To book more laser sessions or get an IPL machine?

I’ve probably had around 12 sessions on my arms, 10 sessions brazillian and underarms and 6 sessions on my legs.

My laser place has got a really good offer on for Black Friday but I’m not sure whether to get more sessions or to just buy an ipl machine (Braun/lumea?)

context: sessions since 2019, light skin dark hair, growth is back as normal bikini area and legs. Would probably get 3 more sessions everywhere for £200 or get an ipl machine £300/400?

Should I get more laser sessions or get an ipl machine? And which ipl machine would you recommend?

thanks!

Hi, OP. We can see you didn't have any luck posting your thread in AIBU so we've moved it to Style & Beauty for you - they're a font of knowledge on all things hair removal, here!

I had laser which worked well on legs and underarms but not on face or forearms. Philips lumea was amazing and worked for the other areas as well as a top up for the legs and underarms.

After having the kids, I had some regrowth on face and underarms which again the Lumea sorted. I love mine.

You are welcome to buy my IPL machine, it’s the Philips Lumea. I bought it without doing my research and it doesn’t work for my skin tone, it’s at in a drawer since!

I have that new braun, I was hairless for 6 months after using regularly and now it's grown back. Idk, it mostly.grows back regardless. I prefer doing it at home as I'm busy and I can fit it in to my time. But once summer ended i got lazy 😂
