Tips for using IPL machine

[woodhill]

I found it quite confusing. I shaved last night to try it on my left leg but how are you meant to see where you are going with it and the goggles make it harder. I can't see well without my glasses and I can now feel a weird sensation on my leg. Bit worried.

I have to say I had a bad experience with one and it left me very ill with some very nasty side effects that I am still dealing with. I don't mean to scare you but if you have any doubts whatsoever please stop and wait before considering if you want to go ahead again. If you want more inforamtion about people who have had bad side effects for IPL google it you will find a lot.

That said a lot of people are fine, so hope you will be too.

Thanks

Anyone else?

Do you think I can ask for my money back?

I'm sure I can still feel a slight sensation on my leg but lower down

I got my money back on mine.

Yes that might be an option

Everyone raves about them on here. I bought it at John Lewis

What IPL do you have that needs goggles?

Some people draw white guide lines on their legs - so I have read. I just move it in a logical fashion and remember where I have been and where I am going. I haven't ever had a problem or had to think much about it, really. I would say, if you are going to do legs with your IPL then buy one with the biggest possible window, not a mini version.

flaofno what illness did yours cause?

Babybliss, it came with safety goggles. I thought they all needed them. White line good idea
