Amazing review! Does it work as new two years after?
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.
Is it supposed to flash everytime Was working yesterday but not today ? At all No flashes?
What type of moisturiser would you recommend?
Thank You ☺️ Do you know the name/model of the laser machine that pulses three times per area by any chance?
Excellent demonstration thank you , I was gifted the pro 5 and only just started using it , this has helped massively, ❤

hello, can you use it in upper lip area hair? and if so have you and how is the results and how often
@sofiaeveryday
Жыл бұрын
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 :)

Do you have to shave(razor) before use?
@sofiaeveryday
Жыл бұрын
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)
How many flashes for one spot ? Once is enough or do I have to do multiple times ?
@sofiaeveryday
Жыл бұрын
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 :)

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)
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?
@sofiaeveryday
Жыл бұрын
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.

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
@sofiaeveryday
Жыл бұрын
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)

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

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

Would you recommend do the IPL at home but in the future the laser in clinic to make it permanent?
@sofiaeveryday
2 жыл бұрын
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 :)

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)

I purchased this product with my own money after watching a lot of KZread 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.
