But beware, the ultimate result of the zero-haired a price.
1) the user's manual you read:
When the box is opened and you see the device straight out of a Star Trek episode, we did not want to use it like that, the tears.
And actually, it's better!
There are the big and the small sheet guide quick start. I urge you to read the complete guide because there are many things to know and especially the safety instructions to be observed for optimal use of and without "risk his life" this device.
2) The instructions you will respect:
The use of pulsed light is risky. When you shave, you can cut (ouch), when you pluck the wax, you can be burned (ouch) and well here too, there are risks including that of burning.
For example, if you use this unit after exposure to sunlight or UV, you may cause serious damage to your skin, already photosensitized. We must wait 15 days after exposure to the sun before using pulsed light and similarly, avoid exposure to the sun after sessions flashing. You will have the same problem if you use a whitening cream that will make your skin sensitive to hyper flash. In short, the zero-haired operation must be carried out in the winter!
Moreover, this device can only be used on certain types of skin and essentially one that has a dark hair. Fair skin, light hair ... go your way, this technique will not work on you, same with very dark skin, black hair.
Indeed, the coat is detectable by the flash when it is dark on a light to medium skin. A blond hair on light skin or a black hair on dark skin will not be detected.
Finally, I am a fan of waxing, what was my disappointment when I read that it was necessary MUST shave the area to flash! ... Well, I exaggerate a little. You can flash an area which has just been shaved with wax. But it tells you that if you want the best results, better shave. Bad.
Another detail, there are areas to avoid. For example mucous membranes. So you can use pulsed light to make you a regular bikini but not a full suit (risk of burns and injuries).
3) Of patience, you armeras you:
Yes, hair removal pulsed light allows to permanently get rid of your hair but for that, you need to be patient. Indeed, it takes 4 to 5 sessions of flash to see the regrowth of hair stopped.
After a session, you must wait 15 days before reflash the area, taking plenty of time to shave before.
In short, it must easily wait 3 months before you see the first disparaitrent hair and in my opinion, allow 3 months to be really quiet because it also explains that he will still continue to flash a little area where the hair will fallen, but at that moment, you will not need to shave before (that's something).
The test:
I decided to test the hair removal with IPL on my underarms.
I clean and I clean the area thoroughly, being careful not to cut me. I dry.
I take the camera in hand, it is lightweight and ergonomic. I plug. I carefully connects the Quick Start sheet (sufficient once you read the main guide).
I select the flash intensity based on my skin color and hair (there is a table for that, it's easy). For that, I press the ON button as many times as necessary, the LEDs illuminate from 1 to 5 (flashing maxi, mine).
The device is ready. I place it on my armpit, I support, nothing happens ... "It is where the green light?". I press a little harder and there I understand and remember what I read in the guide. You really BANDING the appliance (the glass area of the flash above) on the skin. The green light comes on, I support.
Sacred flash (sound effects included)! ... I am surprised because it tingles slightly when the flash, nothing unpleasant either.
I get off the machine a notch and I flashed area by area (also tells you to do slightly overlapping the areas you flash).
I turn to the other armpit and repeat the operation. Easy. Very easy. Fast too ... but on a small area. I wonder how long it will take on whole calves!
Remember that a slight smell of "burned hair" can emerge ... it was the case for me ... do not worry.
After use, a long press the ON button is enough to turn it off. Thoroughly clean the glass flash with cleaning cloth for this purpose (it is essential that the glass is always clean for optimal operation).
No redness on the skin, no discomfort. Have to wait 15 days and over again.
The results:
Unfortunately, we can not give you my opinion on it immediately. This will require me to come edit this comment in three months to tell you whether the operation "Zero underarm hair" worked.
Meanwhile, I am happy with the product when in use.
Stay tuned for the results of the operation!
The results, a few months later (ie 06.05.2014): "... but it works"
Indeed, due to a flash session on the armpits, every 15 days, I could see hair regrowth reduced by half since the 3rd session. The hair shaved before the meeting, put one to two weeks to reappear sparsely. So I continued but ...
There is a maize. Do not do as I do the mistake of lacking diligence, because after 5 or 6 sessions, repulsive hair less and less, I began to forget my sessions ... sometimes I waited three weeks instead 2 to flash.
Well imagine that the hair grows back! less provided, but still. Probably because the bulb was weakened by the sessions but not destroyed and that after recovering from their emotions, leave the hair at war!
Shucks, I have to start from scratch and get my flash sessions, seriously this time.
So I think sincerely that this method works, but it takes much more flash than three months to get a true result for the long term, especially if you have dark hair and fierce like me.
And here I will only speak about the armpits. If I decide to attack me with full legs, I can not imagine how long it will take me.
A method that works but who requires patience, rigor and ... you see.
