Review on πŸ’ Gillette Venus Silk-expert 3 BD3001: Effective Permanent Hair Reduction IPL with Venus Razor - White/Purple by Heidi Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great hair removal if you are patient and consistent!

Okay folks, here is one of the most thoughtful reviews I've ever done. It was expensive, but no more expensive than having these procedures done in an institution. I've done armpits and bikinis professionally before, so I wanted this for my legs and arms (most expensive things to do!). First of all, you have to be CONSISTENT! It takes a lot of patience and persistence to see ANY results. I've used it once a week for 12 consecutive weeks. In the first 4 sessions I couldn't tell any difference. Don't be upset! It wasn't until after the 5th that I noticed my hair stopped growing. Using a professional laser, I have noticed that my hair is getting thinner and thinner with each session. That didn't happen at Braun Gillette. I noticed my hair just stopped growing. One thing I would recommend is a really good exfoliation between sessions. I did not succeed. After getting a professional laser, I knew those black hair patches would appear (dead hairs) and eventually just fall out. However, at Braun, since it's weekly, I've never given my hair time to fall out. (If you look at the picture you can see that some hairs are still attached and this only happens on the thick sections of hair. It didn't happen on my arms). I'll introduce them when I get a chance, but there are too many to do them all. I have very thick hairy legs and THIS photo is after 12 sessions and about 2.5 weeks without shaving. The knees are very difficult to do, so you just have to find the right angle to do them. I'm still growing hair on my knees so I'm in my 14th tech session. PAIN: If you have a high pain tolerance, it's nothing, to be honest. It doesn't hurt at all. It only becomes sensitive when I get into the bikini zone. And there is a saving mode for that. Although I don't use it. I just hold my breath and do it. It's actually not that bad. That's why I gave 4 stars because it's great but obviously not super effective in ALL areas. I have unruly hair so I'm trying my best to achieve everything but I still have time because I'm getting this flawlessly beautiful look!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • poorly thought out
