    Pure life-changing magic

    I just did my 6th session today, so this is a partial review, but the over-the-top title really is how I feel about this thing.I got this IPL because I trust the brand and there was no way I would ever go with a cheap no-name brand for this kind of thing. It’s expensive, but IMO, the freedom it gives you is worth a lot more than that. There aren’t many things that actually change your life for a few hundred bucks – but if you fit the restrictions on skin and hair colors, this is one of them.I’m medium-white with dark hair – mostly black where it counts, a few shades of brown in other places like my upper lips. I’ve never shaved regularly. Shaving meant rapid and prickly growth and after a couple of times I would have to do it every day on my legs, bikini and armpits. So instead I used to either wax or use an electric epilator.So I’ve been zapping a lot of body parts for 6 weeks now: entire legs, bikini line, armpits, upper lip and chin. After a few weeks I added a few more (around the nipples (since hair there is growing around them, not on them), extended bikini, and my forearms.Since I didn’t want to shave my face, I did wax my upper lip before the first time, thinking that maybe it would take longer to work, but I didn’t care.It’s completely painless for me, at the higher level. Get a little zap now and then, but even that is more surprising than painful (say, 1/10 on the pain scale, and it only lasts half a second).At first you will probably smell some burning hair, I suppose that’s normal (because that’s how it works).If you see black spots on the machine’s window after using it, it’s because you either didn’t shave, or you missed some hairs. Those got nuked, and the black spots are their remains. Very hard if not impossible to remove, try cleaning the head with a moist microfiber cloth. They don’t affect anything, though.I use the small head on my upper lip, chin, the lower parts of the bikini line or where I want to be extra precise (gotta try for straight lines, eh), around my wrists, and on the lower legs for the shin bones, ankle bones and front of the knees. I use the big one everywhere else.So here’s my results after 5 weeks (I only did week 6 today so it doesn’t count):The first week, the hair grew as it normally would after a shave. Meaning after 5 days, it was clearly visible (a few mm) and prickly. Ew. I didn’t notice any change.The second week I noticed that while the regrowth seemed to be the same in terms of length and amount, the hair was a lot thinner, especially on my legs, and definitely not scratchy. Win.The third week, my armpits were at maybe 30%. The rest of me was also showing very good progress, I want to say 50%. After that I noticed that regrowth was very patchy, clearly mostly stalled, and some hairs were growing without a root – I could pluck them off with my nails.Now, I’m mostly hairless everywhere.- Upper lip never really grew back at all, save a few very short, light hairs that are really invisible. Remember, I waxed there instead of shaving before the first session. The machine would have been worth the price for that alone.- Armpits are completely hairless. I haven’t shaved them for two weeks now because there’s nothing to shave anymore. Total win.- Lower legs have a couple small patches around the shin bone that are more resistant so I still have little dark spots there but they barely even breach the skin anymore, and a few stragglers here and there that I probably missed before. I only shaved before my session today out of an abundance of caution to get any small straggler that I may not see in the back.- Upper legs have like 10 single hairs on the both of them. Those I probably missed a couple of times.- Bikini line is mostly hairless except for two patches with the same small spots on my pubic area. Those seem to be mostly dead but they won’t grow enough to fall off. Also a few are still growing where the tendon of the thigh muscles meets the bikini line.- Nipples only have one little hair growing back.- Still have two or three hairs growing on the chin (or rather they’re *trying* to grow, but failing). Didn’t shave those this week because they haven’t breached the skin since last week.So after 3-4 weeks, I didn’t have to worry about going out wearing shorts. After 5 weeks, I can go to the pool or something without even checking if I have any visible hair and I don’t have to shave some areas before zapping anymore.- Extended bikini line is going well but I’ve only been at it for 3 weeks.- I also started doing my forearms, the part between my butt cheeks, and the lower part of my labia last week. Can’t talk for that yet. And no it doesn’t hurt either, it’s just a real pain to shave well down there.I will keep doing it weekly for another 6 weeks. I think it’s important, to catch the hairs that were in sleeping phase before. At any point in time, some are sleeping, some are growing, and among those, some haven’t broken the skin yet. So you have to keep at it until you’ve zapped them all, and that takes a few months.I will update in a few weeks.

    After 1 year… worth it.

    After 10+ years of going to spas/laser centers for treatments, I decided on this since the cost was the same price (or less) than 1 appointment. It has definitely paid for itself.I bought this about 14 months ago and looked at maybe 20 options before buying this one– hair grows back slower and softer (rather than stiff stubble) to the point there’s almost no hair growing. In the beginning, you’ll need to use it often (maybe 1x a week for 2 months) but the regrowth becomes so slow that I forget I even need to use it and have to set a calendar reminder. The “burn” isn’t as intense as a regular professional laser, but the results are just as good. It can take a long time for each use (compared to a spa visit) but you won’t need to travel, park, sit in a waiting room, etc. With lasers, you can’t really be in the sun for a few weeks, but with this Braun, I was able to be in the sun (with sunblock!) without any extra sensitivity/sunburns.

    Worked great for me

    Update: 8 weeks in and now using once a week on legs. 7th day of no shaving now feels like maybe day one of no shaving! There is no visible stubble. I still do bikini and underarm twice a week but much more diminished. It is really working. It does take patience, every now and then a sting but normally on legs no sting. I keep it set at highest setting and it will adjust based on skin tone.I received the product about 5 weeks ago. I used it twice a week on my legs, bikini and under arm area. Prior to using I would shave my legs in the morning and by the next day have stubble within two or three days very visible stubble. After using for 3-4 weeks, I could go 4 days and only start to feel stubble. That was amazing! I went on a beach vacation and didn’t shave my legs for 5 days and you couldn’t even tell by looking at them. Bikini area is growing much slower as well. I will continue to use once or twice a week for the next 6 weeks and see where it stand then. So far I am very happy with the progress!!

    Easy to use, almost no pain. Works great.

    Ok so I just used it for the 11th time, once a week so I will review now.I bought the name Brand that I trust, have used their products in the past.I started the first week using the lightest setting, meaning one dot instead of three. Used on max, 3 dots after the first week, saw it was fine. Every once in a while I get a small zing, not bad.BACKGROUND. I’ve had laser hair removal professionally on my lip and chin abut 8 times. On my legs and arm pits one time. To expensive. I have very dark brown hair, it’s 50% grey now on my head.So I laser, lip, chin, arm pits, full legs and small amount of bikini area, every week. The first 6 weeks I had to shave before I did the laser, now I only shave the bikini area every couple weeks before because only a couple stray hairs are growing back in all the other areas except the bikini area. There is still a few hairs growing in the bikini area. Not much. This thing really works. I almost have no hair, except a couple greys on my lip, chin, arm pits, legs. I love it.I do read reviews and see some people saying when they stop using it the hair grows back, so that is something to keep in mind. I will continue using every week until the bikini area is like the other areas, then maybe less often. Every other week or something to see. Will update again. It’s worth the cost. I spent about $2500 in laser hair years ago that was so worth it. But can’t afford that now.

    Warning!!!

    I’ve used professional and home hair removal devices in the past without any issue. This Braun arrived and initially looked great. I followed directions and shaved then did a spot test area, 24 hours later no issues so I thought I was good. I didn’t get time for about 2 weeks later to give it the first real try. Once again I shaved and used per product instructions. Slight zap discomfort but nothing significant and did my entire legs. Approx 24 hours later, I broke out in a rash. The first 4 photos (2 per each leg) show that result. The red raised bumps were all only over hair follicles but I was concerned. Mild itching and discomfort. I didn’t shave or remove any additional hair, wanted to let the skin heal. Applied Aquaphor and kept the skin moist. The second set of photos (5-8) were my legs one week later. Still very red and irritated. I am worried about permanent scarring now. And it looks like I may not be able to return due to the nature of this device and it was used. WARNING for others, I spent $400 to be marked (potentially permanently)!!

    Honest evaluation

    This works well when used regularly, per the instructions. It does effectively slow re-growth. When used per instructions I had little hair regrowth after 8 weeks. But then didn’t use it for 6 months and 90% of hair grew back. (That’s my own fault.)I had my upper lip professionally lasered in the past which resulted in permanent hair removal (after 6 treatments). But that would be too expensive for legs and underarms and the Braun is less painful than professional lasers.I’ve been using this on my legs and have tried under arms. It is not painless as stated, but I use the highest level for more effectiveness, possibly the lower level would hurt less but I’m able to handle the discomfort.TMI about me: I have pale skin and brown hair, and the hair on my legs is very fine. Shaving irritates my skin so much I can’t do it. Waxing is more likely to just break the hair on the surface instead of pulling out the root which is the only way to slow regrowth. Believe it or not, I have spent last few years carefully plucking the hair from my legs. I also have terrible problems with in-grown hairs which is very irritating.I use the “gliding” treatment mode and it takes me about 20 minutes on each leg which is why I have only 4 stars for ease of use. There is a delay between “zaps” and if it zapped more frequently it would go faster but that might not be possible on a home device. My legs have a little redness after use but you can easily go out with bear legs right after and no one would notice anything.Conclusion: This is effective for slowing regrowth and I’ve had no problems with ingrown hairs. I would recommend this product if you have realistic expectations and do not expect the kind of permanent hair removal from professional lasers. Great if you are traveling because if used regularly before leaving you won’t have to worry about shaving while away. (Unless you go for 4 months or more.)I continue to use this product, for me it is better than any other available options for hair removal.

    Pain and Speed Comparison: IPL to TRIA

    Ten years ago, I got a TRIA but didn’t use it much due to long laser charge time and small treatment window. IPL seemed skeptical with its claim of doing one leg in 5 minutes. Surprisingly, IPL is that FAST and has near negligible pain. I would say more warmth than pain–though I do agree with people on the ‘occasional’ zap (where ‘occasional’ is 2x/leg and 1x/bikini line). The glide function works amazingly. Can’t comment on effectiveness yet, but considering near-zero pain and quick coverage, it seems promising, even if monthly sessions are needed.The Braun recommends treatment 1x/week for 12 weeks, in comparison to other IPL treatments that recommend treatment 3x/week, 2x/week, then 1x/week. Since time is a prohibitive factor for me this approach works well with my schedule.

    It actually works

    My sister recommended this product, saying that she couldn’t believe I was still using a razor! I was skeptical but since I trust my sister, I made the investment (yep, at this price, it’s an investment…) I was intimidated by the way this device looked at first, but once I used it I understood how great this machine was. It is important to know (and to follow the instructions, as it says in the user’s manual) that at first you need to use it once a week for 2~3 weeks. Then it really kicks in. You don’t have to use it for a few months at least. The device emits a bright flashing light repeatedly when in use, so I found that wearing dark, dark sunglasses to be important to protect my eyes. This is one of those things I wish I had known about many years ago. It was worth the money. Yes, a good investment.

    Too soon to tell for sure but so far so good!!

    I’ve only been using it for about 4 weeks but so far I’m impressed with the lessening hair regrowth. I bought it for my neckline and I’m not going to lie, that area is difficult (but not impossible) to do on your own. My husband is hopeless (LOL). It is working though. I see progress!! Also my chin, tops of feet and pits – those areas are much easier to do on yourself. I need more time to give it 5 stars but if I see the progress I hope for after 12 weeks I will update my review.

    Very good so far used it only 2 times… to early to see results

    Excellent product, but it was even better if there was a small adjustable connector for the area of the face all of the cops are little too large for small areas
