Not likely to work like you expect.
Not powerful enough, slow, takes many “shots” to do anything, targets skin as well as hair, did very little on my hair unless I colored the surface hair black.<br /><br />There are a number claims in the advertising of this device that are doubtful or plain incorrect. When advertising is exaggerated or erroneous, I start to doubt all of the claims. Here is my observations and test results:<br /><br />This laser hair remover is NOT a laser. IPL Technology is not laser hair removal. IPL based systems use xenon flash lamps that emit full spectrum light. You can see the xenon lamp in the treatment window. Even one of the ad photos and the body text says it uses a quartz lamp. So obviously, it is not Laser Hair Removal even though it says so in the title.<br /><br />No type of IPL or Laser hair reduction techniques have been found that result in permanent hair removal.  At best hair regrowth is slowed and limited for 6 months to several years.<br /><br />The primary principle behind laser hair removal is selective matching of a specific light wavelength and pulse duration to obtain optimal effect on Melanin in the hair follicle with minimal effect on surrounding tissue.<br /><br />There is no information provided on the pulse duration or output power. The window on the device is rather large while the claimed treatment spot size is 3 square cm.<br /><br />There is no FDA certification for this device.  There is only FDA certification for the general process of using high intensity light for hair removal<br /><br />Not enough power to do much of anything on my hair color and skin color. Even after 8 shots at maximum power on the exact same spot the surface hair was untouched. If it can’t damage surface hair on top of the skin there is no way it is going to do anything on hair follicles under the skin. It did make my skin slightly red after 8 shots and it started to sting on the last two shots. It burnt my skin about the same time as it burnt my hair.<br /><br />I ran various tests on several different areas. It was most effective on my darkest arm hair.  I circled an area to use as demonstration with a black magic marker before I realized that the black color was the thing that made it work. Hair I colored with the black “sharpie: vaporized after several shots, even the marker on my skin vaporized and disappeared after several shots.<br /><br />Other experience:<br />The LED display is not evenly lite.  The center section is quite dim compared to the outside edges.  This makes it difficult to read.<br /><br />The tool is very slick.  Whatever I set it on it wants to slide off.  It will not stand up on its face because of the curve, you can’t lay it down because the cord comes out of the side it is stable on.<br /><br />The instructions are confusing and not clear.  You must hold down the “fire” button to get “automatic” repeat shot mode. On low power, shoots one shot every 1.5 seconds.  On max power, it is 1 shot every 3 seconds.  Very slow to treat a large area like my thigh.<br /><br />Overall, makes bright light flashes that are highly unlikely to result in permanent hair removal.  Doesn’t work on me. I won’t buy again.
