For those of us who enjoy smooth legs, arms and bikini lines, especially when heading off on holiday, shaving with a razor or waxing at the salon requires more maintenance than it deserves – not to mention it can be painful.

However, beauty buffs are turning to IPL hair removal devices in place of these treatments, with many citing ‘incredible’ results in just a few weeks. And shoppers are racing to renowned beauty brand Keskine to snap up its hair removal gadget that has been dropped in price to its lowest-ever offer.

Paired with the special discount code ‘REACH30’, the Keskine IPL Hair Removal Handset is now priced at £139.30, reduced from £199 (RRP £299), on Keskine’s website, making it a more budget-friendly alternative to salon treatments. This beats its previous low price of £159.20.

The at-home device works to help ‘permanently eliminate unwanted body hair’ across various areas, including legs, underarms, face and the bikini line, according to the brand. Customers report noticing visible changes in as little as one to four weeks, the website states, with more comprehensive results typically emerging over six to twelve weeks of regular use.

Promising smoother, hair-free skin without the continuous maintenance of shaving or waxing, the IPL device targets coarse, stubborn hairs directly at the root with its Intense Pulsed Light, resulting in an up to ‘98% hair reduction in just four weeks’ when used as directed.

It also boasts a pretty rapid treatment time. For example, full-body sessions take approximately 24 minutes, making it simple to incorporate into a weekly routine. The device is SGS-certified, indicating it meets recognised safety standards, and it’s designed to be painless to use, reports Wales Online.

The Keskine IPL Hair Removal Handset also features an integrated ice-cooling system, which ensures skin remains cool throughout the treatment, enhancing comfort even when used on delicate areas.

With this hair removal method proving highly popular – and over time, more cost-effective – the beauty industry has a range of alternative gadgets offering similar results. For example, the Philips Lumea 8000 Series is now £329.99, reduced from £449, at Boots. This model includes two attachments suitable for body and facial use, whilst customers can also download a Lumea IPL app for ‘personalised hair removal treatment’, according to the retailer.

A budget-friendly alternative is the Braun Silk-epil 5 5-000 for £59.99 at Argos. This epilator features ‘MicroGrip tweezer technology’, which has been designed to extract hairs that traditional waxing cannot capture, delivering up to one month of silky-smooth skin.

However, the Keskine IPL Hair Removal Handset has garnered impressive feedback on the platform, with nearly 4,000 reviews praising its performance. One customer said: “I love that I can use it in the comfort of my home. The results are incredible!”

Another added: “I’ve been using this for a few weeks, and I’m already seeing a noticeable reduction in hair growth. It’s so easy and painless to use. I highly recommend it to anyone!”

Someone else stated: “This is the best hair removal method I’ve tried. It’s so much easier and less painful than waxing or shaving. I’ve noticed a big difference after just a few uses.”

With an impressive 4.9 star rating, the website doesn’t seem to have many negative experiences, although some people have shared how they’re not too sure of its value having not used it for long enough. One person said: “This [IPL device] has pretty standard features and it’s difficult to tell value vs. features at the moment.”

That being said, this wasn’t much of an issue for most as another remarked: “Pretty good! Does what it says, I saw results fairly quickly.” “Truly impressed,” said another, “the quality exceeded my expectations. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.”
