Silk'n Flash&Go Replacement Cartridge - At Home Permanent Hair Removal Device For Women And Men - 1,000 Pulses

PLEASES READ MY REVIEW!!! I read all the reviews when I researched to buy this. There were some for and some In between and some against. I was so unsure about buying this. Didn't want to just blow money on another gimmick to get rid of razors forever. So here is my story. I have dark course hair on my legs, a few course hairs on lip and neck, arms are thick and embarrassing, course armpit hairs. I'm the totally hairy woman. Its So embarrassing. I was a plucker, shaver, and used every gimmick under the sun to get rid or thin out the hair. Hated it all. It got to the point that I just would just let it go a bit because after I shaved it didn't take long to feel the stubble, so why bother to strive for smooth... :). Anyways, I looked into laser hair removal for my legs and it was quite expensive and if it didn't work all the way you had to pay for more sessions. Too expensive for me for legs. I had previously did laser hair removal on neck and lip on two separate occasions. (I did all treatments) but to my dismay it grew back and every treatment my neck would breakout in big hive like bumps. Frustration was the key word. I saw this and researched. Read. Researched some more. Ok I figure so if it doesn't work then I can sell it and at least retrieve some money back because maybe if it didn't work for me it may work for someone else. So my husband just said buy it. So I did. I went on Vacation in Dec and got some sun so I waited and started treatments Jan 9th. So I shaved and began to do my first treatments. I did my lip and neck, underarms, lower arms, and lower legs. After first treatment, my hair grew back and I didn't see much result at all. Thought about sending it back, but said I will try one more session to see if it helps at all. I did second treatment two weeks later. I waited a few days and saw small patches of thinned spots. So I decided ok maybe it really is working. 2 wks later did third treatment and waited... Results are really starting to show, especially on my arms, lip, neck, and pit areas. (Legs still a work in progress but remember I said that my legs were course like a mans beard. Lol). I did 4th treatment two weeks ago. My arms are 80% hair free after just letting it grow.... I almost cry when I see it. IF THIS WAS MY RESULT I would say this product was absolutely worth it but I still have quite a few more treatments left so I am so excited to see it all gone. My lower legs have spots that are hairfree but the rest has thinned out immensely. I would say I'm 40% done with my legs. ... My pits are about 60%. My lip and neck (wasnt bad to begin with) but is about 75%. Ok ladies and gentlemen I am getting totally geeked that the end of shaving for me is in sight!!!! This product is NOT for you if you think it's going to work in one or two treatments. There is no miracle hair removal that you can be flee dipped in to give you permanent baldness because if there were I would of found it and soaked in it!!! The key to good results with this is patience. If you don't have patience then continue shaving. My attitude when I got this was that it wasnt going to work so when I realized it was working slowly but surely I was tickled to death. I saw people that used it twice or so and complained it didn't work and sent it back.... Well patience is a virtue and this takes time for the machine to do its job!!!! I still have a ways to go so I will update periodically. I am getting confident that this WILL work / continue to work. The only thing I don't like is the cost of the cartridges. It's $40 to do each of my treatments (lower legs, lower arms, neck, lip, pits are my treatment areas). So it's $80 month. Give or take a few bucks. I have time left over after my treatments but not more that 1/4 of my next treatment. Is it worth it? For me, HECK YES... Even if this was all the result I got what I have now, I still would be tickled because shaving takes literally half the time.... You also don't need safety glasses. I bought some and never have used. The company said its safe to not wear any. So in closing, if you have no patience then don't buy. It takes time to do its job!!! If you buy just go into this with the attitude that it will at least thin your hair out and make it easier to shave, but I believe this WILL work just by the results I have already seen!!! So it's already passed my expectations by a mile!!! Just remember PATIENCE IS A VIRTURE!!!!! I LOVE it so far!!! Will keep you posted!!!!!

I've tried it all for removing unwanted hair: shaving, waxing, threading, depilatory creams, electrolysis, even laser treatments. None of them have given me the results I wanted, especially on the wiry chin thicket. Electrolysis was painful and time consuming, laser treatments were too harsh and left me with indurated skin to the point that I looked like I had mumps...and even after multiple expensive treatments I still had a forest on my face. Since I'm female, the coarse and prolific hair is NOT welcome. I don't want to even think about the money I've spent over the years battling the fuzz. Enter the Silk'n Flash and Go. Best money I've ever spent because it works! The fine hair went first, then the medium textured hair. The coarse wiry stuff is taking longer, but I can actually see a light at the end of the tunnel!Speaking of light, this lamp isn't kidding about high intensity. I close my eyes and put a hand over them and can still see the bright flash, though those precautions keep my eyes safe from damage. The cartridge is easy to change and I got great life out of it. I've used mine for four and a half months and only just now needed to replace it. The amount of area you are treating will of course have an impact on your lamp life, but I've been treating the entire beard area from the crease of the neck to halfway up my cheeks and doing legs from knees down. I treat once a week--I'm sure if I had gone with the suggested schedule that would have further increased lamp life but I would rather make more progress on project Bearded Lady No More in a shorter time and buy an extra lamp or two along the way. The price of these does fluctuate somewhat, so put it in your cart and buy when you see a price decrease. I try and always have a spare on hand so when one lamp has reached it's rated flash life I can pop in a new cartridge with no delay in my schedule.Update, February 2014: I have now been using this for over a year, on average twice a month. My problem area is the beard and moustache area, an area populated by coarse black hair thanks to the hormonal havoc wrought by PCOS. With regular use I am) only on my second cartridge and have seen about a 90% reduction. The remaining problem hairs are somewhat less coarse than they used to be and I am seeing a distinct pattern of decreasing hair density. I am hoping for total elimination in this area within another six months. After that I'll start working on my legs. I've just ordered a spare cartridge and remain pleased with the product as it is much less expensive and far less painful than the dermatologist.

I just love my Silk'n Flash&Go and was a little sad when I noticed that Shopper's no longer carried this product - but then I looked on line and found it. Super happy with the product, it was delivered promptly and safely. Love it. Thank you.

I have used this for about 60 times (only used it twice, on my arms and legs) on the lowest setting and I am already being told to replace the light cartridge.Keep in mind this is an exchanged product because the original light cartridge lasted for only one session (~30 light flashes) on the maximum setting.I have previously bought cartridges from Nordstrom and used them for months on the medium setting, but I am not understanding why the ones purchased from Amazon have no longevity. This is not ok.
