I was interested in getting laser hair removal at a spa, but for my legs I knew that would be expensive and came across this IPL hair removal kit and for the price I wanted to give it a try. I have used this twice and it is already slowing the growth and thinning my hair! The first time I used it I had it on a low level and only went over the area twice. I did not have any burns or feel pain so, the next week I set it to the next higher level and went over the area 3 times. Still did not have any burns or pain only a slight warmth feeling when the laser hits your skin. I am very surprised with these results, I was slightly skeptical because I have really dark and thick hair but can't wait to see the results as I keep using it! It is also light and easy to hold, it does heat up so make sure to unplug it and let it cool down so it does not burn your hand.
