Tip: According to Silk'n, depending on the body areas you wish to treat, you will typically need to use from one to four disposable lamp cartridges during the first year of using Silk'n SensEpil. Buy directly from the manufacturer by going to the Silk'n web site and navigating to refills. This is to ensure that you get the full pulse refill. On Amazon, and other online retailers, there are refills that are cheaper but on closer inspection that only offer pulses - so be careful that you choose the right pack.
Useful for building up to correct power setting that's suitable for your skin type. The device is designed for people who have 4 or less on the fitzpatrick scale. If the skin level is darker, then the unit will not flash. Results do tend to vary from one person to the next, however, and while clinical trials have proven that the device is effective in the majority of cases, some people don't respond significantly to the treatment.
All IPL kits work the same - the Intense Pulsed Light that's emitted from the device targets the melalin cells in your hair the cells are responsible for giving your hair colour. These pigment cells are heated by the intense light, which in turn damages the follicle of the hair enough to retard future growth. The time needed to treat lower legs is approximately 30 minutes. The device gives 1 pulse ever 3. This means that larger treatment areas such as arms and legs are feasible with this device, albeit a little bit cumbersome.
The following three sessions should be approximately 4 weeks apart and thereafter you should use the product if and when needed until long-term results are achieved. Here's an extract from the user manual that describes the possible side effects that you may experience with this product My underarms for example now take about days before I need to shave, and then it is a small amount of hair compared to shaving every other day with full growth.
I have noticed slower hair growth as well as lighter in colour hair regrowth. In order to assess the safety and efficacy of home based IPL hair removal devices, 22 female patients received six bi-weekly treatments with the Silk'n Original hair removal device note that the Silk'n original and the Silk'n SensEpil use the same technology and give the same results.
As with all home IPL hair removal devices, you will feel a warming sensation on the area of the skin that is currently being treated. Sometimes you'll feel irritation up to an hour after treatment with redness around the hair shaft and slight swelling.
Pain is subjective, with tolerances varying greatly - however nearly everyone who uses this product describes the discomfort as tolerable at worst. Firstly, and arguably the most importantly, the clinical data really shows the effectiveness of the device for the majority of people that use it. Given that you, as a consumer considering purchasing, have a skin tone of less than IV on the FitzPatrick scale then this is very likely to give you decent results as outlined in the clinical data section of this review.
I like the fact that the device is suitable for use on both large and smaller treatment areas. It's also nice to know that the safety features are there to prevent accidents such as burns or eye damage. My main issue with the device is the limited light cartridge life. If I'm being fussy, I'd also say that another negative point is that the device isn't wireless unlike the Tria 4X.
Realistically, though, do you really need your home hair removal device to be portable? That's not something that's high up on my order of priorities, but maybe that's a deal breaker for you. In most clinics, that's the equivalent of 1 professional laser hair removal session.
I'm a computer science graduate, have a passion for self development and created this site as a side project due to the lack of complete, understandable, helpful and truthful information about hair removal available online.

It makes sure the device only turns on when applied on suitable skin tones. This unique safety feature will not enable treatment if your skin is too dark or too tanned, taking the guesswork out of treatment.
But like any skin product or electronic device, one must use according to the operating instructions and user precautions.
Start with clean, shaven skin — never wax. Progress quickly to higher energy levels: after you have tested your skin on the low energy setting, we recommend you move up to higher levels. Schedule your treatments in two week intervals. Most users see results after three or four treatments, at which point you can begin treating with the SensEpil on a monthly basis.
The time can vary depending on the area you are treating. Two full legs can take up to 30 minutes, or two underarms could take fewer than 10 minutes. Since the device runs on regular electric power, it can be used for as long as needed to complete a full treatment of the desired area s for hair removal. After that treatments should be done if hairs have grown back, until the desired results are achieved.
The total number of sessions varies from person to person, but, in general, most individuals notice a reduction of hair after four treatments, with very good results after six treatments. Most females require eight full sessions. Males tend to have more stubborn and deeper hair and may require 10 to 12 treatments, depending on where the treatment areas are. Hair removal treatments work best on darker hair types, or hair that contains more melanin.
Melanin is the pigment that gives hair and skin its color, and will absorb light energy. Black and dark brown respond the best, although brown and light brown hairs will also respond but typically require more treatments.
Red may show some response. SensEpil removes unwanted hair by selectively addressing hair pigment. Varied quantities of pigment also exist in the surrounding tissue of skin. Treating dark skin can result in adverse effects such as burns, blisters, and skin color changes hyper- or hypo-pigmentation. Many other laser and light devices, professionally and at home, also have the same restrictions on naturally dark skin complexion.
The SensEpil hair removal device comes equipped with a built-in Skin Color Sensor that is designed to measure the skin tone of the applied surface and enable application only on suitable skin tones. This unique safety feature will not enable treatment if your skin is too dark or too tanned. But you can feel confident that most users will see a noticeable reduction in unwanted hair after four treatments. Remember that with each treatment, you should increase the energy level.
It is important to be consistent during your hair removal treatment as hair may sometimes appear to be growing back after a treatment, but typically after two weeks many of these hairs will fall out naturally.
This is why you need to treat multiple times for best results. The SensEpil is best used when users have not been waxing, tweezing, or using depilatory cream in the two weeks before treatment.
Waxing, tweezing and depilatory creams will temporarily remove the hair follicle, which the device needs to target to remove the hair. If you have been waxing, shaving or using depilatory creams, just wait two weeks before you begin your SensEpil treatment. Side effects and complications, while possible, are not common if SensEpil is used according to the instructions and precautions included with the device.
Please read these instructions before beginning treatment. In clinical studies, a small fraction of users reported some sensation of heat, redness around the hair shaft, and slight swelling. These conditions usually subsided within an hour after treatment. For more information on side-effects and how to avoid them please read the SensEpil instruction manual.
Yes, SensEpil may be used by men, although hairs on men, especially those on the chest or back, will require more treatments than those of women to achieve best results. It is quite common for hair to appear as if it is still growing up to two weeks after a treatment with SensEpil. It is also possible that some hairs, due to missed treatment or different stages of growth, were not affected by the SensEpil treatment.
These hairs will be treated in follow-up sessions, hence the need for multiple treatments in order to get the best results. This phenomenon is well documented amongst aestheticians and doctors who use light or laser hair removal devices in their clinics.
It is possible that some hairs will grow back lighter and finer after treatment.
