Last, let’s talk about hair removal devices. There are a couple different types, but among the most popular use IPL (aka Intense Pulsed Light) to slowly eliminate regrowth. This is not the same technology as laser hair removal, so right off the bat, don’t expect similar results. Many professionals I’ve spoken to don’t love these since they are a) expensive, and b) don’t always work — and those concerns are very valid. However, I have seen success with these devices, with one very important caveat: If you want to see any kind of significant result, you need to use these like clockwork, and follow instructions to a T. (That usually means no waxing, threading, tweezing, or any other hair removal method that removes the bulb, and therefore interrupts the follicle’s hair growth cycle.) The RoseSkinCo. Lumi is very similar to a discontinued device that I used on my formerly gorilla-like arm hairs, and I’ve been testing out Foreo’s new Peach 2, which has been great for larger areas like legs. (My main gripe for legs is that it’s a lot of skin to shave or wax, so the fact that the Peach 2 has a decent amount of surface area is a game-changer.)
