Hey, has anyone got one of the cheaper (~£100) IPL laser hair removal devices which are for sale on Amazon.
I hear about the high prices of professional treatment but are the much cheaper devices capable of achieving similar results at a fraction of the price?
Branded devices are ~£300 - is this just paying for a name or does the quality significantly increase? |

Hi there,
I used a cheaper one with no luck, went in the bin after a good few months.
Then bought the Phillips Lumea one and it's really amazing - been using it for a year now and there's hardly any hair regrowth - just need to keep on top of any fluff every so often. It's a game changer, especially for someone with dark hair like me.
Good luck whatever you do.

We have the phillips expensive one as well.. only takes a few minutes occasionally and the hair grown is very, very slow and it stays smooth longer (no chicken skin).
We found it worth it and both can use it. |

I've been using a cheaper one now for the past 2 weeks and it's definitely slowed down hair growth and I've started getting areas where hair doesn't grow back, It just won't be a conclusive yes they are worth it to me until I've used it a bit more, I've never tried a branded one so wouldn't know the difference |

"Ok interesting. So maybe a branded name is worth the increased price then "
Yes, IMHO, but my hair is dark and used to be thick, even though I waxed for years. The cheaper one slowed down growth, but nowhere near what the Phillips did. I guess it all depends on how much and what colour hair you have as well as your pain tolerance. I used mine at full strength initially.
If you need any more guidance, feel free to reach out.
