Thank you for sharing your journey. Can you talk about “strawberry leg” situation and tips for helping us pale girls with the legs. I’m going to continue researching this laser removal for the pits for sure!
The best product I've found for strawberry legs is a body lotion with lactic acid (my favorite is the CVS knock off for Amlactin.) You do have to be consistent with it but it works! (It also is the ONLY thing that has worked for my keratosis pilaris.)
oooh19 1) strawberry leg is basically tiny pockets of color in each hair follicle. So instead of one shade going down, you look polka-dotted with tiny darker flecks. On pale skin, it really stands out. Sometimes exfoliating helps....but not always.
I have this device! And I've been using it since December (granted not every single week as I get busy and forget sometimes) and so far I have notices patches where the hair is a lot finer and some places where it seems to have stopped growing back. For reference, I have light skin and black thick hair. It's been working for me so far, the only downside to the Kenzzi device I've found is that in the past few months it's laser head (lack of a better term) has started to get really hot while doing my legs.
@@devinachaste649 I can't say with 100% certainty, because I've only been using it for roughly 4 months. So it's still possible it may grow back just really fine.
@@relaxation9670 I haven't used it on my face, but according to the instruction manual you can, just not to use it near your eyes, so just around sideburns, chin, jawline and upper lip areas
I dont know if you've heard of Lume deodorant but it doesnt have aluminum or baking soda and works so well that my pits went from being dark to very light. That's how clogged they were from using so many bad deodorants. Just thought I'd mention it :)
My sister bought this, and I was using it for a few weeks (bc I wanted to buy one but wanted to test it first) & I noticed a huge difference still - it’s been a couple months since I’ve used it and I still feel the results were very noticeable! I will be purchasing myself once everything is more back to normal!
I ordered - thanks for the code!! I was excited to see you can use it on your face too!! I have been too nervous to have hair removal in an office and didn't want to pay so much but I get discomfort from shaving and I really needed a solution. I have the same under-arm, thick dark hair on pale skin that gets a 2 oclock shadow and it never looks nice even when shaved. I am so excited to try something at home!
Hmm, do you think its possible the at-home treatment worked particularly well because you had gone to do in-office treatment previously? I trust your recommendations is truly based on a positive experience but I must wonder if starting with at-home will be as effective as you experienced? Thanks for the video though! I’ve been planning to get this done within the next couple years and its good to get info from a source I trust.
Great question! I'd never done my legs before and I got erm....a bit more detailed with my bikini line, so those two areas were previously un treated and I felt like I got similar results on both untreated and treated areas. Of course the already treated areas have a bit of a leg up and needed less Kenzzi sessions, but I have seen results overall.
Krystle Murphy Chiming in to say that I got my bikini area lasered because I got wicked razor burn and waxing was the same. Summer was always super challenging! My treatment for my bikini line was in a professional setting and there was about 5-10 minutes of sensitivity in the area, then totally back to normal. No bumps, no pain after those few minutes. Such a relief after all those years of nothing else working for me.
You have very nearly convinced me. I hate my bikini line hair and I’m not a huge fan of my hairy armpits, but when I shave or wax I get like cancer-lump level ingrown hairs. It’s horrible. So I haven’t removed hair for five + years, and I’m still not super confident about it.
the at home treatment sounds like something that would be amazing for arm hair... not wanting to remove it, but to weaken it and make it lighter would be great
I've been wanting to try laser hair removal for a long time now, and after your recommendation, I just purchased this before the video even ended!! Before now, I had no idea which one to get or research more into, so thank you so much for this video; I can't wait for my kenzie to get here, and see how well it works for me... my hair is dark and thick, and wherever I shave I'm always getting ingrown hairs, which constantly leaves my skin red and angry. I will try to update after I can use it a couple of times!!
Hearing you talk about the lazer hair removal experience made me glad that I never got it. I get dark hair on my upper lip and under arms and decided to just to the IPL device. I got one that was pretty cheap and I haven't done it I a while but I feel like it was working. I would totally get that one if I didn't already have one. Thanks for making this video! I was helpful
Yeah, those red dots happened to me when I had some laser hair removal done at Ideal Image (would never ever recommend). It took over a couple of weeks for them to go away and I was terrified. I've been eyeing the Kenzzi and I don't feel comfortable going back to a laser hair removal place, so I'd much prefer trying an at home device.
Hey Kailey!! I love your videos and think you’re absolutely amazing!! Random question: have you ever done/ considered doing a video where you detail all of the types of hair products that are out there? To make it not as long you could split it into two- one for in shower/ treatments and one for styling? I didn’t know about half of the products that you use until I started watching your videos, and I would love to know about products in general and what they’re good for! Also, maybe you could include your favorite high end and drugstore versions of each product? Thanks, I love you!!!
I really want to do laser especially bc I have black hair and very light skin so it would be sooo amazing for me to do Btw: thanks for all the likes on this comment!
fraeniii_ gr i just turned 18 and bc I kept hearing you should be older before you start so I’m really wanting to start maybe I’ll buy the one she is talking about Bc that’s pretty affordable and great
I just got my Kenzzi about a month ago, and so far I love the results. As someone with thick dark hair that grows quickly I couldn’t fathom paying salon prices when I honestly didn’t think there would be enough of a difference to justify the cost. I don’t expect anything will make my hair stop growing at all but if I can shave less than once a day that’s a win for an at home device. So far after about 4 sessions the growth has slowed down on the areas I’ve treated which are my bikini, underarms and legs. For me, the legs show the fastest results but I will caution you to moisturize after each session if you have sensitive skin. Maybe it’s the area where I live or my specific skin type but I experienced super itchy dry patches a few days after my third session but it was nothing some lotion or body oils couldn’t fix. If I’m honest I was slacking on my skin care so incorporating some self care right after I use the ipl is nice.
@@divyadubey2007 I’m not snaked mole rat smooth but I don’t shave very often now and the hair that does grow is softer and more sparse. Every area is different so for me it worked best on my legs, bikini is pretty good, and my under arms are better but they need the most shaving.
@@divyadubey2007 probably every other week, like day 10 or so I shave my legs because the hair I do have is black and my legs are pale so even if it’s sparse you can see it (IMO). My bikini area I do maybe once a week at the most often and my underarms I honestly let go about the same since I’m not wearing tank tops right now because the weather is cold. 🥶
This video was the push for me to get my own at home laser treatment device. I have pcos and get lot of hair on my neck and face I use to get treatment at a clinic but stopped because of the expense this is so much more cost effective! Thank you for the recommendation
Did it work completely for you? I have PCOS as well and have been told it isn't as effective with hormone issues. I never saw hair loss but it did slow regrowth in one underarm more than the other.
Just ordered one! Normally I don't really buy products recommended in videos, but I know how honest you are and that you would never recommend something you didn't believe in. I've been thinking about laser hair removal for years, and I cannot wait to see the results!
Just ordered with the code and it also gave me free shipping! I did the in office laser hair removal years ago on my chin and underarms because I got ingrown hairs fairly badly. It was incredibly expensive for those two areas, I never got the fallout and always got the red welts/bumps with every treatment. It did slow the growth and I don't get the ingrown hairs now. I'm hoping this will work on my legs and give me at least the same results. **I just wanted to mention that I've been to get facials more recently and they noted that I'd previously had laser hair removal, they offer that as well, but also noted my PCOS. She was open with me that hormone issues would hinder laser hair removal results and was surprised the original office didn't warn me it probably wouldn't work. But the number of years in between made me unsure if I'd even been diagnosed at that time.
Love that you’re talking about this!!! 😍😍😍😍 thanks for openly talking about hair removal and normalising it, as a hairy gal who’s been struggling with bodily hair, I appreciate it 😘😘😘
The only side effects I’ve seen are dry patches but I have allergies to things like pollen one grass whatcha irritate my skin easily. Using a nice moisturizer after each session took care of that one right away. On my legs, I noticed a few spots that looked like ingrown hairs after my first two seasons but those went away after that. I think it was fair that was already trapped under the skin just coming out and finally shedding. As for brown marks I have actually seen a reduction in hyperpigmentation on my skin, old scars have even started to fade. These are just the results I have seen in the last month or so from personal experience, but I hope that helps.
This is the video i needed right now! Your timing is perfect! I always get my underarms sugared (similar to waxing but sooo much better!) because it’s the only thing that helps my armpits. Just like you said, I get really stubbly, red, itchy and ingrown hairs from shaving my armpits and it’s the most miserable experience. Sugaring doesn’t cause that for me tho, so i enjoy that. But i always wanted another option. And i looked into laser treatments at a spa but it’s wayy out of my price range :(( this little device i will definitely look into! It sounds like the perfect alternative for me 😄
Kayley this video was so helpful thank you! You answered questions I didn’t even know I had 🙃 I’ve always wondered about laser hair removal. Lately I’ve been contemplating how painful trying an epilator would be 🤔😱 I’ve been battling chronic illness for so long that I haven’t bothered shaving in ages... and it’s so nice I can’t imagine ever having to go back to shaving regularly 😇 there has to be a better way! Love you Kayley and love watching your videos. I love the fancy Kayley Melissa show, but I really enjoyed this super casual chat style as well. Loved hanging out with you, and see you again next week! 🥰
Oh, haha, and girl... in high school I remember deciding to try an at home bikini line hot wax kit... it came with medicated numbing wipes to numb your skin. Haha never again 😂 I had no idea what I was doing. Some places just shouldn’t be numbed. And the wax didn’t even work!
@@divyadubey2007 To be honest I only used it three times in different areas. When I was using it, I felt it zapping me. If you are truly going to use it, I think it can work. If you are not going to put the time and effort, it is not worth the money.
I know this is a sponsored video but I use Kenzzi and I saw results after two uses (Level 5) once a week religiously. Now is week 9 and the difference is CRAZY ... If you are like me and everything hurts lol my tricks are shaving a couple hours before the treatment, if you leave hair it will hurt like a rubber band, and don't laugh but in my face, I use numbing cream because that's the way I roll lol I hate pain. but I totally recommend it it totally works
I hate shaving and get really irritated skin, ingrown hairs, bumps and itchiness, so I started waxing. For the convenience I went to a salon a few times, but now I have done it at home with the wax strips - not perfectly, but no one looks at my armpits super up close so this is great (and SUPER cheap)
I’ve had my eyebrows done with electrolysis. It took a 30 minute session a few weeks apart and then a 15 minute session every few weeks, and then many months apart sporadically for regrowth. One of the best purchases of my life. I can pluck but it would give me very painful ingrown hairs on my forehead. The whole permanent change cost me less than $300 total, but you do have to be patient and go back to the spa every few weeks, and later every few months. This was at Laser Skin Care in Greensboro and I highly recommend them! The pain was about the same as plucking, maybe a little sharper but a short pain per pluck and not a lasting pain.
Hi Kayley! I have had a similar experience with laser hair removal and I need some touch-ups but I'm not willing to go through the hassle and expense--especially now. Just wanted to let you know I ordered this (with your code!) because I trust you not to steer me wrong. Thanks for the great videos!
I was looking into this way back in December but was just too scared. Thanks for sharing, i gotta buy it now! I hope you get a good commission for it ❤️
I stopped shaving my armpits 6 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made, lol. Most of my girlfriends also stopped shaving their pits. So, believe it or not, it's very STRANGE for me to see bald armpits now. I always notice yours in videos as well but not for the reason you think. hahah D:
I’ve had full body laser, I love it changed my life ngl. I need to get top ups but can’t cos of current situation, so I’m thinking of getting a at home device but wasn’t sure because of the different laser type. Recently I have started wondering about any long term effects to the skin because obviously it hasn’t been around long enough for full studies. Want if this causes skin issues in the future for me. Idk I will go back for top up because I want to keep my results.
I really like it for touch ups! I think the only possible thing to keep in mind as far as mixing it in with office visits is that you don't want to use your device too close to any in office treatment (Kenzzi has the exact time in their instructions, I think it's a couple weeks if memory serves). I'm really happy using it to maintain and enhance my in office results.
I did laser years ago but I didn’t keep up with it. I have pcos and a full beard-like I shave my face every day. I like my men’s electric razor but I might have to try this! I’ve tried most forms of hair removal (electrolysis at 11 years old was so horrible)
I’ve been getting in-office treatments since 2015 for my... private area and legs. I was consistent and had my appointments every month uptil 2017 when I moved for college. My legs, knee down, barely grows now it has just patches where a couple of hairs grow. But my thighs still get quite a lot of hair just nothing as much as it was pre laser. My private area still grows but also not as much as before and it only went back to growing more around 2017 when I started going in office twice a year only. I noticed the most change on my arms cause they got only 4-6 treatments and they grow way less than before. I’ve been thinking about getting the at home device because my underarms barely got any treatment and they drive me crazy when I’m abroad. I was wondering though, is it easy to do your bikini area? Like the insides? Because just shaving that is hard.
I always wanted to do this but thought it would be too expensive. I'll definitely be buying the at-home device once I get some more money in my pocket. this was such a good video, thank you for making it!
I have wanted laser removal forever but I am a natural redhead. I know it does not work on blonde hair so it wouldn't work on my legs, but my underarm and bikini hair is very red, I was wondering if it would work there on the darker red hair?
I've been doubting about getting laser hair removal for do long! I'm really self conscious about my under arm hair, and my armpits have been getting more sensitive after shaving. But I'm afraid I'll regret it later on in life if I completely zap it. Maybe one day I won't care anymore about what people think of my body hair? I don't know... 🙈
The nice thing is, is that it starts out slow. In just the first couple of treatments your hair just becomes thinner and softer. I started with in office treatments and it made a world of difference on just the itch level. My stubble made my armpits so itchy I would be shaving the next day. With the laser hair removal I honestly forget for about it for a few days which is really nice
I get where you're coming from...my brother commenting on that he could see the BLONDE hair on my chin and neck embarrassed me into shaving daily. Didn't help that and just got darker and ingrown after that. That's why I went for the in office sessions that were $800 an area, literally that much for the chin area and again for underams. The under $200 for this one is a much better investment and I've seen several people talking about their journey with this one.
You should try native deodorant. My arm pits used to hate being shaved but since I used that deodorant and shaving and at home laser, I haven't had issues. It really moisiturises the arm pits and smells nice
I had laser hair removal from Ideal Image and it was super expensive and very very painful. I do however love the results. I haven’t gone in for any touch ups and so I think this tool you recommended will help with that! My hair is a lot finer and very manageable now! Hopefully my hubby will let me buy it!
I have a different brand one. I wanted laser hair removal for years and then finally broke down and bought this device. It was easy to do and I saw results after just a treatment or two, but then I got busy and stopped using it. Thanks for the reminder to do it again. It is shorts season soon after all. Not like we're supposed to leave the house though. 😄😢
I've been doing IPL at office, and I have many moles all over all my body. They never said anything or paid attention to them... Is that bad or good... I don't know. But for a year now I don't have any problem with my moles.
So what do you mean when you say the hair grows back? Is it after office treatments too? I have quite pale skin and very dark hair and have been struggling with making the decision to shave, wax, or laser. And if it really is worth the money. They say it kills the folicle and once its gone it cant grow back... But it does? And how long did you do office treatments? And how permanent are the results really?
Samantha Something Hey Samantha, I’m like you with pale skin and super dark hair (and an extra bonus of having A LOT of hair) and it’s very obvious if I haven’t shaved for a couple of days. Even when I have shaved, I still get dark marks where the hair has been cut, and because my hair is so thick, waxing HURTS. I had three sessions in office so far and yes the hair does grow back, just not as much. But for me, even after my first session, the reduction in hair alone was worth it. My hair was also thinner, and some of the hairs turned blonde. For the three sessions I had (once/ month for three months - had to stop because of covid), I hardly had to shave in between sessions. I think the general consensus is that you need to get 8-10 sessions for your initial treatment, and then 1-2 times per year after that to keep the hair growth down. The area of your body matters too - it’s most effective on armpits and least effective on areas like your upper lip and “snail trail”. You’ll probably still have to shave etc. to be properly hairless, it will just take way less time because you have so much less hair and you’ll do it less frequently. Hope this helps! Overall I would highly recommend :)
I get professional laser hair removal and LOVE it. I’d recommend if you wear tanks/shorts/swim suits a lot (like I do living in Hawaii). I’m sooooo happy with mine.
I’ve been considering laser hair removal for a while now and this video was very helpful! Have you found that laser hair removal helps reduce ingrown hairs?
The in office sessions reduced my ingrown hair issues to nonexistent. I just bought this at home device that hopefully will do the same for the ones on my legs.
doesn't this make skin more sensitive to the sun(blisters)? then you go from covering up due to hair to covering up due to sun exposure so what's the point?
I love the idea of at home laser hair removal but I’m on week 8 or 9 with the Kenzzi and I really haven’t noticed much of a difference at all. I’m a good candidate coloring wise too, I have dark brown hair and fair skin. I keep worrying it’s because of user error, but I am following the directions. 😔
This is so helpful!! Do you know about the effect of going out in the sun shortly after using it? i.e. is if better to use it in the colder months because of skin irritability from the sun? Also when is your discount code good for? I also love your hair and nail color in this video
I have the Philips lazer and it says to not sunbathe one day before or two days after treatment. However normal every day sunlight eg walking to your car isnt an issue though. Wear sunblock as usual. It's to start in winter as you have more time for treatment to remove hair before summer x
Hi Kayley! Thank you for giving your recommendation for this. Do you know if this device will work for someone who’s never done laser hair removal? I’ve always wanted to do it, but never got around to it.
I just got mine turned it on for the first time and the green light keeps flashing without the blue lights coming on, is that normal? Thank you for bringing this product into my life! I hate my armpits and hoping this will help! The convos we have lol
I'd be worried, if the hair gets finer because of the laser, wouldn't the risk of ingrown hair go up? Near my knee I have some hairs so fine, they all don't even manage to break through the last layer of skin. Wouldn't there be a risk of that happening everywhere if I'd use laser?
So I actually got ingrowns pretty badly on my legs, and this has helped. I can't speak specifically to your situation, but generally the hair has gotten finer or stopped growing entirely and I haven't seen anywhere near as many ingrowns.
I have coarse(ish) leg hair, and I have used an epilator, sugaring and waxing on them and I ALWAYS have that happen when the hairs grow back (not coming through the last layer of skin).
I have a birthmark on my face and I get laser treatments to break up the blood vessels, and whenever they crank up the strength, I always have the red circles like you had!
I did some research because I wanted to order the ipl machine. Unfortunately if you look into the brand a bit more it doesn't come up as good. So I didn't order it, I went with a different brand that was only €60,- for the same machine 😳 Everyone should make there own decisions but I would recommend reading some reviews before buying.
Thanks for your response! I actually noticed the same thing in January and reached out to Kenzzi to ask, because safety and efficacy are important. And I wasn't going to use it if it was just 3rd party labeling. They manufacture in their own factory with specific safety standards. Their outer casing molds are the same as others on the market, unfortunately, but their tech inside is carefully watched throughout the process and is superior to others on the market. So basically, it looks similar on the outside, but is not on the inside. If you have additional questions, I encourage you to speak with their customer service.
I understand that the inside might be different. And I'm not saying the cheaper one will work just as well. But, the one I choose had good reviews and full product specifications. On their website there are no product specification to find. At least not by me in the 20 minutes I spend looking.
@@berthamartinez2143 it's from A Dutch company, unfortunately they don't ship to the US. Sorry. But just search online, so some research on the brands and choose the one that you feel confident in buying. If it's the one in this video or another as long as you stand behind your decision go for it.
R Verbeek @R Verbeek I live juste next to Germany. Could you tell me the brand you choose, please ? Thank for the note ! I was also seeing many other choices looking quite alike and couldn’t understand why there is a huge difference in prices.
So all my hair is blonde. So I can’t labor? I’ve shaved and waxed and my hair grows so fast. I’m sick of waxing because it hurts and not worth it. I shave and like you, it’s there the next day. I also get irritated when shaving. What could I do?
I’ll have to check into this. Because my skin is so fair & my underarm hair is so dark, you can still see the hairs even after shaving. It’s so frustrating. My armpits can be freshly shaved, but you can literally see the hair below the skin. It grosses me out.
I ordered after your video and just received it. My power light is just flashing green... I think it's defective, but wanted to check if yours did that the first time you used it and you had to let it sit plugged in for a bit before it works?
do you think this would be helpful for someone with brown skin and dark thick hair? Earlier, I would get a yearly pass at European Wax Center but with gratuity and everything, it really ended up costing a lot. So, I switched completely to at home waxing. I use a wax warmer and those beads. Have been waxing my underarms and brazilian. But like you mentioned, I dont like the fact that I have to wait till my hair grows back a certain length to wax again. I am considering getting this Kenzi, I have seen other RU-vidrs post about it, but after you speaking about it so confidently, I am really considering getting it, Can I wax and use this Kenzi? Or I have to only shave and use it? I despise shaving as the hair comes back coarse, and I have ingrown and painful razor burns.
PinkGiraffe Hey, no one replied to you so I thought I would jump in. Keep in mind that this info is just what I have read online, and I’m white, so lived experiences from other brown people would probably be more useful for you. As a general rule, unfortunately laser is less effective on darker skin tones, because the way that the hair is removed is using light that is absorbed by dark pigments. The light that is absorbed is converted to heat, and this heat is what damages the hair follicle and prevents the hair from growing. The reason that it is less effective on darker skin tones is because the light dissipates and is absorbed by your skin and hair, so the hair doesn’t heat up as much and therefore doesn’t damage the follicle as much. You cant wax and use the laser because there will be no hair in the hair follicle, so there is nothing for the laser to target. It’s not to say that laser won’t work for you - it may, but it could take a lot more sessions (and a lot more money). But waxing and laser together is definitely a no go ☹️
Thanks for sharing your experience!!! I'm considering an at home laser device, but some friends of mine say it's not going to do anything as it's an IPL. I'm already having almost a year at office IPL appointments, first it was good, less hair, the new was thin. But now during almost 3months of quarantine, EVERYTHING is back!!! For sure they are not so aggressive, but they are ALL BACK! I'm really sad for all this amount of money and time I have spent for what? Nothing!? And I don't want to spend again for it. I'm thinking that at home I won't spend such money and time and maybe, maybe by time they will get less and eventually gone... I hope.
Tbh that’s how I’m feeling about it too!! It took about a year and a half to see a significant amount of hair come back (and not as much as before), so I’d rather just have this device so I can keep up with it at home!

Hey Kayley, could you test out the Moroccanoil Color Depositing Masks? I have bleached hair (actually much like yours), but I'm nervous about trying out temporary colours. I fear them discolouring my hair forever.. maybe you could help a girl out? 😍 Love your videos!
i have wanting to try out laser hair removal for ages however my mom keeps advising me against it saying it will cause side effects and that we never will find out the long term effects until they happen so I want to ask whether there have been any extreme side effects you've experienced?
For me, my skin burns when I'm in the sun a lot faster that it used to. Yesterday I was waiting for someone for like an hour and the sun was hitting my legs, so I have my sandals and where my pants ended pretty badly marked. Other than that, I'm good.
Can you please do a video on how to position Dutch braids? Mine are always close to my ear and I'd like them to sit a bit higher but can't seem to get it right!
Hi Kayley! Do you recommend getting in office treatment first before doing this? I have done my underarms in an office but I also want to get my legs hairless. I'm thinking of just buying this one instead of paying for in office treatment.
I have an other IPL device, I like it but I have tattoos on one of my leg so I can’t do my legs with this. The electric epilator is good though but I would love to do the ipl in my legs so sad x) people should know that IPL and laser is bad for it
