I think the sensors break on these quite easily. Mine used to show that I was 6-7 white dots. A year later or so, it shows red absolutely everywhere. My face pale and yet still shows I’m too dark. I’m like an NC30/35. Braun should really work on a way to fix this, it’s just not right to pay £300-£500 for an ipl machine and the sensors conk out before the flashes even finish

@Aeroocd 3 года назад

I am so glad this works!! I had this IPL 10 years ago and had great success with it. I needed to treat some remaining patches of hair on my legs so I bought another one but the sensors keep reading as if I am too dark. I have a summer base tan but definitely am not dark. I was in the process of sending it back to have the sensors checked! Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to try it.

@vanyasimeonov5119 7 лет назад

Am I supposed to be shaving my face too prior to using the machine, upkeep of shaving face would be quite the challenge, since I am not used to shaving, and I am sure hair would appear before 7 days(or the next session). Thank You in advance :)

@shivasaffari 4 года назад

Tnx a lot, and I have a q. Does it work on all brand devices? N if it does, isn't it harmful for those darker areas? My devices won't work on my bikini area, which I'm so sad about, but I want to make sure it doesn't hurt me in long time use. N one more q, after applying the hack, can I use it all over my bikini, I mean All Over, not just the upper part. Tnx a lot again

Is this hack useful for shorter areas than the flash window area between the 2 senses? For example, can i use it around elbows or on one finger? Or you believe, that i don't need this hack for managing shorter areas? By the way, you are very helpful and pleasing to watch! Thank you so much.

@alliedatheistalliance6776 4 года назад

Thank you! I've got a remington machine, and it doesn't have light sensors but annoying contact sensors which have to be pressed in and don't seem to work very well. But the masking tape plus some blu tac helped a lot!

I never comment on youtube videos but this was so helpful, you saved me hundreds of dollars with this hack, my gosh, I am so thankful. I have very light skin and very dark hair (so the ideal for this device supposedly) and it wouldn't flash on the areas of my skin that I specifically bought this product for.

@charlotterose8549 7 лет назад

Don't wax!!! Or epilate!! And any other form of hair removal that removes from the root!!! The light works by pulsing down the hair shaft into the root! If you rip the hair out from the root before hand it will have no effect what so ever! Just shave!!!

@MamaNiravane 6 лет назад

Hi thank you! I would say that on the most part my legs there has been a 85-90% reduction in hair. . . the hair that I have left is now very fine. . . I had very dark coarse hair to begin with. The hair growth is very patchy ( only small patches where it hasn't worked probably because I didn't use the machine on that area)

@surbhisharma1122 5 лет назад

hey , I bought this ipl laser after watching ur videos , the hack works like a charm , but in bikini area and underarm area I don't see any improvement .after 3 sittings.how much time did it take u....plus after using on bikini area , it gets very itchy due to razor , is there any other alternative

@MamaNiravane 5 лет назад

Maybe waxing or trimming the hair very short before using. This will decrease the chance of getting ingrown hairs etc. And hopefully reduce irritation too. With my underarms I would say the improvem5was after about 3/4 sessions but did take longer for it to stop the hair growth and even now I have very fine hair so still need to do it every 3-4 months

@jk-er2zt Год назад

Since this video is 6 yr ago, I'm gonna assume the unit in the video is very old unit. Those sensors are very quick and even the power cord is removable. Nowadays model pro 5 is exact opposite. Sensors are very slow and shows red most of the time if you don't know how to use it. Powercord is permanently attached. Old models are light years better.

I wouldn't have thought so as the laser penetrates the hair shaft. . . so although the surface of the hair would be dark the bit which the IPL needs to get to nearer the follicle needs to be dark. . .I hope that makes sense
