Braun Silk-Expert Pro 5

Kyle, tester:Before testing the laser, my hair grew very thick and very quickly.

I did see a big reduction in thickness and speed of growth.

I started to notice the difference around the third to fourth week mark of testing the unit.

nood The Flasher 2.0

The Braun Silk-Expert Pro 5 is fast, effective, and sleekly designed.

The results are deliciously smooth skin sans hair.

Chances are youve seen this affordable, buzzy unit pop up all over socialand with good reason.

The extra wide window also makes treating this area easy.

The FDA has approved this unit, and the brand guarantees permanent results within eight weeks.

Samantha, tester:I felt a burn every once in a while but it was very minimal.

Silk’n Infinity Hair Removal Device

The brand patented the combination of IPL and radiofrequency used in this.

Scientists behind in-clinic machines initially developed the technology, so you know youre in good hands.

Shannon, tester:I expected this to be somewhat painful and it was not at all.

SmoothSkin Pure Mini Intelligent Ultrafast IPL Permanent Hair Reduction

I could sometimes feel a bit of heat and redness, but it never lasted beyond the treatment ending.

Even on the highest setting, we only experienced heat and a slight zap, nothing too painful.

But its also extremely easy to use (once you get the hang of it).

Ruby, tester:This was almost too easy to set up.
