IVISKIN seems to be around the same specs as the Ulike, and it also has cooling protection so that seems good,
both me and her think it seems to be a good device

Wavelengths: 640 nm–1100 nm.
Plug: 100–240V

Comforth also seems good, no cooling protection but it the specs are almost the same as the IVISKIN and ULIKE

Energy level: 1,5-3,9 J/cm^3
Wavelength: 470-1100 nm
Adapter: 100-240V AC Input
12V3A/2,5 A Dc Output

She said that if all of them are the same specifications wise, she'd calculate shipping and prices and see what's the cheapest, then see how many reviews she can find of them all, and if the ones with the cooling is cheaper as she is sensitive to burn pain

regarding colours for skin n hair
this is a table showing more or less whats good and what isn't
xI'm medium white I'd say, but a bit lighter and more yellowish, and my hair is black,
my friend is pale and her hair is lighter than brown, not by much though

yea then ur ideal for laser
how much did u end up paying for ur treatments and how many sessions did it take
im uncomfortable with having another person laser me and having to go there cus im lazy

yeah ahaha hence why I said fuck it and went for actual laser treatment

hmmmm I had 10 sessions paid for and 1 additional for free?
it was 4 areas only though, armpits, full legs, full arms and pubic area, I didn't finish all the treatments but even without all of them, it worked wonders for me, I used to be hairier but now it is much much less, I used to think the same but I found a fellow Russian lady that helped me with any uncomfortable moments I had or questions, and I had a total of 7 treatments

it cost me like around 1k eur for all those areas but it was a promotion cost for a holiday and you bet your ass that once I get a job again or my husband settles down with his job I am getting a package like that again, and maybe in the future will buy an IPL for myself for any veins I have on legs mainly and any stray hairs that laser might miss

that sounds like a sensory nightmare to me and 1k is alot

but russians in beautycare r the best, manicures, spas, etc!! u got lucky
i could not imagine getting naked for a treatment, its usually way worse than u imagine it to be and i get that but i would probably go for laser treatment in person if IPL doesnt work, u are brave and im glad it ended up working for you
also ipl works on veins?? i did not know that

and the fact that ur friend is gonna be ur flowergirl

so cute goddammit, when is ur wedding

oh it was for me as well but I hated being hairy more somehow lmao
agreed, I trust russian beautycare ladies the must, then again I must be biased lmao

Honestly for me it was like the opposite, she was super professional and it was a breeze by the 2nd time
and thank you! I did feel like I overcame a big fear of mine with that

Yep! IPL works on on vericose, birthmarks, sun spots and discoloration, it is much better I think? for the face seeing as it is gentler than laser so we love to see it

yeah ahaha she asked me that like.... 5 years ago and now that I am planning an actual wedding
we don't know yet! we actually got married 5 days ago in a small and intimate civil wedding, but the bigger plan is much later down the line, 2 years at LEAST from now

just want to say that no, I've never done the at-home ones
BUT at my appointments, they used IPL all the same and it was a banger for me since I had TONS of really dark thick hair and now I have very few thin ones here and there, barely noticeable

Thank you! I also wish and hope life with him would be as good as it is now
nope! it will be a small wedding, even though I would have 150 people to invite from my side, we've decided it'll be smaller and more intimate, considering the location we want and everything else
ahaha yeah, I realized that she's the person I kept in touch the longest, I've known her for 11 years now, and I am glad I have someone like that in my life

I just hope it won't take too long to plan and that I'll be able to lose some weight before it, not a lot so it will be manageable

doing appointments and as a hairy gal im seeing great results!!!
you will not end up with *no* hair but just really really thin hair that isn't visible
key tho is that you have to be consistent! can't speak on the ones you do at home
