At first I thought this was a flash of light that immediately removed hair which it isnt. It used the light to get rid of the hair root which allows the hair to fall out on it's own over a week or so. Because it's not instant for the first few weeks I was using the device without seeing much change. It wasn't till 4/5 weeks that I noted I had to shave less before use. The device can be used on bikini areas and underarm but I found these to be more sensitive to the heat. Also the device can't be used over tattoos. I made that mistake and the black area swelled up for a few days like a blister but recovered fully. For this reason beware if areas of use have tattoos or your skin tone is very dark. I think this device would be most useful if you have sensitive skin to shaving, epilating, waxing or creams as an alternative. I'm not sure if the 200 price tag is worth the longer wait and shaving before use vs immediate effect for other hair removal methods. The device is easy to use, the flash is bright so you may see spots! There is a slight warming sensation on use and only discomfort from heat if you repeatedly zap the same area 3/4 times. The lack of pain vs emulating or waxing is a plus and it could be seen as a long term investment with the unlimited flashes from the bulb. My disappointment was no instantly visible effect but this may be personal to me, the booklet mentions different users may have different experiences. I will continue to use the device as once a week.
