I was doing it professionally but then the center where I was doing closed due to the financial crisis corona brought. Waxing is too painful for me, my hair was always super thick and I thought of buyung a home device but i was with one step backward because i didnt wanted to throw away money and ending up not having results. I bought the Philips Lumea 8000 here in Germany for 330 euros after seeing this video. Im excited to start this. Also an advice, like you said the hair must be freshly shaved, make sure you shave it really well because one time I had a small stump and after the IPL machine caught that small stump I jumped off the table 😂😂😂 it hurts like hell. Sure professional IPL machines are more powerful and you will get results a lot faster but if we think about the money we spend every time we go there in only 1 year we can buy 2 or 3 of these devices.

@Chers95 Жыл бұрын

Hi, thank you so much for such an insightful review! I wanted to ask you, how would you compare the results you obtain with respect to waxing? I'm wondering if this makes the skin smoother (in terms of eliminating the visible hair bulbs that shaving causes) or if it's better to stay with waxing for that reason. I'm afraid that if I shave in order to use the device, I'll get the bumpy follicles & skin I usually get after shaving (which I don't get after waxing)

@thehonestchannel Жыл бұрын

Hi. So glad you found the video helpful! I am too big a coward to wax so I only really shaved before using the device, but if you prefer waxing it's absolutely fine to continue with that you just need to leave 24 to 48 hours between waxing and using the IPL device to allow a small amount of hair to start growing back in the follicle.

This is a hair removal device, so it only works as discussed in the review

Surely an IPL device would work on spider veins aswell?

Hello! Did your device suddenly started to blink? The numbers from 1 to 5 started to blink/flash all of them, all at once? Is it broken? Does anyone else have this problem? Thank you

@thehonestchannel Ай бұрын

That happens when it overheats so you need to switch it off and let it cool down before starting again.

Hi my question is how to use on face i nean do u really shave ur face mine has just arrived today any help would be appreciated n wat is the best thing to shave my face i have thick hairs on my chin which i have to wax every week thank u in advance u r the best❤️

@thehonestchannel 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there! Yes, I would definitely shave beforehand but for facial hair I'd be inclined to use an electric shaver rather than a razor. I know it will feel wrong to shave after waxing for so long, but if you have thick darker hairs IPL should work really well on them.

There has to be a little hair at the root to target the pigment so you should leave it for 24 hours after waxing

You just feel a warm burst. I wouldn't describe it as painful - although it can nip a little if you haven't shaved your hair so it's always best to do that.

@thehonestchannel 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Karen. Really most of the gains are made within the first few months of using this device and then you move into maintaining the results. I’m roughly where I was when I filmed my final verdict - virtually no hair under my arms and just a little hair on my legs. I’m using the device around every 6 weeks now.

@Ali-jq9rx Жыл бұрын

Hi Are the results mostly permanent or do all the hairs grow back eventually?

@thehonestchannel Жыл бұрын

The idea is that you move to using the device less frequently to maintain the results. I believe some of my hair has been permanently removed after using this device over a period of six months. You might find this comparison video with a laser device helpful. Laser treatment took longer but the results are permanent. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrimmJanyNasn2w.html
