I used this product for my legs. I actually had to stop use after two sessions because I found out I was pregnant, but there are spots that haven’t grown back and all the hair is much thinner, so I call that a win! I have really thick, dark hair on my lower legs and a high pain tolerance, so I started out at the 3rd setting. It doesn’t hurt me, just a soft pinch and once you’re used to it, very easy to move up the level. My only negative comment is that it’s a large surface and you have to touch the entire area to the skin, so it’s harder to do areas like around the knee, but not impossible.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.Easy to use and came with a pair of glasses to save your eyes. I did end up buying a second pair so that myself and my wife would both have our eyes covered while using. Settings and remaining flashes are easily viewable on the LCD screen while changing the strength of flash is very simple. I recommend purchasing if you are looking for an at home solution to unwanted hair growth.If you're a female with the unfortunate gift of facial hair, do not hesitate - buy this one! I have fair skin and thick black hairs, which make me a great candidate. My boyfriend used it, and it worked great on his skin which is more tan than my vampire paleness. I’m on my sixth treatment, and my chin hairs are growing back finer and slower. I've also used this on my armpits with great success.I read a few reviews about going over tats. DO NOT use in on your tattoos!!! “During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat” (Mayo Clinic)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.Easy to use!I purchased this device last year. It work for a few goes, then stopped working completely. Its under warranty but the supplier won't respond to emails. Feel completely ripped off. Do not recommend.Also not happy that it wasn't made clear that a US plug is needed to attach to use the device.Do not recommend you waste your money of this.
