Epilators (and waxing) hurt like h*ll, give me terrible ingrown hairs, and have to be done every few weeks. My IPL was painless and the results have lasted for months so far. Plus I can do it on my schedule, at home. If my at home IPL saves me thousands, I'm more than happy to do a session every month or two for the next year to keep the results up. YMMV.

Do you mean this one? It's the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 PL5137

On sale right now ($294) and I've had my eye on it.
NP. This is the one I have. I have very light skin and very dark hair and I have hirsutism, so I basically bought it for my face. I still have facial hair but I don’t have the same dark “patches” from hairs yet to emerge, and the hairs are few enough that I can pluck them.
I was really inconsistent with my legs but it seems half-ish of my leg hair is gone.
Not a laser, but exactly what I needed.

What's that versus this?

The PL5157 has two different caps, one standard and one precision.
I never used the precision cap, just the wide one for legs, bikini, underarms, and upper lip. And I would check that the strength of the pulse is the same between models.

Yes, that’s the one! I got it about a year ago; I used it a few times a week (I forget what it recommends, maybe every 3-5 days?) at first, barely used it all winter, and then started maybe every every other week (or less) this summer.
I have this one as well and it's amazing. Totally life changing, in the sense that not having to shave daily during shorts season is life changing. Couldn't recommend more highly!

The Tria 4X. Don't expect it to be pain free like the IPL devices though. It's an actual laser.

Thanks - how frequently did you use it to get to that point?

Looking at Amazon prime day deals and considering this, esp for lower legs and bikini area. Is it worth it, which brand/model?
