Review (4/5): So far seems to be working. NEED TO START ON CLEAN SHAVEN SKIN
So far I’m finding this easy to use and seeing some results.
I’ve never used a product like this before, so I started at the lowest setting. It doesn’t feel too hot at all. I felt a little something, like prickly or zapping, but it was very light and didn’t bother me or feel uncomfortable.
To use this, you shave and clean the surface hair FIRST. This says that it’s a “hair removal machine,” so it can seem confusing, like you can have hair and use this and it will remove the hair away AND inhibit it from growing back, but that isn’t how it says to use it. You’re supposed to start on a clean shaved area. Wear the glasses and turn it on to the level you want. You place the lighted part perpendicular to the skin.
For how often you use the machine, it states you can use it once every 2 days and adjust it based on your needs.
For results, it says many customers see good results in 6-12 weeks. It states that in the first few weeks you will still see some hair growth. At 8 weeks you will see a reduction in hair growth. It says that this is because many hairs may still not have been treated during their growth phase, so it’s important to continue weekly treatments with the machine. After 12 weeks, any remaining hair seen should be finer and lighter. You do continuous treatment every month as needed to help your skin permanently reduce the hair.
I have noticed it seems to work so far. I think it works better in areas where my hair isn’t as coarse. Like, on my upper legs, my hair is lighter and softer there. That makes sense because it did say that different hair types will have different hair removal speeds. It makes sense to me that the more coarse the hair is, the longer it would take to stop it from growing. I feel like this has slowed the growth of my hair. I’m interested to see if it stops it completely with continued use!
Overall, I think this is good machine. It’s easy to use. It is easy to hold and maneuver. It doesn’t hurt or get too hot. I have seen some results after just starting to use it. I’m hopeful I’ll continue seeing results. If you’re looking for something to stop your hair growth, I think this is worth a try.
