My report, as a man to six months

Silk'n SensEpil hair removal device (Personal Care)

Customer Review

This time the experience from the perspective of a man:
I've been using the device now for about 6 months and saw stuck to the manual, as regards the intervals.
That is between the first 4 applications I have to stand for 2 weeks and since then paused always 3 weeks between applications.
Overall, I now geblitzdingst 10 times.

Anticipation is a brief summary, the detailed version follows below:

Where I have used it?
Beard
Armpits
Chest / Stomach
"Bikini Zone"
Instep

If any skin / hair type suitable?
No

Which skin / hair type am I?
On the beach you'd inscribedable as Kalkleiste)
My hair is dark brown.

What success I was able to record after 10 applications?
Bart ca 40% reduced
Armpits about 60-70%
Chest about 80%
Abdominal ca 70%
"Bikini Zone" about 50-60%
Foot instep, so the top of the foot about 80%

How many impulses I need for each region?
Of course, much depends on how clean you work and how large / very hairy, the points are (just the beard / chest / abdomen that can vary greatly), but as a rough guide:
Bart 80-140 pulses
Armpits together 20-30
Chest 30-80
Abdominal 30-90
"Bikini Zone" 50-100
Instep together 10-20
According to the manual legs 750 together (I have not done so)

At what stage flash me?
in the first 6-7 sessions, I'm gone up over time in all regions except for step 4, except with the beard, who since the 7th meeting at level 3. From the 11th session, I've just behind me everything on stage. 4

Hurts the flashes?
Jain .. which is strongly depending on the user level, the region and the density of hair.

Is the hair removal really permanent?
Well, I can now, of course, too early to say, but if I mean "Head lice" look at me, the already really big job vacancies has, which are also not far nachgeswachsen, then I would in principle be a "Yes" tend.

Which places you can recommend that you use?
In principle, the smaller the affected area the better, because above a certain size counts itself financially in my opinion, no longer because it takes too many applications for final disposal.

Ok, we come to the detailed part :)

How does it work anyway?
According to the manual / description the Wavelength of the light pulse from the device responds with the present in the hair / skin melanin (tanning pigment), the light is converted into heat. This heat in turn "grilling" then the hair follicles resulting in no new hair root more can form and thus the affected zone remains permanently free of hair after failure of the hair. However, the hair has 3 phases of life and success can be mainly achieved in only one phase (growth phase), which is why you should allow between treatments and so much time to elapse (several weeks) and should in no case during the treatment period pluck / Epilate Harre. .wirklich only shave.

Is each suitable for treatment with the HPL unit?
No, since you with as much melanin requires hair (ie are blonde, gray and red hair unsuitable), preferably also as thick as possible (cross section) must not have hair, while as little melanin in the skin (ie fair skin), as it is very warm there otherwise also.

What can I do if I but blond hair or dark skin have to remove them permanently?
The HPL devices like this one, unfortunately, practically nothing. Since then can only help the professional studio, as these devices have greater effect and there is also a variant which is not on light based (but on current and needles as far as I know .. sounds anyway neither especially little pain yet, particularly time-saving .. .dementsprechend also determined more expensive)

What you should know beforehand:
In principle, I recommend before the unit buys, about it to be clear that the HPL devices require much more time than the professional equipment in the studio. Therefore, you should bring a lot of patience. Also, I recommend before the first application of the affected areas to make 3 photos. The first photo the day before you would shave it normal manner, the second photo on the day on which one it would shave as normal and then one (if only once a week or even longer shaved one day apart anyway, then you should also between the photos are more time to be able to see the differences better). At least I would have to make the beard, because otherwise it can be really difficult to assess how successful you have been (and visible success is important for the patient)).
Furthermore, everyone should be clear that the whole thing can be quite kostenintensinv as private users!
Here's a little tip: Patience is a virtue, and these do not bring a lot of people with, so you can just as well this unit rows cheap in auction houses (everyone knows what is meant) and shoot at a fraction of the price! I shot my example for 86 including shipping and was only a few times "fired" using the supplied light unit because allegedly the skin tone was too dark.
In addition, the replacement lamps cost as a double minimum proud 55 (for together 1,500 rounds) and with the above-mentioned numbers of pulses per affected area may be here now everyone even calculate roughly how much Licheinsätze one will have to buy more (I would sometimes coarse aiming of thumb, that you have to make already 20 sessions for a minimum of 95% hair freedom, ie about 1 year Application).
After 10 sessions for all points above (except for the legs, which I as a man have not made naturally), I am now using 2 light inserts through, but that's just because I determined with the first light application already at least 1000Impulsen am and do not know why I had to change this yet (I guess times that it there as an XL-Licheinsatz in it, although it is not a XL-device according to the packet).

The Application:
The manual says that one should not flash twice during a meeting places, because there's no point. I must say that I would have enjoyed doing so, however, it is not very easy to find out from where to where you already flashed and you therefore at times flashes often overlaps the surfaces. When lice Head (where I have the best results currently), I thought that I would have flashed well without overlapping, which has then but gzeigt in a fairly clear line of unremoved hairs. Therefore, I now about cutting deliberately prefer getting a little.
The light unit has a sensor which detects whether you have the device placed on light skin or even not at all hung up, I can tell you but assure that the anything but reliable functioning and there are often times "false positives" in which the unit then refuses to flash .. then you should just try to keep a little different. I also think that one could easily outsmart the sensor with a permanently glued on white sheet - I have not tried it though.
One should also not liver spots etc. flash (probably because of the color and possibly transmitted heat) mitblitzen (only the sensor should, I can say that I've tried that and no problems here .. had the nipple can be easily do not rest there;)).
The flash itself is really (!) Damn light!
Wear goggles I can recommend only if you then want to necessarily have and then only if it is one with orange lenses. I have namely a brought with dark glasses (because of the Beard) and which is so dark that you can see nothing -.-
For Bart ultimately totally unsuitable because below everything is open.
Therefore, I'll do it eventually as likely almost all: Scheduling look away, close your eyes, open fire! and then the next point.

Hurts the flashes?
Jain, it really depends on stage and location.
The pain scale ascending:
1. "Hm, did not notice anything at all."
2. "Oh, that was now but nice and warm."
3. "Oh, that has now gekribbelt somehow."
4. "Now it has somehow times twinge"
5. "Wow, that has right now but twirled!"
6. "Ouch, that was really hot!"

If only little hair at one point, which in most cases are then quite thin, then you will almost always move in step 1-3 the pain scale. Except in the case (at least for me) the thigh flex the pelvis because kanns also give some real outliers upwards.
If you have quite a lot of hair in the affected area, you will almost always move around in pain area 2 and 5 at appropriate set intensity. In my opinion you have outliers upwards very quickly if the skin is very thin and little fat tissue underneath. Otherwise, a rule of thumb, the denser the hair, the hotter / schmerhafter wirds.
Worst of all, I personally find the beard because the hair really stand there very closely and absorb a lot of energy, but at the same time, the disc of the light use really fast extremely heats up, which is why you do not often just because of the disc itself often easy burns (stage 6 of the pain scale).

Impact / success / side effects:
In principle, of course, the higher the intensity of the device (level 1-5 = 3-5 Joules), the greater will be the success, but the sooner it will sometimes tweet correctly or be hot on the light unit. I recommend that you always the next meeting a step higher bodies should, if you think that you would have the current session with a bit more power still quite good survived. I think namely that set visible results only from stage 3.
Speaking of visible results after the first 2 sessions will probably still see her no success! But after the second session I noticed that my hair grow much more slowly .. estimated 20-40% slower. That's enough for example to be no longer a day to trim his beard, but only every 2 days, or rather every 3 days only once every 4-5 days. With me mittlwerile even been a week there, where I then already put tramps attributes to the day: D
The hair fall even immediately after the application, but only after about 2 Wochen..man that gets but only with if you suddenly brighter places and found directly I have no fancy hair. However, I already had a few hairs that I was able to pull out suddenly without any effort (that is, without pain and without jerky movement).
Alone the fact of slower growth is enough power in order to apply more patience.
However, I have also read that the hair will grow back finer allegedly with other people and I can not confirm, but I have now in the process in some cases significantly lighter hair.
As the only unwanted side effect I noticed that I seemed a bit more often inflamed / have ingrown hair roots, but not so bad to have that, I would now think stop. I can of course be fooled and it's just coincidence or it seems to me just as if it would be more common.

Success in Bart: As it is written, I appreciate the hair fall by the beard currently at 40%, but that's only because I happen without comparison photos have taken stupid way and it can be really bad estimate. Apart from this, can the beard but also extream modest flashes (I leave that there always make my girlfriend) and you can there only much more slowly lift due to the pain level, the intensity, otherwise really burns you there. But I've discovered a few free spots and am confident that this will spread further .. and with decreasing density, I can continue to increase the intensity of the flash, which in turn increases the success rate.

Success in the armpits: With the successes here I am quite zufrieden..die density decreases significantly, and I think the number has fallen below half .. I shave this now only a week.

Success on the chest: Here I am very pleased I had here .. anyway not so much, but the plucking Let was really slow annoying .. now I shave if at all, only a week and you can count the hairs also have problems. Incidentally, you can mitblitzen the nipple easily!

Success on the belly: Specially concerns with me only lice ladder, around the belly button around and slightly to the side of it ... The successes here I would already good to assess very good .. especially the Head lice you as it can no longer even refer to and directly around the belly button, there are only less hair. The rest was anyway not very hairy, it wills, yes, but equally have hair free

Success in the "bikini line": Even though I of course do not wear, reading this anyway ermutlich mainly women, so I'm stuck with the term. I think women have it here with flashing lighter than the men and I think everyone can yourself think why ... I'm with the result so far at least not unhappy and I have quite a few holes in the ceiling ... the grass density has generally ntürlich also decreased noticeably. Exlizit for men: to flash the "bag" is due to color (at least for me), however, very difficult to secure and the "tennis balls" They have not been the easy part.

Success at the instep: Am I ... I also quite happy because only stray hairs .. certainly no point that everyone would do, but because it is not big and like to tempt hairs there by shaving and shoes times the itching, I have equal mitgegrillt.

Overall I would recommend the device so, but not for the legs because the legs are easily be outrageously expensive.
I guess that you have starting count of 20 sessions with about 500 for the lamp inserts alone for the legs, as one should perhaps consider whether it would not perhaps cheaper comes with the usual 4-6 sessions in a hair removal studio at away.
But just for Bart / armpit / groin area, I would recommend the device very precisely because these sites do not go so much into the money and not you have to show everyone his jewels;)

I hope my review was / is / will be some help.
