Review (5/5): COMPATIBILITY (must read)
One significant issue that this listing did not address is compatibility. IPL's are not effective for all skin and hair color types. Please research online as there are several infographics on how effective laser therapy is on each color type. This is the main reason why some reviews rave about the results and some are so disappointed.
That being said...
This is the most compact IPL device that I've tried, but it packs all the new features you are looking for. I personally have not reached the intensity where I need the cooling function, but it's nice knowing it's there when I reach that point. I do like the compact size, but wish there was more grip to the exterior. Everything is smooth and I came close to dropping the thing the first time I used it. So be careful handling it. One of the newer trends on these devices is to have the invisible screen, instead of a visible LCD screen. When you turn it on, the data lights are under the gold rectangle and illuminate to show the functions etc.
I personally have had great success with IPL devices, since I fit the designated hair and skin color. Hair hardly, if at all, grows back in the targeted areas... but it does take some time to see results. You will notice reduced grow back rates after 2 weeks, then more significant results after 4-6 months.
