As a busy mum and business owner, finding time for self-care can be tough, so I decided to try the Philips IPL Hair Remover at home. And after using it for a couple of months I’m hooked.

Pros

Convenience

Long-lasting results

Fairly pain-free.

Cons

Time investment upfront

Initial cost

Not for all skin tones/hair types

What is it?

The Philips IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Hair Remover is a handheld device designed to reduce hair growth over time. It uses gentle light pulses to target the hair root and prevent regrowth. You can use it on various areas, like your legs, underarms, and bikini line – all from the comfort of your own home.

Overall Thoughts?

“It’s been a great investment for me. I love that I don’t need to worry about shaving constantly, and it’s saved me so much time overall. However, it does require a bit of commitment, especially in the beginning.
I noticed a reduction in hair after just a few sessions and a real difference after about 4/5 treatments. As the hair grew back it came back in patches but each time i did it the patches and hairs reduced and after the 6th or 7th time i’d say i had barely any re-growth.”

Is it Worth The Money?

“If you’re looking for a long-term hair removal solution, I’d say it’s worth the investment. While the upfront cost is higher, it’s much more affordable than repeated salon treatments. Plus, the convenience of doing it at home is a win.”

Would I Recommend It?

“Yes, especially for busy mums who need a more convenient and lasting hair removal option. Just be prepared to invest the time initially, and make sure it’s suitable for your skin and hair type before buying.”
