Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Cost: So.. I hate shaving. Seriously. The ingrown hairs and razor burn... I just hate it. I bought this product because I was going in for laser hair removal after purchasing a Groupon... then Covid happened... I decided to continue my own treatments at home after some debating about waiting or not. I’m so glad I did! The cost of doing this at home vs. at a laser hair removal location is exceptional. I paid $60 for my first 6 treatments and was told it would take 18 treatments to handle my complete hair removal (a few chin stragglers). Now I’m doing face, under arms, legs, arms and bikini line for the onetime cost of this product. I decided to do one leg only to compare if it was working or not. The photos are after 4 or 5 home treatments (can’t remember exactly). This is after not shaving for about a week. You can see there are still stragglers on the treated leg, but the lack of growth in comparison to the untreated leg is considerable! I’m guessing another 5 treatments will take care of everything. I’ve read that dormant hair follicles can start growing overtime so I anticipate having to re-treat occasionally over time. My armpit hair is almost completely gone, which includes the shadow that dark hair can create under the skin; that is gone as well! My bikini line is thinning. That will take more time since the hair is thicker. Pain: As far as pain is concerned, I’ve been using level 5 on everything and there is definitely a good little ZAP, but I got used to it. Obviously that ZAP is more sensitive around the bikini line... I have to mentally prepare a bit before going there... not gonna lie... but it’s not terrible. No watery eyes or anything. The pain is akin to waxing. Time: Because I’m zapping all the things (well almost) this is a time consuming process. Arms, legs, underarms, face, biking line, and a small zap on each big toe, takes about 2 hours. I lay in bed and watch a movie on Saturday morning after a full exfoliating shower and shave. However, the dream of being razor-free in the future, is a motivating factor in taking the time. Also, I label the time as “self-care” so I don’t feel guilty about taking that much time to myself. Im completely happy with this product. My daughters are getting interested in borrowing it which is awesome. I like the idea that they can do this when their younger and save themselves thousands of hours over their lifetime not shaving and doing other things. Wish I did this in my 20’s! Hope you found this helpful... especially since I don’t post hairy leg picture for just anything. Great little gadget. Make sure to get some sort of laser hair gel for after treatments.
