I chose to test this device by saying that I will make the economy forward in the salon hair removal sessions. In fact, by reading the instructions carefully, I realized that I was one of those that are not to be used: due to a very light skin and hair that have become some gray to white. However, my 16 year old daughter who is beginning to make underarm hair removal sessions was very excited to try it. Pre Shave displeased him that hot wax hair removal did not pose any problem, it is a detail; Then she found the device to painful skin contact. Yet, following the instructions, it can be user by setting the minimum power. We will take all these tests after it has made a waxing hot wax. It is important that no hair recalls the leaflet remains after shaving and after 3 to 4 sessions, the contact must be less painful. I must say that I would not shave down lip before using this device, I would have done after waxing or tweezing. There is the initial investment, I do not know how long the lamp since it is a centerpiece that does not change. I live in the province and Institute for eyebrow waxing (that is not the device), lip, underarms, bikini and half leg, it costs me 50 for a period of 40 minutes and every 6 weeks (after depilation years institute the shoot is very slow and very fine hairs). In short, I would have amortized purchase a little more than a year. My advice before buying, please visit the Philips website and check carefully that you can use. it's probably a bit unpleasant but all methods have their flaws, remains to be seen whether the effect on regrowth is sustainable.
