Gillette Venus Hair Removal System
I love it! The results really do occur but not right away. I love the feeling of not having to shave. Especially, for us women shaving is like a chore. I defiantly recommend to any buyer who is considering on buying this product.

After 5 weeks, I still have hair
I was over the moon to try the Venus Silk-expert and I've been diligent about using it. Once a week and only under my left arm so that I could compare it to my shaved right underarm. Early results were promising...my husband said he thought it looked like I had less hair on the treated side. That said, I can't really tell if it's working. I still see about the same amount of hair. I like how quick and easy it is to use the device. Literally 1 minute to plug in and stroke under my arm with the pulsed light. I feel a very subtle burning sensation, but nothing unbearable and I'm fine putting deodorant on immediately afterward. I haven't experienced any side effects. I will continue my experiment for at least another month and may try my legs too. I REALLY, REALLY hope to see the benefits. I would love to stop spending time and money on shaving. I would love not to worry that the nail tech is judging me next time I forget to shave before getting a pedicure! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Love it so far
    I just used this product for the first time yesterday, and so far I love it. It's very easy to use and very comfortable in my hand. It took me about 30 minutes to do my full body. The light is very bright, and I read in someone else's review that sunglasses help, so I tried that and it definitely does help. I can't wait to see the results! I almost bought this product on Amazon, same price, same free two day shipping (if you pay for Amazon Prime). But Amazon only offers a 30 return policy, while Walmart offers 90 day returns! That's amazing! There is no way to know if this products actually works for me within 30 days. So thanks Walmart! You're my new Go-To for online shopping.

    Great product
    It works great, just like some of the reviews I read. I am already seeing results. The hair is coming back slower and it's real fine. Some places no hair. It doesn't hurt at all and thos product is cheaper than what it cost to get treatments at a Dermatology office.

    This works!
    I'm not usually one to review items, but have had such a good experience with this one, I thought I should. I have very sensitive skin, and shaving always irritated my legs and left them red and bumpy. I'd need to shave again in 3-4 days and it was hardly worth it...not like I really wanted to show off red, bumpy legs, so I gave this a try. I've had it for about a month, and have used it once a week after shaving, as directed. My legs are staying smoother longer...about a week, and I'm getting less irritated from shaving, I think because the laser is slowly making the hair finer and less coarse, and thus, easier and less irritating to shave. Definitely worth the money!!

    Gillette Venus Silk Body Hair Removal System
    My Mother was having carpal tunnel surgery and asked for a safe product that would remove hair since she could not use a razor for a while. Gillette was a name I trusted for my own shaving needs and it is completely safe - simply follow the directions. Since the literature says it also reduces the rate at which hair grows back I think she may use it even after her hand heals. She reported no pain in using it just heat, when the light pulses - it looks like the flash of a camera. I hope all find this review helpful.

    Much less hair
    I have been using the Gillette Silk-expert for a little over a month now and have had great results. The hair on my legs has diminished greatly. I used to have thick, fast growing dark hair. It has now come in thinner and in most areas it is gone. There are just some small patches. It seems as though they are in areas that I must have missed. The areas are usually in a line and the same shape/size as the laser window. I haven't had to shave under my arms in 2 weeks (no, not because it's winter but because its gone!) I have been so impressed with the results this far! I am completely sold on it!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    4 weeks in and still loving it!
    After 4 weeks of using my Venus Silk-expert, I am so excited to say that I definitely see a noticeable difference in my hair growth! Here is a picture of the treated area (armpit) which can be compared to my previous pic. There is a little irritation but that's very normal for me and has to do with shaving only. There is much less irritation than before I began treatment which I can only attribute to less hair growth. The treated skin is noticeably smoother. There is no discoloration whatsoever, which is warned as a possibility. I still have experienced zero discomfort from using the Venus Silk-expert. I honestly cannot say enough great things about this product! I highly recommend to anyone considering costly hair removal to give this a chance first. I think you'll be very pleased with your decision! I can't wait to do another review at 12 weeks! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    It works!!!
    Ok guys, I will admit as someone who has PCOS, I was a little skeptical at first. I was an everyday shaver not because I wanted to but because I had to. I hate hair on my legs, arms and underarms. If I cant see them but feel them I have to shave. I have tried waxing, hair removal creams, and epilators (so painful). The IPL was so easy to use. After shaving and drying your skin well I plugged the IPL in and placed onto my skin and pressed a button. After 4 weeks of use I noticed changes in the hair texture and I didn't have noticeable hair growth by midday as usual. I completed my 6th treatment yesterday and can honestly say only certain areas on my legs required treatment. I only shave my legs twice a week!!! My underarms continue to require full treatments however I am noticing a difference with the texture and the growth time is decreasing. I continue to shave my underarms daily. I am really happy with the results! Well worth the cost! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Wait for it... No, really.
    I paid over $400 for this IPL for my wife. My review was NOT collected as part of any promotion. The fact that I'm $400 lighter in the wallet makes me wish I were part of the free "test group," but having paid full price also would seem to make my opinion more trustworthy... at least in most folks minds. At any rate, I figured I'd review this IPL because I decided to "try" it out on myself first, because of the many reports of the "rubber-band like popping sensation" many are reporting ILP's create. I simply didn't want to hand my wife a present and say, "Happy Birthday Honey! Sorry for all the pain you are about to inflict on yourself!" I'm not into the whole "pain-feels-good" thing, and neither is she! Next, let me say that if you don't have time to read a lot of IPL reviews, you don't have time for this product. This is NOT an instant "WOW! I'm hairless!!!" situation. It takes time and a whole heck of a lot of patience... BUT it does seem to be working, at least for the most part. Please allow me to explain... So, first you shave (some recommend shaving a day or two before you use it so you can see a little stubble) and then you dry the wherever part of your body you want to treat. Then you simply get away from any water (a well-lit bedroom is ideal) and plug in the power supply to a typical outlet (it looks like a laptop power supply). Next, you simply plug the IPL into its power supply. The two little blue [sensor] lights come on, the little fan starts up, and you are good to go. It really is just that simple. To be completely honest there is some discomfort while using this device. The IPL creates an intense flash of light. There is no impact, but there is HEAT, because that's how an IPL works. There, the simple truth. Because there is a flash of heat (let's call it discomfort) I would recommend starting out testing this on a body part that is less sensitive, like say... your legs, feet, or hands. I don't recommend going strait for the pits, tummy, or even MORE tender areas... but that's just my opinion. Get a little used to the heat sensation, then get more brave is my suggestion! NOTE: I have noticed if I push down a little harder there is less discomfort for some reason, and lightly rubbing the area after the flash seems to help some too. Now, some really personal, honest, and plain talk... I have now used this IPL everywhere on my body that grows hair below my ears. I got really sick two summers ago, and having someone at the hospital either have to shave me (or even worse... simply apply adhesive bandages all over my thick hair) is often worse than having the needles stuck in my body. I decided hairless wouldn't be such a bad way to go (it's cleaner too) so I've now used this IPL extensively. That being said, I'm now about a month-and-a half into the process. I still have to shave a little, but it's more fuzz shaving instead of piano wire shaving. The dark, thick hair is gone, I have much less stubble, and the stubble that is there is much lighter in color. My skin also feels smoother after I do spot-shave. That's all very nice, in my humble opinion. I have NOT shaved my arms or my legs now in weeks. All I do is when I see or feel dark stubble growing, I get the IPL out and treat those exact areas. The dark hair is now sparse enough where I can zap it without having to be concerned with over-treating any specific area. I have also gotten more used to the sensation of the heat, and it doesn't bother me much at all any more. That being said, I have always been able to dry shave without getting razor burn, so that's probably a factor too. AGAIN, this took a lot of my time. I cannot stress enough that this is an investment in TIME and MONEY. I was over a month into treating myself before I really said, "Hey, I think I kinda like this thing!" It's hasn't been an end-all, but it has taken me back to when I was about twelve years old on the body-hair scale. The peach fuzz I'm left with, the greatly lessened shaving time, and the smoother skin after I spot shave, have made this IPL worth the investment [to me] so far.
