I bought a cheaper IPL device from Amazon. I’ve also owned the Tria x4 (which is an actual laser device) & it works well. I used it on my face. The reason I recently bought the IPL device is because actual laser hair removal, in my case the Tria, has a smaller, more targeted head. This means it has a smaller area of efficacy with each zap, but it will work “stronger” if that makes sense. The IPL uses a broad light spectrum, meaning it will cover more surface area per zap. So, I use the IPL for the rest of my body (arms, legs, etc.) If I could go back in time I would have just purchased the IPL because it’s a lot cheaper and I’ve been getting great results from it. I’m not done with my treatments since I only bought it a couple months ago, but so far I’ve had about 75% hair reduction and the hair that does grow is super soft and thin.

Oh my god is that you? That’s incredible!

This is the one I have. Do you think it’ll get results?

Yes, I also used to get bad bumps on the backs of my thighs, it was terrible lol. It’s gotten a lot better so far! I personally like to be as smooth and hairless as possible lol. Here’s the link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZ5PLB8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Ive gone to two laser hair removal places. The first was really success (yes, expensive). That was about 5 years ago. She had mentioned multiple times that it was the top of the line hair laser machine (she said it cost like $100k) I stopped going to her because I moved. I went to another one and I could tell that this was not nearly as strong as the previous lady's machine. You know it works when it HURTS. I didn't even bother returning. However, I did just get a home laser hair remover from amazon on prime day, and I'm really optimistic because it hurts like mf and I smell that lovely hair burning smell. Here's the link, it has some really good reviews. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZ5PLB8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_fjbNFbA8VZKFN?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Not the op, but I went with this one during a black-friday sale: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PZ5PLB8

Note that this is IPL (flashes of light), and not technically laser. Home units are lower powered, and non-permanent.

After a month it had visible results on facial hair. I no longer needed the tinted concealer! I could just shave and go straight to foundation without a blue tint.

I stopped because I was worried it might interfere with laser hair removal... after a month it started growing back just like before (possibly darker? The concealer seems to be having a harder time... though maybe it's just dysphoria is more acute). Since I'm not going to get facial hair removed during COVID (I'll get the rest removed while wearing a mask), I started back up on the home-administered IPL.

Finally, note that this covers a very small area. It takes me over 20 minutes to do my face, following the instructions (4x in alternating patterns). I wouldn't want to do this over larger body areas.
