So I did that too but that didn't help at all and after 4 weeks of initial treatment now I'm having an unbearable itching problem that started giving me hives and making it very difficult to even sleep. It was always itchy after the treatment, which they say it's normal and would be better with moisturizing heavily twice a day. As the product claims it'd take certain weeks to see visible change, I patiently continued the treatment for 3 more weeks.
However, after 2-3 days, I started seeing tiny hairs grow back like it'd normally do after shaving. The epilator was easy to use and I didn't feel any burning pain or anything. First, I tried it on my lower legs, like a patch-test to see within 24 hours if I'd have any side-effects, which it didn't.
I followed the procedure as mentioned in the manual - clean shaved the area and then used the IPL before using any product and moisturized only after the treatment was done. I'm really disappointed with this product after giving it a try for 4 weeks. Noticeable results in just a few sessions
This is one of the best products I’ve used for myself. I am very happy with the comfort of this machine and its overall results in such a short time. It is pricey but the end result is worth the money. I am glad I got this and will continue to use this in other areas to get the best results. It comes with a razor, additional precision head (to tackle the smaller areas like face, bikini area, etc) & a pouch to keep all the stuff together. This can now really save me time and money & there is no need to go to a salon for waxing and spend dollars. I use the standard-setting on my leg and gentle setting in my underarm area.
I love that I can control the level of intensity on my skin as my own preferences. Initially, I was thinking it to be a painful process but it was not at all painful and all I felt is a light sting. After the third week, I have noticed that the hair growth on that leg and underarm was slower and hair is getting finer with some bald patches.
You need to repeat the process every week and you should start seeing the noticeable results in just after 3-4 sessions. I have seen a noticeable difference in just about three treatments which are about a 30-40% decrease in hair density. I tried this on my one leg and one underarm first so that I could see the difference side by side. Firstly you must shave all visible hair from the area you want to treat and the skin must be clean & dry. I went through the manual before using it. I love this product, it is really simple to use and I was surprised how quickly it gets work done. This is the first time I tried IPL Hair Removal System and I must say I loved the results in just about 2-3 treatments.
