Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is not for the weak by any means. I am latina, olive skin and dark hair. Settings 1-3 are not bad but if you really want to see results you have to do it consistently and move up a level each time until you reach five. I started at 1-2 for my bikini area, upper lip and chin. I have done it weekly and have worked my way up to a 4 in a month. And already I see HUGE results. Not only do I NOT have to shave my bikini area as often but the razor bumps are going away and the scarring is subsiding. I am using cortisone after to prevent irritation. As for my upper lip and chin. WOOOOAH! HUGE difference!!! Within the first week I noticed a difference; those stubborn hairs that I have to tweeze (and were causing that part of my skin to look irritated) were MUCH easier to get out. By the third week I do NOT maintenance in between. And I have noticed a smoothness of my skin and again the ingrown/stubborn hairs are non existent and the scarring is going away. I do not use any numbing cream or ice because I have built a tolerance. I did purchase mine used (although practically brand new) it was WELL worth what I paid for. In the past I have done waxing, electrolysis, and laser hair removal at an expensive salon. This has been by FAR the best experience, I go at my pace, on my time and it WORKS!! One thing I did notice is you need to be sure the laser is hitting an actually hair follicle. I know that sounds crazy considering you are trying to get an area that has hair; but be mindful of where you are actually pointing the laser. Hair grows in different directions if you pressing the laser in an area where the hair grows to the right, you may want to adjust the angle you are pointing the laser. Hope this helps. Once I am satisfied with the areas I am working on I plan to move to other areas of my body.
