one and I did it over winter and stopped during summer (cause I was afraid to sunburn my legs since it makes that area more sensitive to the sun) and it has held up very well over summer and you can see the patches where I was more diligent vs the ones I sometimes missed.
Which one did you use?
@@jasminejanneth6857 Proficare IPL 3024. caught it on sale for 70€
@@dledee thank you!!!!
Unfortunately, this company has several reports of people getting products that were not as good quality as the ones being given to content creators. This has been a problem with several companies.
Buyer beware.
First of all, you are A CHAMP for dedicating yourself to this study for an entire year! I watched your initial video last year before I bought my own IPL device, and for that reason paid extra close attention to my ankles and knees. The hair on my ankles has now permanently stopped growing back!🎉 I’ve also had INCREDIBLE results on my underarms. I am fair-skinned with course, thick, dark hair, and had been waxing for almost 15 years because I felt I had no other options. Having been raised by two cosmetologist parents, I was skeptical about this device, but thought the discount code made the product worth it if it was effective. I honestly haven’t even been that consistent, and my results are unbelievable. I’m SO HAPPY I don’t have to spend 3-4 hours waxing every 5-6 weeks, and for that reason alone this product has saved me LOTS of $$ over the last year. Thank you so much for your incredible, entertaining, candid, and super informative videos!! They’ve really made a difference in my skincare. I consider you an authority figure and generally check your videos first before trying new products and devices. 💕
Have you tried it on your pubic hair? How does it work there? Is it completely smooth now? How often do you do maintenance?
did anyone else flinch cuz they weren't wearing glasses and then realised its just a video so it's fine
I bought this because of your reccomendation and kept up with it for 4 months on a weekly basis and during that time I did notice that my hair definitly did grow back slowly on my legs and arms.
I did it on my underarms as well, but it that progress was very slow.
I unfortunately stopped the IPL as I couldnt keep up with it and the hair hair does grow back for sure.
One thing I noticed was that my Kenzii device became overheated everytime I tried to use it, it didnt burn my skin but it was just too hot too hold so I had to keep stopping and let it cool down, which was super annoying.
We need an update!
Four years later, the hair that went away after IPL has not come back. I went to the salon and got 4 sessions of IPL, which got rid of around 40% of hairs. I doubt that it will all come back later in life, because usually, with age, we get less hairy.
Might consider this for my Brazilian so I don’t have to pay for waxes anymore but idkkk
Here in Vietnam in salon IPL is super popular and it is known that the effects don’t last forever so the salons offer a lifetime warranty where after you finish the 8-10 sessions, you can come back like every 3 months for retouch sessions so yeah don’t expect long term results, you need to keep using the machine for the rest of your life pretty much :D But as time goes by you should be able to use it less often
I'm a Fitzpatrick 1 and laser hair removal worked for me: I have the palest of pale skin, but dark(er) body hair so the contrast was still there to make it work.
Basically all the melanin my body could muster goes into my hair, and absolutely none for my skin!
Is there a follow up video about if it lasted?
I've only known about you for like 2 weeks but im already in love with you and what you are doing.
A+ for your work ethics and impact gurl!
Thank you for doing this!! I have had salon treatments (4 years ago) and after 8 treatments (on my armpits and bikini area) I thought it worked, but after two months my hair grew back. They suggested I needed more treatments. Unfortunately after 12 treatments the hair still came back. I ran out of money so I stopped the treatments. What a waste of money... I really wanted it to work, so I might try it again in the future (somewhere else or with kenzzi) when I have more money to spend. If kenzzi keeps the hair away, then I will probably buy it.
It happen the same thing to we. I won a contest of 10,000$ on internet and 1 year later it all grow back, same as before :( Now I don't know what to do. I want to buy a home device, maybe an epilator... have you bought something ? Thanks !
Thanks for the great vid. Did you make an update on it? Did the hair grow back on that leg?
