This wasn't technically a "review." You did no testing. This was you showing the contents of the box and then talking abut how both the dermatologist and in-home methods work. Maybe the title should be "overview," not review.

I've been very presently surprised with my little at home IPL. A month in, and the hair is growing drastically slower. Mind you - I'm a perfect candidate. I have fair skin and dark hair.

Hi there. I previously did IPL at home on my beard to prevent future ingrowns but it only made it worse. I've been getting tiny white pustules non-stop and I've literally tried everything to stop them. Will the beard grow back fully?. Will the ingrowns go away? Please help.

I found this to be informative. My spare dollars just went into RF microneedling lol, so for hair removal I'll try the cheap IPL route first, and if unhappy with the results I'll see an actual dermatologist. I understand these devices won't remove 100% of the hair anyway, but if I can reduce my shaving burden for $100 it might be worthwhile.

@@DrTimothyJochen So I'm gonna come back and affirm that what you said was accurate.. the IPL device I bought for $50 did NOT make a noticeable difference on my beard. I ended up paying for 4 sessions of treatment (using a commercial device, I believe it is a Lumenis SplendorX) at my local esthetician. After just ONE treatment I shed over 90% of my dark hairs. Some were simply missed in the first pass, and others were probably in resting phase. In any case if you can't smell burnt hair during treatment, likely nothing is happening lol. None if these treatments are 'cheap' but the at-home IPL is just so under-powered, its a waste of money and a gimmick. The manufacturers are probably worried about being sued, and you end up with an ineffective device.

You need to get with the times. Dude, you may have more degrees than a thermometer-however extensive research DOES support at home IPL devices do work, are safe and effective. Prices physicians charge for laser is why people choose at-home devices. It allows those who can't afford your yacht payments and would otherwise look like Grizzly Adams to look good!

I wish I knew this stuff before I was silly enough to spend hundreds of dollars at a Beverly Hills salon for the IPL treatments.... I never noticed a difference too but the ladies kept telling me I'll see results if I keep coming in and has to be regular of every month at $300 and I should buy a package of the 6 sessions and usually they say people see changes at session 8 or 10. Yeah after the first package I said I'm done since if it is supposed to make a difference then it shouldn't be THAT subtle and not worth it.

Our IPL is a powerful medical device. When he says you should get the treatment if you have a pacemaker, he is referring to the more powerful medical grade IPL. He is not angry at all. At our practice we get way better results than the home version.
