Permanent Hair Removal, MiSMON IPL Hair Removal for Women/Men, at-Home Hair Removal Machine for Bikini/Legs/Underarm/Arm/Body with Skin Color Sensor - Safe and Effective Technology

I've suffered from a series of recurring staph infections on my legs over the past year -- at least three. Ingrown hairs and nicks from shaving were almost definitely the cause of the issue. I also suffer from eczema, which meant that waxing and other hair removal methods would only further irritate my skin.Laser hair removal seemed like the best solution for my needs. It would lessen the hair growth enough to eliminate the need to shave, and prevent hairs from becoming ingrown since they just wouldn't grow back. I'm a good candidate for laser -- I have very dark coarse hairs, and a medium-light skin tone.I bought this particular unit after doing some research online -- it seemed like a really good combination of cost and quality. So far, I don't have any complaints about the unit. It's very easy to use, and the instruction manual has very clear images and directions. It was definitely translated into English, since the grammar is a bit clunky, but it's understandable.I started with a test patch on my ankles. I used setting two, and exfoliated and shaved beforehand. I could tell right away that it was growing back much more lightly after only a couple of days. Two weeks later, I decided to do my ankles and my calves. It itched a little as some hairs grew back, but overall, the hair growth was much lighter. It looked like I hadn't shaved my legs in 4-5 days, not 14. I've done two more treatments, with 1.5-2 weeks between them, still working on the same area. It's getting noticeably less fuzzy every time.My process goes like this. First, I dry-shave the area I want to treat with an electric razor. It removes the longest hairs. Then I use an exfoliating glove in the shower with soap to soften up the skin and clean the area. Third, I shave the area carefully with a manual razor and shaving cream. I pat my skin dry, then I start the laser hair treatment. I start on level two or three, carefully going up and down my legs once or twice with careful strokes. It takes a few minutes at most. (I realize the guide says 15-20 minutes, but given my particular history with skin issues, I'm being VERY cautious.) Afterward, I rub lotion on the treated area.It seems like a lot, and it kind of is. But I'm seeing the improvement, and I've only had one ingrown hair since I started the treatment. In another couple of months of treatments, I do think the hair will be gone, or at least light enough to not be noticeable. I wish I'd tried this years ago, but I'm really glad to be doing it now.

Works reasonably well, but I wish it had an attachment for spider veins, and rosacea. The depth of light penetration is exactly the right depth for that use, but the color of the bulb is simply not the right color if they would provide one with the right color, it would be a great therapy for rosacea.

Background: I had spiky, dark hairs on my chin - about 25-30 on each side of my face - and just a few on my upper lip and neck. The first two pictures show the chin area - I was shaving them every 36-48 hours. and starting to feel self-conscious about them just 24 hours after shaving, when the shadow would become visible again. Even right after shaving, the hairs could be seen as dark dots under the skin, since I have pale skin.Usage: Overall I'm really pleased with this product. I started using it on my chin and upper lip every 5 days. Originally I used it at Level 1. (The packaging recommends Levels 1-3 for face, and higher levels for body.) But I didn't really start seeing results until I used Levels 4 and 5 on my face. I went up one level at a time with each use and waited to see if there would be any adverse reaction. Since using Level 5, I've seen a reduction in hairs for sure. It's now been 3.5 months since I started using it, 2.5 months since I went up to Level 4, and 1 month since I went up to Level 5. I started really being sure I was seeing results after 1.5 months of use.Current progress: The third picture shows my face now (after shaving). The dark hairs are no longer visible under the skin after shaving. The number of truly dark, coarse hairs has plummeted - before it was almost too many to count since they were so close together, now it's hard to count because they are so few an far between and the ones that I might classify as "dark" are becoming fair. I can now go days without shaving before I feel like the hairs start to become visible to people a normal distance away.Downside: As advertised, this product works best for dark hair and light skin. The device has worked well at dramatically reducing the number of dark hairs I had, which is great! (I don't know if the dark hairs disappeared and only light ones are left, or the dark ones turned light.) However, I'm still left with light and blonde hairs. They still feel somewhat coarse when they grow in, so I often will think that the area must look worse than it actually does, because it feels like there are a lot of hairs, but then a look in the mirror shows that they are barely visible. I'm going to keep using the product, but I'm not sure how much more it will be able to do for the light hairs. (I almost wish they'd turn black so I could zap them more effectively!)Side note: I also used this on belly button area a handful of times. I'm less consistent there because that area is less important to me, but even after only 1-2 uses I saw a dramatic reduction there as well. I will probably focus more on this area leading up to bathing suit season next year. I may also work on my legs since the bulb comes with 300,000 flashes, even if just to somewhat reduce/lighten the hair.tl;dr: Happy with the product, it works as advertised, would buy again, wish I had bought it sooner! I'm not 100% hair-free but I'm satisfied and I think this is the best I could have hoped for.

I was so excited to buy this product hoping tonget rid of my hair for good. My complexion is white and I have thick black hair everywhere in my body.I shaved prior to using it and used as instructed. I used it on my entire legs, bikini area, armpits, chest and neck (I have some unwanted hair there).No big deal. But... about 30 min after being done I realized the back of my calves and my chest had gotten burned. I mean, there were red strips all over it besides hurting like hell... I applied ice on it, put aloe vera gel on it, but nothing.... the marks only got darker after the pain went away.It's been 2 weeks now and my legs and chest still look like this (I'm posting just a pic of my legs cause I'm embarrassed to show my decolletage). :(My left calf and chest got burned more than the right calf, and the rest of my body is fine. I mean, I used the same setting for my entire body... my skin is the same color everywhere... if anything, my calves are lighter than the rest of my body.Lt this product power is not consistent.I am VERY upset and afraid to use it in the rest of my body.We cannot return the product once used, as they say, but the least I would expect is for them to offer me a refund, or a partial refund...So much for wanting to look good. I'd much rather have to shave everyday than look the way I look now, after one use... I looked online and found out this type of mark from laser burn takes 6 months to 1 year to disappear. :(So sad.
