Customer review: "This was my first IPL purchase, I was looking for a use-at-home product that was not too expensive, as I was sceptical about its success. So far I am very pleasantly surprised. I have used the device 3 or 4 times, waiting a week in between, and the difference in hair growth is already very noticeable. I have dark brown hair, especially on my lower legs and a light to very light skin tone. Daily shaving was getting me down as without it the hair growth was really obvious. Already I am going longer between shaving and my legs are a lot smoother... For the price compared to other brands, I would recommend this device."

Customer review: "I am SOOOOOO in love with this product. I have really dark hair and this product helped me so much with building my confidence up, showing my legs more or being able to walk around not feeling like they're going to grow back the next day. I've literally tried everything in the books that you can think of but this laser hair removal is probably the best product I have ever used. So ladies if you have dark hair like me and you've tried every possible solution then you have to try this, it has honestly changed my LIFE. It took me a while to get used to it but I've managed to figure it out and I can honestly say it's the BEST!"

Customer review: "I’m in love with BoSidin Permanent Hair Removal Laser! I used to go to the clinics to get the laser treatments for the bikini zone, but it did cost a lot of money and became a very long and exhausting process... Now I can simply do it at home! I believe it will speed up the process because you can do it once a week and that slows down the growth of the hair. The laser is very elegant, lightweight, and easy to use and adjust. It can be rotated to reach any spot on your body. The razor for shaving and goggles come in very handy in order to start using it immediately. Used it once so far and I am very excited!"

Customer review: "I had professional laser hair removal treatments years ago on my bikini and for the money, discomfort and lengthy time frame, was extremely unsatisfied with the minimal results. After seeing several beauty influencers I trust review and speak highly of this device, I decided to invest and give it a fair shot. With low expectations to start, I was actually shocked at how easy, pain free and successful this was. It’s been right over 4 weeks since I’ve started using consistently, a total of 6 times in 4 weeks on my legs. I am now able to go almost a full week without shaving and even after the 7th day, it is so minimal that I could go even longer. I’m almost positive given another 4 weeks, I won’t have to shave at all or maybe only once a month. The areas I’ve used are arms and legs. Given how well it’s worked, I’ll start my bikini next. As an added benefit, it has relieved my chronic ingrown hairs which I’ve suffered with for years. In the past, I’ve gotten folliculitis from shaving and struggled with KP on parts of my legs. This has literally transformed my legs with very little effort. And the claims are true, it is painless, which I didn’t believe until i tried it. Obviously, your success depends on the natural pigment of your skin and hair, but I think most people would have success with this. I rarely write reviews but often rely on them from others. I decided this really deserved it. It is worth the investment in my opinion and I have spent SO MUCH MORE in the past on alternatives that didn’t give me these results."
