FUNCTIONALITY

According to the company’s research, a significant reduction of hair growth is observed after the first two sessions, the optimal result is after 4-5 applications.

First 2 months the treatment should be done once every 2 weeks, then once every 4-6 weeks. The interval between treatments should not be less than 2 weeks.

Before using the device for the first few months it is necessary to shave the relevant parts of the skin.

We did only one session, so we could not really test it, it takes at least two months. But it is possible to assess the features of operation in one session as well.

Top up the device with the adapter. To do this, press the button on the top panel of the epilator, which is also used to switch the intensity modes.

Hold the device at a 90° angle to the skin. When positioned correctly, the green light comes on when the pulse is ready. If somewhere the epilator is loose on the skin, the indicator will not turn on. See green – press the button – there is a light pulse. Move the epilator to a new skin area – light comes on – press and go. d. For optimum results, it is essential that the areas to be treated partially overlap.

It is very simple and the procedure does not take long. The most important thing is to determine the degree of exposure, t.e. choose the right mode. We started with the manufacturer’s recommendation of “1”, and in some areas we tried “2” as well. I felt a slight warmth during the procedure. No skin discomfort, redness, etc. d. – Never have, never should.

The size of the spot light is great for underarms and bikini zone, but for legs it could be a bit more work front.

ERGONOMICS

It fits comfortably in your hand. Its size and shape are optimal: the hand does not get tired during the procedure, even if the whole body is treated.

CONTROL

Elementary. Everything listens to one button, and the lamp is turned on by pressing the trigger, which is located just under your finger. Easy to grasp in a jiffy.

CLEANING AND CARING

It is done with the cloths that are included in the set. We recommend cleaning the head each time before and after use and also during use if necessary.

A cloth pouch is designed for storage. But it’s very thin, so I think it’s kind of scary to trust him with such an expensive device. I would have liked a convenient storage case. It can be replaced by the box you bought it in.

OVERALL IMPRESSION

Of course we can’t say anything about the performance of the device, we had it for only a week. e. only had one treatment that did not change anything. But it’s easy and pleasant to use, we like the procedure, and the ergonomics of the device.

Of course it is subjective, but I got the impression that after one session the hairs already grew slower. It’s hard to say whether there are fewer of them or not, but the rate of growth has decreased.
