Has anyone used similar but cheaper brands? Is there any difference?

Like this one for eg?

I haven't but I'd also be interested if anyone has any advice/experience.

I bought the black and gold smooth skin a couple of years ago from boots, it was 100 odd quid in the sale and it's worked great.

How does it work and do you have to use it often? I'm sick of shaving rash and ingrown hair from hair removal cream or waxing

You do it on shaved skin, either the day you shave or day after is fine. I can't remember exactly, I think I was doing it once a week for a few months, now I'm pretty hairless. You basically run it oven your skin as it flashes, it's easy enough but time consuming and boring, and it's a bit painful around bikini area. It was definitely worth it for me, but I have very pale skin and dark hair, I think that makes me more likely to have good results.

Good to know thanks 👍

Hopeful bump for u as I am really keen to hear about other devices, love the idea of the lumea but it is so expensive, can't justify it!

I have this one and would recommend https://www.currentbody.com/products/smoothskin-bare-ultrafast-ipl-hair-removal-device-excluisve-collection There are always extra discounts kicking around too if you look, I think I paid about £130 for it? I only use it for body though, not face.
