I really took my time to write this review as I wanted to make sure that we utilized the product properly as it was intended.
The first thing you have to do is make sure that you are of the proper skin tone. It has a small sensor that will detect what skin tone you have so that it can properly administer the correct strength of laser. Then you are to shave the area you are going to treat. You then place the head on the area and it gives off a small dose of laser. It feels kind of funny, almost like a quick rubber band snap. Not painful, just like a split second of sensation.
After about 4 weeks of use, we could notice that the hair was growing back thinner than before. It recommends that you use for about 8 weeks for meaningful impact.. You can see that it definitely does work, and I imagine it will only get better with continued use.
About 3 people in my house have tested this product, all with different skin tones and it left all with visibly thinner hair. There is no reason to believe that it will not continue to thin the hair until almost unnoticeable.

First off -- this product is for the long game. You won't see any results for quite a while, so I'll comment on this review over time to keep you updated. The instructions are very thorough, so take the time to read them! You'll learn usage, safety, and the science behind how it works.
My wife has been enthusiastic about hair removal for years and has tried just about everything. This is a laser hair removal device for home use. That means you can have the treatment without having to go to a specialist, so it is much easier and much more reasonable to stay on schedule to experience results.
The machine is very well designed and constructed, and the instructions are very good, but it does require some amount of practice to get used to timing, placement, etc. Also -- for best results you really need a buddy to help you. My wife did my back, and I did her legs, and it's just way easier to have someone use the device on you rather than trying to contort yourself to reach awkward places.
For me, the sensation reminds me of pressing a camera flash against your skin. It is a brief burst of heat that stings a tiny bit, but then it goes away immediately. My wife says she only feels momentary warmth. Also there's a slight smell of burning hair.
That's my experience so far -- I recommend this as far as the instructions, convenience, quality, and usability are concerned. I'll try to provide more feedback as we see the results over time!

It works for my hair

This is not a professional power device and depending on your exact hair and its color, it may or may not provide pro like results.
It is very well made and barring any accidental drops it should last a very long time and help eliminate or reduce shaving or waxing needs.
I am happy with the device for my neck hairs and fine hair on the top of my ears. I have fine greying brown hair and fair skin.
My wife is Italian with courser dark hair and olive skin and her results were not as good as mine and she does not care to continue its use.
However I plan on having her use it on me as it easier for her to see the green light and assure proper alignment and skin contact as required for optimal hair removal and keeping it from growing back in quickly.
Its not painful at all to use but it does kinda tingle a little but I quickly learned to ignore that.
One drawback is its not a cordless device, so use near an electrical outlet is a must.

I've had this item for 5 months now and I can see a difference. I have really thick dark hair, so I was excited to get this item. It has done a great job with slowing down my hair growth. I don't need to shave as often, so I believe it's working. I used to have to shave every other day, to now only twice a week. I can't wait until I don't have to shave at all!
I did not give it 5 stars because of the difficulty I have using it on certain parts of my legs. I have skinny legs, and the head has to be completely down for the light to activate. I struggle with my ankle, shin and knee areas. I have to sit in an uncomfortable position and push down hard on the tip to get it to work. Works great the back and sides of my legs, my thighs, bikini and underarms.

It seems to be a good product and my wife has definitely started to see a difference. You have to play with the power settings a bit and be diligent with the schedule, but the difference is noticeable. Following the instructions with this is very important to make sure you get the most out of it and don't hurt yourself. The power settings are skin dependent and it isn't recommended for darker skin tones at all because they absorb too much of too much of the light. It felt very daunting to start using and the risk of misusing is definitely there, but overall I think it's worth the effort if you really commit to it. It's a process that can't be rushed.

Atleast it saved us from a headache

So, we got this unit for my significant other and read the manual. And the manual specifically calls out that it should be tested on a small patch of your skin first, and wait for a day to check that there are no skin reactions.
We tried twice and each time there was a redness around the area the next day. It lasted for a day or so and caused slight irritation. Nothing too significant, and thankfully we followed the instructions to try on a small area first.
We are thankful, that the manufacturer added the test instruction to the manual , and prevented us a bigger headache. That's what the 3 stars are for, since we can't truly review how this performs.

This is the first time my wife or I have tried hair removal minus the traditional way. To start off the unit feels like it is well built and of good quality. The device plugs in and you must first start off by setting it to your skin tone. Set it on your skin and press the side button to get the correct settings. Neither one of us wanted to test it on our faces but tried many places on our bodies. The zap didn't bother me at all and had a minimal quick shot of heat which also didn't bother me. My wife said it hardly bothered her but "wasn't fun". We both did the trial time and 3 sessions. She has extremely light hair and it seemed to soften up, mine is coarse and dark and I didn't notice any change. We will continue our sessions to see if things start working better. I wouldn't say it doesn't work and can't yet say its gonna be great. Overall it doesn't seem to be some as seen on tv gimmick so I would recommend giving it a shot at this point.

Could not get it to do anything other than turn on. Pulling the trigger did absolutely nothing, no flash, no light. Waste of time and money, returning tomorrow.
