Limited Use and Poor Manual Guidance Hinder Product's Full Potential
After a few weeks of using Fidac's IPL hair removal device as directed, I haven't noticed much of a change in the amount of hair that grows back in a given area but the overall texture of said hair is much softer now. From the research I've done regarding IPL machines, hair removal is accomplished in stages and diminishing of hair coarseness is indicative of the IPL mechanism doing it's job successfully.<br /><br />The operability of this IPL device by Fidac is fairly easy to grasp, without much effort needing to be pursued but attempting to follow the provided user manual is pointless and confusing. I wound up watching a "How To" video to effectively master the proper steps in IPL and it was easier to understand because visual supports were provided. There is the added convenience of choosing the laser's energy level according to your preference, which is important because choosing the wrong level can lead to some major skin irritation and pain. As much as I wanted to love this product, I wasn't made aware of the multiple places on your body you cannot use the IPL device on, which I felt the company should disclose initially, as to not deceive customers and create an issue that could've been prevented.<br /><br />If there is anything you MUST do correctly, PLEASE follow all safety protocol in place and wear the provided protective eye-wear because those intense light emissions can cause retina damage. Due to the company failing to inform customers about areas to not use this device on before purchasing, in conjunction with a poorly written user's manual that should guide customers, I deducted 2 stars. Complete product disclosure and effective instructional guides should always be prevalent when selling a product to the masses, it's just good business and facilitates trustworthiness/
