Removing unwanted body hair is a thankless, repetitive chore that seems to just. keep. happening. While laser removal can be a more permanent option, treatments are pricey. It can also be really uncomfortable, with one Reddit user deeming the process “the single most painful thing I’ve ever endured.”
The device uses Red-light Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which, according to WebMd, is gentler and more gradual than traditional laser treatments — often making it far less painful and irritating.
As WebMD describes, because IPL is less intense than laser treatment, it can require more sessions, but often demands less (or no) recovery period. Reviewers agree with this, noting the sensation from this device is “nothing” compared to ”the hours I’ve wasted from plucking and waxing.”
“Even from using it everyday, there is no skin irritation or lingering redness or adverse effects,” Megan wrote.
According to the brand, the device works by emitting a range of IPL wavelengths into your hair follicles, disrupting hair growth and hindering regrowth. Reviewers say the result isn’t just removing existing unwanted hair, but slowing, or even stopping new hair from popping up.
