This hair remover is so worth the money. I usually have to shave every other day to keep myself sane. My armpits I shaved every day. To put it in perspective, I get 5 o’clock shadow 12 hrs after shaving my legs, bikini line, etc. Hair removal creams like Nair only worked on soft fine hairs. Didn’t do squat for my thicker leg hair and bikini line. This thing, however, has totally kicked butt with keeping hair growth to a minimum or stopped it all together. I realize this is not a permanent solution, but it’s good enough for freeing up more time in my life. Also, be aware that you cannot use this on tattoos. If you look at my photo, you can see all my hair that’s growing on and around the tattoo, and that’s why. To the left of my tattoo, you can see it’s mostly bald. Which is awesome since I haven’t shaved in 5 days! There’s not even stubble aside from the couple spots I clearly keep missing lol. Also, I’ve been using it for about a month now.

I am one of the 5% to 10% of women in the U.S. who have hirsutism. Finding a practical way to remove the excess hair on a permanent basis is a chore. Shaving irritates my skin, electrolysis sounds quite painful, and professional laser hair removal is expensive and takes a lot of time. I have tried an epilator (ouch!), the NoNo! hair removal system (really just flashing lights), and creams like Nair (the smell! Didn’t work, either). I’ve resorted to plucking, which is a chore, but at least gives me a day or two of clear skin. I was excited to have the chance to try the Smooth Skin Pure IPL Hair Removal System (HRS). At home laser? Sign me up! My last experience with laser was a 3-visit package that was purchased as a gift for me. It didn’t do much for me, though, as the employee told me that it would take a total of 6-9 visits for me to see any results. At the time, it was around $300 for 3 visits, and I didn’t have those kinds of funds. Having at home option for a fraction of the cost? Sounded too good to be true. At the time of this writing, I have used the HRS over the course of 8 weeks (one treatment per week). I’m a good candidate for the HRS – I’m so pale I make vampires look tan. The lighter your skin and the darker the hair is, the better the results. One thing I will recommend is buying some eye protection. You’ll want to find goggles that are specifically for laser light. I remembered this from when I had treatment before. The cost is about the same as basic sunglasses from that one place that says it has stuff from A to Z. You don’t have to, but I did take that extra step. The instructions don’t tell you much. There’s no prep work other than to shave the area you are treating so that the follicle can be treated by the light directly. My first treatment, I did shave the area with a regular multi-blade razor, which caused me to suffer from painful bumps for the next week. For the remainder of the treatments, I used a Norelco razor. It doesn’t cut the hair as close, but I wasn’t miserable either. The HRS has a standard and a gentle setting. I started out with the standard setting but after the first two hits, my skin felt stingy, so I used the gentle setting going forward. The one thing I despised was the transformer block on the cord. There’s not an on/off switch, so it powers up as soon as it is plugged in. The transformer is quite heavy (heavier than the unit) and was in my way as I tried to use it at my small dressing area. It tried to slide off the table as I struggle with the excess cord. Not a fan of this design. The treatments don’t take long to do. I think it takes me between 5-10 minutes to do my face and throat. Other than the actual hit of light, I experienced no pain or discomfort. I’ve included a before-and-after collage of the results. I will need several more treatments, but I think it’s a start. I would give this a try if you suffer from hirsutism like I do or have other hair removal concerns. You’ll need a large area to work so that the transformer box can sit and not slide off the worksurface.
