For 4 months (twice what they say in the manual), I made hair removal pulsed light every 2 weeks. 6 months after the beginning I have always a lot of hair (very black) even if I have really much less. So be patient.
Laser hair removal is more expensive but offers a much faster and better results (the laser light will kill the hair more deeply). Anyway, if you hesitate between the pulsed light hair removal in beauty salons or at home; do it at home because it's the same thing in much cheaper and when you want!
As for the epilator in himself, he does his job despite slower results advertised. My skin is much "cleaner" even when shaving between two hair removal pulsed light and I have no more ingrown hairs problem.
However, it has a big problem of overheating in the plastic head. In the end, these are not the flashes that burn but plastic! I have to stop at least 2 times each time (when I armpit + shirt + 2 full legs).
