When I first bought this product from Amazon.com I was
skeptical, and there weren’t that many useful reviews that I could have relied
upon. Although I have a light skin complexion, I was still worried about the
side effect and skin burn that this device might have caused. Of course the
manufacturer states that this device has been fully tested and recommended by
the dermatologists and surgeons, but I read the instructions carefully a few
times before actually using the product.
I started with slow settings, and progressed quickly. After using the
device for the first 4-8 weeks, I did not see any results, and I noticed some hairs
grew back (2nd-3rd treatment). I thought I had put $283.00 down the drain. Frustrated
I kept trying and trying, and for me it wasn’t until the 10th week
that I noticed less and less hair is growing back. In fact, the newly grown
hairs were fragile and thin and spotty throughout my legs. After a long term
treatment, I must say this gadget did
its magic on certain parts of the body, and I am happy.
I wish I had known about it sooner. With the proper usage,
over time the treatment with this
device will damage the follicle to the point that it slows re-growth. However
your body will try to repair the follicle and cause the hair re-growth, and
therefore treatment on a regular basis might be required to achieve the desired results.
I believe this
device works best on upper lips and chin area, or areas of the body where you
have finer and less dense hair. Of course the experience will vary for each
individual, but I noticed that using this device is less effective in
removing fully the armpit hair (at least for me). But if you brace yourself for
a long term treatment, you will be able
to achieve the desired results.
Below are a few points that I highly recommendation on how to apply this device, and
hopefully this will result in a better and faster treatment for you.
- Always Start with a clean shaving of the skin and wait for a few hours before starting your treatment.
- Test this device on one section of your body. The device is equipped with a sensor to detect your skin reaction. After the preliminary test, determine if you have any allergic reaction or adverse effects. My understanding is using this device on dark skin complexion might result in blisters and burns. Therefore, I highly recommend reading more about this product on the manufacturer's website http://www.silkn.com to ensure it works for your skin type. If your test result yields success continue to next step.
- Progress quickly to high setting levels. Please ensure you read the instruction manual fully and carefully in order to configure the device to proper and recommended settings.
- Create a regular treatment schedule for yourself(possibly two week intervals).
- It is true, patience is a virtue. Be persistent and patient and I believe you will see results in the long term after proper usage. If you don’t see immediate results, don’t get discouraged.
- If you have questions or issues contact their customer support. This information can be obtained from their website http://www.silkn.com/
In conclusion, I believe the Silk’n Flash and Go works if
used properly. But don’t expect miracles, and you might not see results
immediately or in the first few weeks. The results and experience will definitely
vary for each individual, but if you read the instructions carefully and apply
the product based on the manufacturer's recommendation, you will see the results
in two months and more. One thing to mention is there are different types of
Flash and Go products.
Flash&Go and Flash&Go Luxx
Flash&Go – This product is equipped with 5,000 initial
pulses and it requires refill cartridges.
Flash&Go Luxx – This is offered as a lifetime package with 120,000 pulses, where with no refill is required. But it is more expensive. I recommend the Flash&Go Luxx, and in the long term this would be cheaper.
Final Thought:
After a year, I still use this product and I have seen good results. My legs are almost hair free. Still working on my armpits. This is cheaper and better than any laser treatment that I had done before. But in order to ensure this device is right for your skin, you must consult the manufacturer before purchasing this gadget. Also, it is best that you compare a few products, before purchasing one. Please see the review of Remington i-LIGHT products
