Review (4/5): SmoothSkin IPL Hair Remover seems to be working and fast, easy to use
IPL hair removal is not an immediate fix for hair removal. None of them are. There is a bit to learn before using successfully, so do some homework beforehand and read the manual. And it's important to know it's not for every skin type nor is it a "permanent" fix. You will have to use occasionally to maintain. That being said, this is one of the better IPL I have tried. Anything that keeps me from shaving is a plus.
There is a bit of "pain" like needle pricks but after repeated use, it gets less noticeable. There is a precision guard that also helps buffer a bit. The cord is annoyingly clunky. Not sure why it's so bulky. There isn't an on/off. Unplug when you're done. It's a bit large for travel, especially if you're keeping it in the box. No glasses, surprisingly. Some small improvements would definitely make this a 5 star review for me but certainly not a deal breaker. High 4 stars for performance and ease of use.
