Home IPL machines? Do they work?

bagginslover

I'm on a roll asking for recommendations today!!

I am hairy. I realise IPL isn't a quick fix, and I know its not perminent (thought I'd get thet out of the way ) but a reduction in hair over time would be amazing in itself.

To the home kits work? If so, which are best? I am on a buget, but I am willing to save up if its going to save me in the long run

I apparently have ideal skin/hair colour and type for the treatment, which is encouraging, I just cant afforth the £1000's it would cost me at a salon.

Thanks in advance.

I to am interested in this. I shaved places which I shouldn't have when I was younger and now hairy in places I shouldn't be. I to would have to save up but even if like you say reduces it or lightens it would be a bonus

Oopps forgot to say I have been looking over last few months but the reviews are just to conflicting to warrant a large purchase without really knowing

Hi

I've been reading some reviews of the Philips Lumea on Amazon and they're pretty good! I was going to buy an epilator, but now I'm seriously considering buying one of these things.

Hi. I bought a Remington ipl (can't remember full name) from amazon sale 2 years ago. Cost £113 which is a lot but by far the cheapest and cheap enough I thought I'd give it a go.
Miracle!! I now need to treat my under arms and bikini about once every 3 months. Downside is it takes sooooo long to do legs as the 'light' bit of the 'thing'! Is so tiny. I only did it about 4 times on lower legs and gave up. However hair is much thinner on them now.

I personally would recommend it

The problem with the lumia is that once the lights gone its gone where as a lot of the others you just replace the cartridge light which are about £20. do epilators hurt?
