ive been using mine on my arms for less than a month and there’s already a 70 percent reduction in hair and it barely hurts to use for most areas

imo they are definitely preferable to wax or epilation

      if you’re that afraid of hurting your eyes with it, you could try turning your face away before pressing the button that fires the laser ipl machines produce way less light than proper laser machines so either way you should be safe

    Fuck ok I rlly need to get one. They aren’t safe on the face though right? So I’ll still have to get laser

      ipl is significantly less effective against facial hair so yeah you probably do need laser

        Welp I still want to try ipl. Ive been epilating and even though I only have to do like one pass a week on my body, it’s still just fucking infuriating. I want my hair to go away forever!!

          yeah, epilation is a really frustrating experience not only does it hurt a ridiculous amount, you have to do it over again every month
