Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to offer me some advice RE IPL home devices. I am a fair skinned, blonde girl with REALLY dark underarms. I've always had lots of dark coarse hair which just won't budge. Hair removal cream literally scraps off without a hair budging. I shave and wax occasionally but hate waiting in between waxes because I have man like underarms. When I shave i am left with dark pigments and it doesn't look very nice (or feminine). This has affected my confidence since I was in my teens (I am now 23). Anyway... I purchased a groupon offer for ipl (6 sessions) which I finished 2 months or so ago. To begin with the treatment had a noticeable difference, the hair went very blonde and patchy but then it stopped working. I told the lady that the hairs were coming back dark again and she said this was good because it works on dark hair better. The regrowth was slower than normal so I just went with it. Anyway I had my last session and now it's reverted back to normal. The hair is dark, thick and growing back the day after I shave it. I'm really upset because I feel I have reverted back to square one.
I am thinking of investing in an at home system because I can use it whenever I need to and don't have to worry about expensive salon treatments not working after 6 sessions. But I have very little knowledge of these machines and whether they work.
If anyone has any advice they can offer me I would appreciate it. Thanks!!
