Employing the same pulsed light technology used by professional aestheticians, this home hair remover reduces unwanted hair in less than half the time required by smaller devices. The handheld remover's applicator surface is six times larger than those on other models, so it can cover both legs in only 30 minutes compared to two hours. Safe, quick and convenient, the remover emits a pulsed light that is absorbed by hair follicles, destroying actively growing hairs below the skin so they fall out naturally within two weeks. The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology found that most users enjoyed a 78% reduction in unwanted hair one month after their last treatment. Designed for users with pale skin and dark hair, a built-in sensor assesses complexion and will not treat skin that is out of range. The remover is gentle enough for use on the face, bikini line, and underarms. Plugs into AC. 8 1/2" L x 8 1/2" W x 5 1/2" D. (4 lbs.)
