Throw out your razor and forget about tweezing, plucking and waxing to get rid of your unwanted hair. Silk’n SensEpil™ is an FDA cleared home-use device for obtaining excellent hair removal results. Silk’n SensEpil™ uses highly sophisticated Home Pulsed Light™ (HPL) technology to safely and effectively provide you with proven long-term hair removal results. The device and replacement cartridges will provide a lifetime of hair reduction results at a fraction of the cost of a physician’s office visits.
The machine includes a disposable lamp cartridge, holding 750 pulses. A cartridge typically covers 2 legs, arms, underarms and bikini line. Pulse intensity is determined only according to the energy level setting of the device. There is no decrease of energy during the usable lifetime of the lamp cartridge. For convenience and ease of use, the unit will notify you, using the lighted control panel, when the cartridge has reached 90% usage.
Top dermatologists and plastic surgeons who tested Silk’n SensEpil™ concluded it could be used safely, easily and effectively in a typical home environment. The Home Pulsed Light™ (HPL) technology in the device has been designed to capture all the clinical benefits of pulsed light for hair removal at home. Clinical studies showed dramatic hair reduction often more than 70% calculated at only 3 months post the last treatment.
Silk’n SensEpil™ is ideal for use with lighter skin tones and brown to black hair. This product is not suitable for Afro‑caribbean or black skin complexions. Self treatments can be done on legs, arms, bikini line and other areas of the body where hair removal is desired.
A unique skin color sensor is built into the Silk'n SensEpil to measure the treated skin complexion at the beginning of each session and occasionally during the session. The skin color sensor ensures that pulses will only be emitted on suitable skin tones.
As with professional laser treatments, a series of treatments are required to clear an area of unwanted hair.

| I have it, like it so far. It's perfectly safe and easy to use. Can't report on hair growth and such since I am only on my 3rd try, er 4th this weekend. I am seeing some areas on arms, legs, and underarms where no hair has grown back. All in all, I'm really glad I splurged on this. |

Thanks for your reply and feedback! Hey, does the price they offer on costco.com seem good? $420 I think? It comes with an extra lamp.
I also wonder if you have to shave your legs before the treatment like with the laser treatment?
I did the laser thing once but haven't been back to it cuz it's expensive. If this thing works to get rid of my leg hair, I should go for it. Dreaming about smooth legs!  |
