@@sofiaeveryday I have ordered one since my comment, and am looking forward to starting to use it, initially weekly; on my legs, arms, underarm to begin with. Thanks again xxx
I have it from 2020 bought it before the start of corona virus thing… didn’t expect such good results. P.s. I have pale skin and dark hair, but my arms and shoulders, sometimes face, get tanned in summer and it’s still works, great. It works great for a face hair, too. But don’t forget to put the sunscreen if you do this during the summer! Otherwise, you will have very pale freckles.
Hello, I would like to know how is ot working on upper lip. As you said, I am scared to shave it. I have mostly peach hair there and few darker. I would love to rid of it.
Yes you do - you have to. The skin should be hair free, but the "root" of the hair needs to be inside the skin (because that's what the light will be hitting and destroying, over the sessions). By flashing the root, the hair will not grow, and over time become weaker and cease to form/form way less often, so you won't have hair growing all the time :) So you need to shave + cannot use any other method of removing hair, that removes the root of the hair (like waxing)
Yes sure but be careful not to flash the lip, as it’s naturally a darker colour and can burn you. Because the upper lip has very light hair, it can take long/always need some maintenance. I still flash it anyway :)
Please, Do you shave between the sessions of IPL ? What Frequency of use a week ? And please is it normal that it has been a week from when I first used IPL braun and I feel no changes at all?? (I only used it one time)
You can shave whenever you want/need to. Only 1 a week, every week for the first 3 months. After that you use it whenever you need to (once a month/once every 3 or 6 months). It’s normal :) keep using it every week for the first 3 months
thank you so much for this review! I really appreciate it. I am wondering: On places like my legs that I already shave, I am not worried about that. But on places like my chin, I am concerned about shaving it for the first time and what if the IPL doesn't work? Then will I have stubble on my chin and face?
I had the same concern with my upper lip! So what I did was: I never shave it, I wax it like I did before. And then, starting 1 week after waxing, I use the IPL in the area once a week. The results are slow and I still have the same routine every month or so (because the hair is so thin) but it does come way less often now :)
I have just purchased the product and only just used it for first time - but on my face I have just snipped the hairs off with nail scissors (that is the problematic long darker ones). When I used to have salon laser treatment this was what they recommended. No I definately don't want to shave my face as that would remove on the fine down, lighter hair too.
Hey Sofia, where do you get that exfoliator glove thingy? Trying to gift this for my mother. Do you use a gel when you're doing it for upper lip/face area by chance? Thank you
I buy mine at the local supermarket, or on Amazon 🤗 with this machine the skin should be dry, so no gel. It works well and doesn’t hurt, just make sure not to flash the lip skin (because it’s darker)
Do you have it on the highest intensity? You can change the intensity on the feather icon. If you have the lowest intensity on, the sensoadaptor will never go high. Let me know :)
I would say it depends of how it feels - as a general rule i would say 2, but if with one flash the area feels warm I would say do rather once and as your progress in the weeks you will naturally be able to do twice in the same area. It's better to be safe and patient :)
I purchased this product with my own money after watching a lot of RUclips reviews. I was not sponsored by this or other IPL brand until the date I’m writing this comment. If a sponsorship would come in the future - after the original date of this comment - I would take it because I had the opportunity to use this product for 1.5 years so far (without external incentive) and can honestly vouch for it. I hope this clarifies, it is an honest review of my experience to date.
It's not a bad idea - because laser gets cheaper and cheaper as the years go by. And if you start out by using the IPL at home, I can imagine that you would need treatments less often right when you do transition to laser - which again, will be cheaper and less inconvenient :)
If it’s in the first 12 weeks, you should do IPL (only razor where you have hair out). After the 12 weeks you can razor + IPL only when hair comes out (in some areas it’s more stubborn/comes back faster for a longer time than others)
Yes I do everything on the bikini área and line 🤗 just always be careful since it's a sensitive area. And be aware of the tone of skin - and whether it's in the range that the machina allows
@@sofiaeveryday thank you so much for replying. I was so confused if i should go for it or not. I am super hairy so I dont want to run out of flashes fast.
Giiiirl absolutely I bought it and use it and swear by it! I don't gain anything by saying this. This is a much better investment than all of the laser sessions I paid for years ago 😭😭😭😭
Generally you can, I never have a problem with it - but pay attention to what your skin feels like. As long as you have no strange sensation, it is totally fine :)
Yes totally normal. Start with the more sensitive areas so you don't have it hot where it's harder for you. If you need, take a break to have it cool down or do different areas on different days (it's not that hot, but in case you are extra sensitive as you are starting our)
Yes absolutely. I used it in the whole bikini line and had no issues 🤗 always be careful of course, and maybe start there so it's not too hot. But it works wonders!
Yes I had the same question, and in the instructions it says it is not recommended actually - because it's a sensitive area and also the skin tone can be darker, and therefore more risky. But I tried it myself and have had no issues :) I started out by testing a small area though - so always be careful and judge for yourself
Thank you! You explained everything so well. You included everything and answered all the wuestions in my head. I will come to you for any device❤
Absolutely brilliant demonstration and talk through, which is helping my decision making. Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Very happy it helped 🤗 I still stand by it today! A great purchase

Very detailed review.!!! This is the best one yet.!! Xo
So happy you found it helpful 😘
Giiirl, I started using this thing about 6 weeks ago and can't wait for the final result 😁
You will LOVE it this summer, it was one of the best things I’ve ever purchased ❤️
Any update? Was it worth it?
Update?
Amazing review! Does it work as new two years after?
Excellent demonstration thank you , I was gifted the pro 5 and only just started using it , this has helped massively, ❤
Such a nice present!! It’s still my best purchase, so worth it! Stick to it and you will thankful for yearssss to come ❤️
What type of moisturiser would you recommend?
Which device is better , braun Or ulike ?
Hello, I would like to know how is ot working on upper lip. As you said, I am scared to shave it. I have mostly peach hair there and few darker. I would love to rid of it.
Thank you! It’s help me a lot!
Happy to hear, Mila :)
Do you do this when you have a lot of hair or should I shave it then use the laser on the little growth?
Shave and do it on the same day/ on no growth
Is it supposed to flash everytime
Was working yesterday but not today ? At all
No flashes?
Guys I'm really skeptical about it, should I buy braun or philips lumea. For both I've heard good reviews about it
From what I gather lumea is also a good product, so I guess you will also get good results with it :) I don’t think you can go wrong with either
My Ipl head has no glass is it safe its the same as hers but in white color
Mine also has no glass :)
Hi!!! Is it painful to use the machine?
Not at all
Do you have to shave(razor) before use?
Yes you do - you have to. The skin should be hair free, but the "root" of the hair needs to be inside the skin (because that's what the light will be hitting and destroying, over the sessions). By flashing the root, the hair will not grow, and over time become weaker and cease to form/form way less often, so you won't have hair growing all the time :)
So you need to shave + cannot use any other method of removing hair, that removes the root of the hair (like waxing)
Hello when you flash it's red or blue??
It's red. Why do you ask? I'm curious 🧐
Thank You ☺️ Do you know the name/model of the laser machine that pulses three times per area by any chance?
hello, can you use it in upper lip area hair? and if so have you and how is the results and how often
Yes sure but be careful not to flash the lip, as it’s naturally a darker colour and can burn you.
Because the upper lip has very light hair, it can take long/always need some maintenance. I still flash it anyway :)
Please, Do you shave between the sessions of IPL ?
What Frequency of use a week ?
And please is it normal that it has been a week from when I first used IPL braun and I feel no changes at all??
(I only used it one time)
You can shave whenever you want/need to.
Only 1 a week, every week for the first 3 months. After that you use it whenever you need to (once a month/once every 3 or 6 months).
It’s normal :) keep using it every week for the first 3 months

Maybe you would get better results by shaving but I just can’t fathom putting a razor on my face and risking it

When I used to have salon laser treatment this was what they recommended. No I definately don't want to shave my face as that would remove on the fine down, lighter hair too.

What about moles, Do you cover them ? if so what do you use for that
Yes never flash the moles! I usually flash around them, or you can paint them with a white makeup pencil. But I think it’s safer to flash around them
Do u need to put gel on the skin before treatment?
No no, the skin should be dry.
Gel is used with laser, this is not a laser :)
@@sofiaeveryday thank uuu loved ur review
Hi, I was wondering if my machine has a problem or if it’s normal
I’m fair-skinned n black hair but the sensoadapt only shows level 1?
Is that normal?
Do you have it on the highest intensity? You can change the intensity on the feather icon. If you have the lowest intensity on, the sensoadaptor will never go high. Let me know :)
It this one better than the phillip lumea prestige?
I didn’t try it. But I decided for this one when I did my research because I saw more reviews on it
How many flashes for one spot ? Once is enough or do I have to do multiple times ?
I would say it depends of how it feels - as a general rule i would say 2, but if with one flash the area feels warm I would say do rather once and as your progress in the weeks you will naturally be able to do twice in the same area. It's better to be safe and patient :)
@@sofiaeveryday Thank you! Just got it today and did patch test. Hope it works for me 🤞🏻
It's definitiv???
Just for transparency, were you sponsored?
I purchased this product with my own money after watching a lot of RUclips reviews. I was not sponsored by this or other IPL brand until the date I’m writing this comment.
If a sponsorship would come in the future - after the original date of this comment - I would take it because I had the opportunity to use this product for 1.5 years so far (without external incentive) and can honestly vouch for it.
I hope this clarifies, it is an honest review of my experience to date.
I got the product 👍
Would you recommend do the IPL at home but in the future the laser in clinic to make it permanent?
It's not a bad idea - because laser gets cheaper and cheaper as the years go by. And if you start out by using the IPL at home, I can imagine that you would need treatments less often right when you do transition to laser - which again, will be cheaper and less inconvenient :)
@@sofiaeveryday thank you
If there is no hair back in one week then what? Should we still razor and IPL or wait for hair follicle to come outside
If it’s in the first 12 weeks, you should do IPL (only razor where you have hair out). After the 12 weeks you can razor + IPL only when hair comes out (in some areas it’s more stubborn/comes back faster for a longer time than others)
Can i hydrate m'y skin right After the treatement?
You can and you should :) not before though - the skin should be dry and bare before (also no deodorant for example)
Is it suitable for pikini area and bikini line? because I want to buy it just for this area.
Yes I do everything on the bikini área and line 🤗 just always be careful since it's a sensitive area. And be aware of the tone of skin - and whether it's in the range that the machina allows
Does it still work like new?
Yes, 1 year in and it works the same :)
@@sofiaeveryday 😘😘😘😘
Hi. I want to ask how many years these 40000 flashes last if i do my whole body?
Before I bought it I thought the same. I think you shouldn’t worry about it, because it’s many many years worth of flashes 🤗
@@sofiaeveryday thank you so much for replying. I was so confused if i should go for it or not. I am super hairy so I dont want to run out of flashes fast.
Honestly plz tell me would it buy or not???
Giiiirl absolutely I bought it and use it and swear by it! I don't gain anything by saying this. This is a much better investment than all of the laser sessions I paid for years ago 😭😭😭😭
Can i use deodorant next day after session?
Generally you can, I never have a problem with it - but pay attention to what your skin feels like. As long as you have no strange sensation, it is totally fine :)
Hello I just bought it and I’m trying it right it’s normal that the device it’s become a little hot while working ?
Yes totally normal. Start with the more sensitive areas so you don't have it hot where it's harder for you. If you need, take a break to have it cool down or do different areas on different days (it's not that hot, but in case you are extra sensitive as you are starting our)
Does it work in the bikini line ?
Yes absolutely. I used it in the whole bikini line and had no issues 🤗 always be careful of course, and maybe start there so it's not too hot. But it works wonders!
Oh thank you cuz I seen so many videos saying not safe ...
Yes I had the same question, and in the instructions it says it is not recommended actually - because it's a sensitive area and also the skin tone can be darker, and therefore more risky.
But I tried it myself and have had no issues :) I started out by testing a small area though - so always be careful and judge for yourself
Do you know if it works on Brazilian ??
When do you start to notice a difference ?
2-3 sessions in you can already see a difference. But the effect will only stay long if you use it for a few months as recommended (once a week)
