It's been 5 months and I am losing my patience
5/30/2022 - I am done with this. It has been in use at least once a week since December 28. There is no thinning no slowed growth. By now there should be some results, the hair is still back to above skin stubble within 24 hours  of shaving. After 6 months that means this doesn't work AT ALL. Zero stars.<br /><br />5/15/2022 - I have been using this once a week for almost 5 months now.  By now, I should start seeing slower hair growth and thinner hair. That's not happening.  I am sometimes zapping twice a week at level 4.  Level 5 hurts and I'm not ready for it.  It's not showing any results.  I will update this again in 2 months.  I do expect slower results but right now we're looking at NO results.<br /><br />This laser hair remover was definitely worth trying because covers a range of skin tones up to medium dark and most hair colors.  It’s an important factor as many of the at home units will only treat lighter skin tones.<br /><br />What you need to know:<br /><br />I am rating it for:<br /><br />Hair: medium, medium-coarse, coarse<br /><br />Skin:  Medium brown<br /><br />Areas:  Chin, jawline, upper lip, neck and legs<br /><br />Now let’s manage expectations:  This is an at-home product, it will not work at the same speed as professional machines for that price.  If professional sessions would work permanently in 6 months, I expect this to take double that time or a little more.  This little machine is costing less than a single professional treatment so I don’t expect it to work like my dermatologist’s monster unit.<br /><br />It is super easy to use.  I barely read the instructions (not recommended).<br /><br />The auto-zap setting is very convenient.  I prefer it to having to press the button for each inch of treatment.<br /><br />I have spent thousands on laser removal at a dermatologist that specialized in people of color skin tones.  It worked meaning that the hair fell off and took longer to regrow BUT after 6 months of treatments, I stopped and not only did all the hair grow back, but some of it also grew stronger and I got more in areas that had very little before.  Now it is very likely hormonal, and I could understand new hair growth but not in the areas previously treated over months.<br /><br />Week one, Level 1–daily treatment (not recommended).  I noticed some bald spots on my legs after use (probably from some of the hair being burned off.  I am doing it daily because I know that the mild zapping cannot and will not kill the hair root if left to a normal 4-week schedule.  My skin can handle it.  Do not take this as advice.<br /><br />I am now at week three and Level 3 – level 2 was easy and pain-free for me.  I can feel the zapping more at Level 3, I would not consider that pain.  My facial hair is still growing at its normal rate and looking the same.  I am not expecting visible results for another 3 to 5 weeks.  I am now zapping every 3 days.<br /><br />I will update this review when I have more to offer in terms of results or lack thereof.  For me, because I have so much facial hair, this is an expense I could justify whether or not it works in the long term.  It’s one of those things I had to try, because if it works, I will save thousands (that I don’t have anyway).
