Silk n SensEpil

Obviously bodily hair growth can be a source of embarrassment (unless they grow on your head, which is normal). Hey, no one would like to look like a walking human gorilla, right? Hairs on some parts of the body are considered acceptable for men, but they are a big no-no to women of all ages if they want to keep up with appearances. That is why hair removal tools have grown in popularity – and in variety. Silk’n SensEpil (a play on the words ‘sense’ and ‘appeal’) is one of the more recent innovations of a hair remover tool.

 

Its Physical Appearance

This pink-and-white device seems, at a glance, to cater for women. That is no surprise, given that it is usually women who fret over hair growth on their arms, legs, underarms, face, neck…in short, everywhere but their scalps. However it can be used by men, too, to achieve the same results despite the misleading colors.

It comes with an in-built skin color sensor, which ensures that your skin color is suitable for treatment before moving into action. If your skin color is unsuitable the Silkn SensEpil device will not work. Generally, this device works best for those with fair skin and dark hair, although the manufacturer claims that those with medium-toned skin can use this product too.

It uses Home Pulsed Light technology, which is based on a synergetic combination of a few energy types that have proven to be really effective at removing hairs. This light-based technology has been patented by the company, so you’ll not be able to find one exactly like it anywhere else. Worried it might not work? Cast aside your worries now because Silk’n SensEpil has been FDA approved, and is the first of its kind to be approved as an over-the-counter hair removal product. FDA testing is stringent and so far it has only approved two hair removal tools, so it lends the device some credibility. Sounds great, right?

But it doesn’t stop there: it doesn’t just sound great; it makes you look great too once you start using it regularly. You should be able to see a remarkable difference after three to four treatment sessions, maybe after only two if your hair growth is rather mild. It might take some time for the effectiveness of the treatment to become apparent, so don’t become discouraged if you don’t see results right away.  Keep track of your improvements (or supposed lack thereof) by tracking each part of your body that you shaved and recording them down after every treatment. You’ll be able to compare the then and the now and hopefully then you will be able to see the difference.

 

How Does It Work?

The Home Pulsed Light technology uses optical energy to stunt hair growth. The energy the device emits gets absorbed by melanin in hair strands, turns into heat energy, and then kills hair follicles. Talk about getting to the root of the problem – this device does it literally!

The rest of your skin stays safe because the Silk’n SensEpil cools down the epidermis and the surrounding tissue even as it scouts out hairs to heat up. Of course, all this will only work if the skin color sensor deems your skin suitable for treatment. It will not work at all, for example, if you have been recently sunburnt or are naturally dark-skinned.

It is recommended that you treat yourself fortnightly first until you see results; then you can scale down to doing it monthly. You should also try to progress up to higher levels of intensity to produce optimal results. Don’t bother waxing your hairs off before using the Silk’n SensEpil: you can use it as is.

 

Cheaper than Salons

Anyone who has been to a salon for any kind of hair removal treatment will quickly tell you that they cost a bomb – especially since a more complete removal would require subsequent visits in the not-so-distant future. Silk’n SensEpil eliminates that need – and that near-astronomical cost – by allowing you to do it yourself in the comfort of your home. You only need to purchase the device once, then you’re set for a long time and the only other expenditures you’ll incur are a negligible electrical fee and the cost of replacement cartridges.

 

Fast

A treatment with the Silk’n SensEpil is certainly a lot faster than going to the salon, even if you cut out the travel time for the latter. Where hair removal salons usually require more than an hour, select parts of your body can be done in less than half an hour with this nifty product. This spares you more time to focus on more seriously affected parts – or you can just pack up the device then continue with your daily life with that precious time it has saved you.

 

Effective

Silkn SensEpil reviews have generally been favorable, as is expected of an FDA-approved product – although this is because of the usefulness of the device itself. It claims to permanently stop hair growth, and users of the device have attested to that. Do bear in mind that your hairs will seem as though they were still growing a few weeks after the treatments, so don’t brush it off just yet: those hairs are merely falling out and you’ll notice that they’re easy to pull out if you try.

Also, it will seem less effective if you had missed a treatment because some of the hairs might not have been affected yet, and thus remain robust. If you wish to see consistent results, then by all means structure a constant treatment schedule and stick to that.

Sometimes, as a result of the treatments your hair will grow back lighter and finer, rather than be erased completely. While this does make it harder for the device to do its job (because it affects melanin, which are found in smaller amounts in fairer hairs), have heart and continue trying, because Silk’n SensEpil might be still be able to meet your expectations.

 

Things to Note

The Silk’n SensEpil is not really the cheapest hair removal tool out there, so if you get one you’ll definitely want to reap optimal performance levels from it. So here are some things you should do in order to better take advantage of it:

  • Tone down those lights: As the Silk’n SensEpil works with light, a bright room with strong lights will negatively affect its performance.
  • It will sting: Depending on the level you choose, you might feel no pain at all or a stinging sensation as the device does its job; but then again, as they say, ‘no pain, no gain’, right?

All in all the Silkn SensEpil is a delightful hair removal device to use, and is certainly a serious alternative to painfully plucking out hairs one by one – or all at once with wax. Ouch.
