I decided to try out an IPL device as almost every other hair removal method irritates my skin in some way. My only regret is that I never bought this sooner!
There is absolutely no pain. Even on the highest strength in the most sensitive of spots, you will at most feel a little burst of heat. I like that it comes with a little carry case, and two different sized heads.
I am quite fair-skinned with dark hair, so an ideal candidate for IPL. Within the first couple of sessions I saw an immediate difference. Now I am almost at the end of the treatment plan - I have almost no hair growth on my armpits or legs, and a very significant decrease on hair growth on my bikini line.
