4 laser hair removal

Hey everyone,

I'm 26, male and bought Silk'n a few months ago, just curious to see if anyone else uses it? I got into laser hair removal awhile ago, I have hair on my tummy and wanted to get it removed. My good friend works at an expensive clinic and got me a deal at $100 a session vs $300 so I've done 3 (and only paid $100, they did the other 2 for free as I was able to help them out with my other business). So far the results are amazing, you can completely tell where she did the treatment and stopped, as the whole area is smooth, and then hair grows back in the sections she didn't treat.

Getting off track but because it worked so well I bought a Silk'n new from someone online for $500cad which was a good deal. I'm not a very hairy person, smooth chest and so on, just the normal places. So I've been mostly using it in my private areas, under my arms, and on my hands. I've had it about 2-3 months or so so i've done a bunch of treatments, but not sure I'm really seeing much results. I stopped doing it a month ago everywhere except my under arms, as I'm going to use that as a test. However, everywhere says do it for 4 sessions or so and then only when the hair grows back, and that after a week or so hair will start to fall out. I don't get this at all, when I do it in the clinic hair definitely falls out, but on my underarms, it just grows back and even pulling the hairs doesn't cause them to fall out. Not sure if for men it takes longer or what, but just curious others results.

On the flip side, on my hands and private areas it does semi seem to be working but again it's hard to compare it to. I never shaved or nair'd those areas before getting silk'n so I have no idea how long it takes to grow back, but I do know that when I do it now, the hair is very slow to come back, like I can go a month or so before I need to re shave or nair. So maybe underarms just aren't a good area to go by, not sure, just curious others results!

Silk'n is not powerful enough to yield permanent lasting results. For a short term fix, it might be Ok. I would rather spend my time and money on lasting and permanent results.

Which silk'n do you have? the older generation or the new sensepil?
