I was looking for a laser hair removal systems as i was getting fed up with un-wanted hairs around my face and also delicate areas ;)

Alot of them are really expensive but i did find one on Remington for £79.99 and decided its worth getting as this was the cheapest i have found

has anyone else got one?

according to the remington website it won an award last year :beer:

As i am a new user i cant post the link so if anyone could post it for me that would be great or just search UK Remington and it is on the home page :)

    I don't have that particular model but I do have the Remington i-Light Pro, which I paid £140 from Amazon. I've been using it since the end of May and noticed a big reduction in how fast the hair is growing (I use it on my underarms, legs and bikini line). I do have a few areas where it doesn't grow or falls out as soon as it appears.

    You want to use it on your face but be aware can only use IPL on the lower half of your face (so it's no good for eyebrows, etc). Make sure you have the right skin tone and hair colour for it to work. I have brown and blonde hairs on my legs and it's not affecting the blonde, only the brown. My unit only switches on if your skin tone is pale enough.

    Edit: It's worth noting the model you're looking at is only 6,000 flashes, compared to 200,000 flashes with the unit I have. Once you reach 6,000 flashes you might need to either replace the bulb or the whole unit.
