I want to talk you thought my quest to become a hair-free woman. I live super rurally and I have thought about travelling to get salon IPL but it would be super time consuming and if I am honest this is where my research in to at home IPL started. But just so you know the nearest salon to me that does the IPL I wanted to get would be a 5-hour drive just to get there.
What the brand says
Created to give you the same results as you’d get in a professional spa, and clinically-proven for at-home use, the Reactive Pulse Light (RPL™) technology inside every Sensilight PRO has been designed with both effectiveness and safety in mind. Thanks to a unique energy recommendation button, the device identifies the most suitable energy level for your specific skin, while built-in sensors ensure that the device only works on suitable skin tone, so you can carry out every treatment with complete confidence.
For ultimate accuracy, the device offers two treatment options. The 4.5cm2 window is suitable for use on large areas of the body, such as legs and arms. For small areas, like the upper lip, chin and jawline, a 2cm2 wide precision tip attachment with integrated UV filter has been especially designed to deliver gentle and precise treatment.
What's in the box?
You get the Sensilight PRO Its self of course. It comes with two guide books. One is a quick start guide and then the full instructions. You get the charging cable and stowaway bag and the little adapter to make the treatment area smaller. How cute is the little bag? This is such a handy little extra.
Product features:
- Skin tone detection button – Identifies the best energy settings for your skin tone
- Cordless – Enjoy the freedom of movement
- 600 flashes between charges – So you can keep going for longer
- Automatic gliding mode – Treat larger areas without holding down the trigger
- Large treatment window (4.5cm2) – The largest available today, for faster treatments on larger areas
- Small treatment window (2cm2) – Especially designed for small areas like the upper lip, chin, and jawline
- 6 adjustable energy settings – Ensures gentle and effective treatment on every skin tone
When it comes to hair removal, the only way to get truly long-lasting results is to disable hair regrowth from the source. Based on the kind of IPL technology commonly used in clinics today, Sensilight PRO emits a flash of light with each press of the trigger button, targeting the melanin in the hair shaft. The heat of the absorbed light then dissipates into the follicle, generating a thermal effect which causes a long-term reduction in hair growth.
- High performance lamp – An integrated quartz lamp delivers unlimited flashes, covered by a lifetime warranty.
I popped The Sensilight PRO on to charge overnight. It only takes about 2 and a half hours to charge to full. I read the instructions. Like everyone should. You have to shave the treatment area before you apply the Sensilight PRO. You must also have dry skin free from any products. So no moisturiser or deodorant. Clean and dry skin is a must. You must do a patch test and wait 48 hours to make sure you have no reaction. I did this and waited and I was good to go. Please always do a patch test.
Full disclaimer I watched a couple of YouTubes about other devices and I was very scared about how this was going to feel and the pain.
On the back of the device there is a light strip this tells you when the device is ready to use. Green means you are good to go. There is a full guide to the different colours in your guide books.
I use the device on the skin detection setting. At this stage, as I said above I was really nervous as I had watched other devices reviews on youtube and was bracing for impact. You place the Sensilight PRO on your skin and press the trigger. The light flashes and a slight tick noise and you are done. This was a bit of an anti-climax as It was not painful at all. You then move the device to the next part of your body. In my case, I first tried my legs. Making sure I did not overlap the area. There was no pain on my legs at all. Nothing. The light is very bright but It is safe to use without any eye protection. It took me about 30 minutes I think to do my legs. I went on to do my underarms and bikini. There was a very slight not pain, not even discomfort but feeling we will go with on the more sensitive bikini areas. But by no way was it painful.
Results
So what I have seen so far with Sensilight PRO. It has been nearly a week since my first treatment. Now my leg hair has started to grow back but slower than normal. I can only think this is a good sign. Of course, this is a course of treatments. You have to redo the treatment every 2 weeks for up to 12 sessions. But according to the guide, I should start to see results after 4 sessions. But I am sure my hair has started to grow slower. I look forward to updating you all on how my journey is getting one and watch out for my youtube videos on the Sensilight PRO too.
This sounds good and my daughter would love it
ReplyDeleteOoh this sounds interesting! My hairs are really fine so it's not something I ever worry about but I hate shaving so not having to do it often sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI had a series of IPL treatments several years ago. I was very dissatisfied with the results, which were patchy, mainly because I have light coloured hair. But maybe the newer devices are more effective.
ReplyDeleteI have a terrible confession to make I don't shave my legs or even under my arms these days maybe I would have done if I had read your blog earlier

ReplyDeleteI really want to give this a go as I currently shave! The hair grows back within hours I am sure of it haha
