About Braun IPL Hair Removal for Women and Men
Overall Feedback:
86% positive
84% appreciated its versatility, yet 16% found it complex
I love that I can use the light-hair-removal-device in privacy and go slowly to ensure I'm getting all areas thoroughly.
Level 3 is good for legs, but only level 1 can be used on bikini area, armpits, and face.
The device works particularly well on my face and neck area.
70% found the safety features helpful, but 30% didn't
We should include protective eye wear with the device.
I warn that low intensity lasers that are not medical grade can trigger dormant hair follicles to grow, which happened to me with this device. It is important for individuals with hormonal conditions like PCOS and individuals of South Asian descent to know this information. This should be advertised on the device.
I used the device once on my face and thought the lights were bright but safe to use without protective eyewear. However, I was wrong. That night I experienced vision issues and have been to the eye doctor twice since using the device. The ophthalmologist diagnosed me with ocular migraines specifically from the use of this device.
85% liked the quick treatment sessions
I started using the product twice a week for the first four weeks and now only need to use it once a week.
72% appreciated the treatment area size, although 28% didn't
I appreciate the treatment area size of the device and love that I can use it in privacy and go slowly making sure I'm getting all areas thoroughly.
For legs, bikini area, armpits, and select facial areas, it takes about 20 minutes per session.
After 12 weeks of treatment, I noticed that the hair in the treated areas grows a little slower than before, allowing me to shave every other day instead of every day. However, I haven't seen the drastic changes advertised in the product description.
84% liked the skin sensitivity settings, yet 16% encountered issues
I have sensitive skin that is prone to acne and ingrown hairs, but the device did not cause any irritation or rash.
Be careful when purchasing laser devices if you have darker hair/fair complexion. Low intensity lasers that are not medical grade can trigger dormant hair follicles to grow, which can be a problem for individuals with hormonal conditions like PCOS and individuals of South Asian descent. This happened to me with a device and I wish it was advertised on the device.
I have noticed that the device hurts more at certain times of the month and believe that hormones can make skin more sensitive.
84% found it compatible with different hair types, while 16% were disappointed
I have dark, course hair which makes me a perfect candidate for laser hair removal. It seems I have used the light-hair-removal-device and found it compatible with my hair type.
After using this device, I have seen a change in my medium-brown body hair. Now it looks like the hair was never there, even after shaving I can't see the dark root showing underneath the surface of my skin.
I have very fair skin and dark hair, making me the target audience for this product.
I advise being cautious when buying laser devices for darker hair/fair complexion.
