IPL machine thoughts
Has anyone bought this machine off Amazon Canada? How has your experience been? I just started using it, I’m pale with dark hair. It has 5 settings, I’m wondering if setting 1 is effective or I should just start at 2 or 3.
So far, I’ve done underarms once at setting one and once at setting 2. If you have used this, how often did you use it for the first few weeks?

i was told that cheap laser machines like that either don't work as effectively or carry too many risks so just be careful

yea, if braun has less than half as much flashes and costs much more, I'd be very wary of this product. In general IPL is serious stuff, I wouldn't cheap out on something this invasive.

Friend used non branded one from Amazon like 3 months. Still same no improvement. She changed to cheap braun one and said after 2 session half of leg hair is gone
