Just as good as Salon Laser, at a fraction of the cost
This IPL is amazing. I have had professional laser treatments at the salon many years ago so I needed a touch up. I tried another IPL over several months with disappointing results. This unit is the bomb. It works and results for me were quick and comprable to salón results. The unit has a cooling device built in that is amazing. Zero irritation, easy and quick to use with excellent coverage. The price can’t be beat. Don’t waste your money on other IPLs. This is the only one you will need. As far as the durability, other reviews note that theirs stopped working, however, I posted a question for the seller, and they immediately got back to me and offered to resolve the problem. The problem ended up being operator error (me). I was very impressed with the customer service so not worried about the durability as the seller seems to be very responsive to any issues that may arise. Buy it. You will get the results you are looking for.UPDATE:I used my IPL on my lip, chin and upper neck area on April 19 for the first time. I carefully shaved the area. This is important because this helps the light to be concentrated on the root, which helps zap it to oblivion :)I went ahead and started at level 9 because years ago when I had treatments at the salon, my skin was able to tolerate a high setting on a professional machine, so I wasn’t scared at all. 😂At first I used the manual trigger feature until I got used to the equipment, mainly to be sure I was able to tolerate level 9. I handled it like a champ.I moved into the auto zap feature. It zaps about every two or three seconds or so. This will give you time to move the gun over slightly. I say slightly because I found that this provides better coverage and prevents missing a section.It’s been about four weeks.I have been watching my face, chin and neck like a hawk in my lighted magnified vanity mirror. Each time I check, my enthusiasm reaches a new level of joy.At this point, not only have I seen zero evidence of new growth, my skin is a smooth as …. Well, you know.Please keep in mind that different areas have different growth cycles, and there are three different growth cycles occurring simultaneously at any given time.Your face cycles through every four to six weeks. The IPL will only work on the hair that is in the growth stage.I learned all of this from the laser technician at the spa that I had treatments at twenty six years ago.I believe my growth cycle is closer to six weeks, so I anticipate needing a few more zaps in a couple weeks and probably one more treatment six weeks after that. Hopefully, only occasional maintenance treatments after that.I can’t put into words how happy I am with this IPL. I rate it 12 out of 10.The last one that I used for months was nothing but a disappointment. I wish I had found this IPL first.I will up date again in six weeks, but so far, so very, very good!!!UPDATE 2:At exactly 5 weeks, 2 days I’m seeing new growth. It’s sparse, but it’s there. This is the second cycle of the three growth phases so expect this at 5-6 weeks for the first 5-6 months.One thing I forgot to mention in prior reviews:After treatment, it will take about 2 weeks for treated hair to be ejected from the compromised hair follicle. It will seem like the hair is still growing, but be patient and resist the urge to pluck it out. It will fall out on its own.UPDATE:It’s been 5 weeks and 2 days since my last treatment, which would have been my second treatment. I couldn’t find any new growth in my regular lighted mirror, so I flipped that bad dog over to the magnified side and went on a quest to find any new growth. I am extremely thrilled to report that I found a total of 5 hairs all in one spot, and that’s it! I’m pretty sure that it was a spot that I missed on the prior treatment. I zapped those, and continued my search, but I came up empty handed. I can’t tell you how happy I am with this product.If you want to save hundreds of dollars by skipping the salon laser treatments, this IPL is for you!This IPL is at the top of my list for favorite Amazon purchases. It worth every penny spent.Ver másVer menos
