A few years ago, I splurged on laser hair removal for my full legs. When I did it, it was very expensive. Almost $5,000 for the entire procedure. Since then, the total cost has gone down, but not by much. There are other parts of my body that I want to work on but just don’t have the time or the money to put aside for it all. I also have an 11-year-old daughter who is BEGGING to shave her legs. I refuse to let her and am looking for other hair reduction options.
I’ve been watching the market for at-home treatment machines and even tested out a few in hopes that one will work on my thick, course, dark hair. Unfortunately, several attempts later, I kept coming up empty-handed. That is… until today.
Venus just launched the NEW Venus Silk-expert powered by Braun. No other IPL (intense pulsed light technology) device is faster while operating at high power which means you can work on larger surfaces of skin quicker. What a bonus if you are leggy like me. 🙂
The IPL emits gentle pulses of light beneath the surface of the skin. When the hair follicle and root absorbs the light, it’s transformed into heat that breaks the hair growth cycle. This helps you see a decrease in hair growth.
Venus Silk-expert features a SensoAdapt™ skin tone sensor that ‘reads’ your skin for you to deliver just the right amount of light – no need for the complicated manual color charts that other devices require. It automatically optimizes the light intensity on the basis of the skin color. Many IPL devices don’t have a skin tone sensor, leaving users to compare their skin tone to paper charts in order to set the energy level. Who has time for that? And not for nothing, but the more you leave up to the consumer, the more chance there is for human error. I love that this machine handles the light intensity and I don’t have to worry about it!
With Venus Silk-expert powered by Braun, you’re ready to join the 89% who maintained noticeable visible hair reduction, even after 12 months from their last treatment in a clinical trial. The device lasts up to SIX years if used for full body treatment or 70 years if you’re just focusing on your underarms. BOOM!
Get started today! Retails for $399.

The Venus Silk expert is a lot more affordable option compared to laser. This can really save you a lot of options.

I need to try this tool. I am so hairy and it grows way too fast. It would be nice to slow the growth.
