Customer Review

For years I was in a large beauty salon in treatment and had to be treated there div. Parts of the body. Per session I have paid 75 Euro, although my treatment took less than 15 minutes! As you can imagine, is because after a few treatments a large sum together. I have spent nearly 1,050 euros and then really had enough. After I have compared offers and looked around for a device for home, I have now decided on this. I can therefore draw a good comparison between "professional treatment" and the "use of home";)

- The treatment in the studio
Is in my opinion too expensive and a waste of money making! Of course, the devices are in the studio significantly more costly to buy than the small appliances for home. However, there are from a performance point of no difference to me. Depending on the strength of the unit twinge equally violent as in professional studio. And only 3 or 4 treatment there costs as much as the unit for your home! Therefore, the purchase is really worth.
Then you can see how it works and looks, if it will help: It is advisable to book only one treatment in the studio would. Because if you have noted it has no effect (eg with very light hair) then you can save the rest and remain cost-effective while shaving)
And please do not be wrapped around the finger of the Studios: with 4 or 6 treatments since her hair never go! I had 15 treatments and can so far "only" speak of a success of approximately 60%. For many customers, the hair is even thinner and never completely disappear. If you (like in the studio) is to treat only every 4 or even 6 weeks one can estimate how long it takes until you are completely free of hair ..... if you will ever be. Please do not think you buy you the equipment and a few weeks later for your hair free. As far as the technique is not yet;)

- Effect and application
The application is described simply and precisely. The manual can not go wrong or even burn. But I absolutely recommend safety goggles for the eyes (if not at hand, one can also use a normal sunglasses, but can not yet see the light) !!! One should also make absolutely sure in this device that you (the strongest) begins immediately with no means level 1 !!!
I have very fair skin and should immediately start with level 1, according to device. And that's really really bad for a start! The best first time to start slowly and get used to it! Level 1 does in certain parts of the body with thin skin definitely really hurt (but that's in the studio so).
I first tested a few areas and started example for arms and face with stage 3 (1 is the highest level). The legs have been tolerated level 2. But you have to say that it simply costs a little overcome! If you know exactly that triggers the pain itself is the button press already difficult;)
It feels sensitive points short so as one would strip a hot stove - and it's over. Nevertheless, you have to because something bite through. For very prissy people (like me) is therefore the treatment in the studio probably more relaxing Eder - because you have to do even so. But here you pay up on it.

- Result
In effect, I see no difference to the studio. Certain sites may not be entirely free of hair easily, which is also always depends on the respective type. At least my legs are much hair free after a few treatments and the growth is slower. One must also be clear that certain areas, if necessary, "a lifetime" to be flashed. This is a self-suggested to the dermatologist - because at certain points just form new hair again and therefore is to be considered always stay tuned.
Where I go ran a little more aggressive than in the studio;) There are flashed as an exception even some stubborn places often - I do it from the beginning and go 2 x over it;) In the studio, a waiting period of up to 6 weeks is respected - I also consider it a scam. Skin irritation or otherwise. Problems so far I could not find. But I'm the sparkle indeed already accustomed.

- Duration and frequent use
Unfortunately, the light head of the device is very small - up to as a leg through, one needs long !! Per leg I would expect 10 to 20 minutes - before shave and take a shower. Very annoying is always the time of 4 seconds, until the device is ready for the next flash. This is a major shortcoming ... you have to wait between each flash and then make sure that the flash head rests precisely. It requires some practice to one that has the touch.
In the manual, a break between treatments for at least 2 weeks is recommended. In the studio, you must comply with a break of 4 to 6 weeks. But I must honestly say that I actually lightning almost every week.
Because problematic here: actually you can flash only in the winter, because one should not fall into the sun. Also the solarium is taboo. Of course you can in the summer - but be warned as mottled tan! So if for example his legs does not show, so can flash merrily;)

- - Conclusion - -
I am very satisfied with the device, at least at the current price. The wait time of 4 seconds between the flashes is annoying, but bearable. The device is good to use and provides a good cost and performance ratio. I can recommend it, especially if you count up what one saves towards a professional studio :)
