Braun IPL at Home Laser Hair Removal for Women and Men, Silk Expert Mini PL1014 with Venus Razor, Permanent Visible Hair Reduction in Hair Regrowth for Body & Face, Corded

I’ve been using the Braun IPL (the small pink one that comes in the pink bag) for about 4 months now and I honestly really like it.First of all, it’s small and really handy. That was a big selling point for me. It’s not bulky at all and fits easily in my hand. I can throw it in a drawer or pack it in a suitcase without it taking up space. The little pink bag it comes with is cute and makes it feel organized instead of like some huge machine sitting around. I also just like the color.I mainly use it on my underarms and legs. After about 4 months of using it once a week (sometimes every other week if I forget), I would say my underarm and leg hair is about 50% gone. The hair that is still there is much thinner and grows back slower. I definitely doubted this would work at first. I almost didn’t buy it because I wasn’t sure if at-home IPL was actually legit. But I read a lot of reviews from other people online who shared their specific results, and that encouraged me to try it.It is SO much cheaper than going to a laser place. Laser sessions add up fast, and you have to keep scheduling appointments and relying on someone else. I find that annoying and inconvenient. I like being able to just do it myself at home when I have time. Also, when hair grows back, I’d rather be the one controlling it. I get nervous about getting burned at a laser clinic, and doing it myself just makes me feel more in control.As for pain, it really doesn’t hurt. Most of the time it barely feels like anything. If you hold it over the same area for too long (which you’re not supposed to do), then it might sting a little. But if you use it correctly and move it along like you’re supposed to, it’s totally fine. I shave a little before I use it. I’ve noticed if I shave super close right before using it, it can feel a tiny bit more sensitive. So now I try to shave but not aggressively right before.One thing I will say is that my skin can get a little dry if I use it too often. That’s why I stick to about once a week and nothing too intense. Moisturizing after helps.I personally wouldn’t recommend using it on hormonal areas like the upper lip. I’ve read that sometimes that can actually cause the hair to grow back fuller in those areas, which is not what you want.Overall, I highly recommend this. It’s small, portable, easy to use, and way more convenient than going somewhere for laser. The results have been real for me, and I’m really glad I stuck with it. If you’re on the fence like I was, it’s definitely worth trying and a life-changer. It just feels so good to not have long pointy hairs.
