This post is sponsored by Mom Central and I received the following product to review. All opinions expressed are my own.
I can remember the summer before 6th grade like it was yesterday. It was one of those moments in life were you transition from a child into a teen and I couldn’t wait to grow up as fast as I could. That was the summer that I first started shaving my legs. I can remember being so excited and my mom telling me “Once you start you’ll never be able to stop”. But I didn’t care because I was ready. Fast forward 20 years and shaving my legs has become one of those daily shores that I hate to do. But my mom was right because once you start shaving the hair grows back thicker and darker than before and unless I want hairy big foot legs I have no choice but to shave every day. I have looked into other options such as permanent hair removal but the cost for doing the procedure on your legs is very expensive.
The Silk’n Flash & Go Hair Removal System is the perfect option for people who want hair removal without the cost. Professional hair removal clinics can run in the thousands not to mention the frequent office visits that you have to make. With the Silk’n you are able to remove hair all from the comfort of your home. The unit is FDA cleared technology for permanent hair removal/ reduction for the entire body. It’s not just for ladies either, men can use the system on their chest, back, arms or wherever they want the hair gone.
Setting up the unit couldn’t be easier. I would recommend watching the DVD that is included before you get started on the hair removal process just so you can know exactly what to do. The light cartridge is already attached to the gun so all you have to do is plug it into the wall and you’re ready to go.
You do want to make sure that the area that will receive the hair removal treatment is shaved, dry and free from lotions or powders. I would suggest testing out a small area on your leg before you do a large treatment just to make sure that your skin doesn’t get irritated. So the one thing thing that I worried about when I first used the Silk’n was if it would hurt. I am pleased to tell you that it didn’t hurt at all. There is a slight (and I mean very slight) sting when the light hits your skin but that is it. There is no discomfort afterwards either. In fact I didn’t even notice any redness to my legs.
There is also an option to upgrade to the Lux Cartridge which gives you all the flashes you will ever need to be hair free. Upgrading to this system allows you to never have to worry about your light running out. I made a short video demonstrating how to use the Silk’n flash & Go below. You can get a better idea of what it’s like by actually seeing it work.
So would I recommend Silk’n Flash & Go? Absolutely. It’s quick, easy and virtually painless. And best of all it is affordable and convenient for busy moms. I have been using the Silk’n for about six weeks now and have already noticed great results. In fact I noticed results after only 2-3 sessions of using the system. I know since my hair is darker that it will probably take a few more treatments but I am excited about the thought of NO MORE SHAVING! We are actually going on a cruise in just two weeks and I am thrilled about being able to confidently were my sundresses!
