I have very light skin and dark brown / black hair. This I have always shaving, the hair can still be seen under the skin as black dots the problem. Epilation is too painful for me and grow is not the ultimate solution, because especially the legs are rapidly stubbly again.
So the decision was quickly made that an IPL machine is needed.
The Venus IPL device comes in a white case, therefore, although it is convenient to store, to me personally but unfortunately do not like the look.
In addition, falls on the opening, that the thread that connects the top and bottom of the case from the inside and is designed to prevent the upper lid tilts back is too taut, so that the lid always zuklappt-> annoying.
However, to me the device itself is also important, and it's already nice that at all is a case here, which offers room for everything.
Here we go but with the first laser attack.
The base is connected to the outlet. It is vibrant and lively them all the time in front of him (not annoying). Then you measure the skin tone with the sensor. In my case: Skin Level I, but corresponds to the highest level of the brightest laser skin level. According to instructions should you skin tone can also be set manually. However only weaker and not stronger. As the but works exactly, I have not yet figured out. Each color is applied abundantly Next and are quite losgeblitzt.
Test treatment - Compatibility
Back to the top I only have a strip of 5-10 cm flashed to look once at the ankles if I can take it. The first lesson: It's not painless! In some places it is doing even hurt pretty. A short but violent stitch in conjunction with heat, but disappears again quickly. At the most painful are the legs above the ankles with me. Bikini line and underarms I find not painful.
The next day I noticed that my skin that I have flashed, much more sensitive and also slightly reddened was. They also burned in conjunction with warm water, or playing sports (welding). However, in the unacceptable range, so that I could go through with my real deal after 48 hours.

1. Treatment (28.02.2014)
I wanted to treat my lower legs, underarms and Biknizone. For that I needed about 2 1/2 hours. Although I have come to the conclusion at a faster pace after I once used to the principle.
The flash is very bright, so you can look in no case the flashes on the spot to beblitzende. To this end, I bought separately an eye goggles, but which darkens so strong that you would have to settle this after each flash in order to start the new speed camera can. The simple looking away in connection with the closing of the eyes should be sufficient here.
Moles I have covered with a white eyeliner.
The gel I always distributed only on smaller sections, so at least there is still a small track of where you have been flashed. Because that's not so easy to recognize. Although the essay remains by a small footprint in the gel, in low light, however, this is hardly impossible to detect up. It is also very difficult to directly above / below / next to sit down again to skip or to flash twice without a part of the skin.
After the 1st treatment my legs the next day were a little more sensitive, however, which meant no restriction.
The handset is connected to a cable at the base has a good grasp. So it does not bother me absolutely that the device can not be used wirelessly. So you do not need to recharge the battery at least the problem after 60 minutes.
Mostly no flash is triggered even though the lamp is lit, the unit is seated properly and enough gel is present. After a couple of (unsuccessful) attempts, the flash is recharging again. However, this seems to me much more then before and is doing even more hurt. I would say that comes in about every 20th-30th Lightning operation.
You already used up much gel. After this treatment a mean tube to 1/2 is empty. So I have to worry about supply me soon.
I have a feeling that the hair growth in some places is slower. Am not yet entirely sure whether I perhaps just imagining me.

2. Treatment (14/03/2014)
I progressed much faster this time! For underarms, bikini line and legs took me exactly 1 1/2 hours. Of course it is annoying in a way. On the other hand I am also looking forward to the treatments because this is a (hopefully) more step to smooth legs, etc. :)
This time I can definitely notice an extremely delayed hair growth!
In the axils of the hair growth is very different. Apparently I did not there flashed sorgältig enough. Otherwise, I'm already grants pleasantly surprised!

3rd and 4th treatment (28.03. And 04.04.2014)
At first I did not think that treatment would actually strike as well. But I can report that approximately 95% of the hair is no longer growing (waiting period between treatments within 2 weeks). When goose bumps you feel very light stubble but that's it. In the few hairs that are still on, I believe that I have these just do not get caught every time properly.
Possibly I will soon have to start to flash your thighs.
Anyway, I'm mega happy! I'm going to the 2-week treatment probably another 3 treatments - ie six weeks - to continue, before I change into the monthly phase. From the current state, I can recommend this for sure!
I will report to the next treatment continues.
