I was skeptical when I purchased the ulike 10 and fully expected to return it within the 90 days. I've only had it for 4 weeks, so can't comment on long-term hair removal, but I am extremely pleased with the results! I followed the instructions by using it every other day for 4 weeks. It didn't hurt me at all.
I am a very fair skinned girl with dark hair. It was always visible even after shaving and would grow back extremely fast. I have what is called strawberry legs and they would be prickly within an hour of shaving, so I've never really experienced smooth legs, until about last week! My hair is still not fully gone on my legs, but they are actually smooth for the first time in my life! The "strawberry legs" are still noticeable but have improved a lot! Even if this laser hair removal keeps my legs smooth between showers then I will be happy, and so far it is doing that!!
I've also been the girl who would always wear shorts when swimming due to being able to see the dark hair under my skin along the underwear line/upper thigh. That is almost completely gone as well. Not fully gone yet but it's definitely becoming less and not as noticeable, to where even now I would feel comfortable wearing regular swim bottoms.
My underarms were always a source of self consciousness as well. I was always too self conscious to raise my arms above my head due to the dark hair that could be seen underneath my skin. That hair is almost non-existent now.
Private area hair is being a little more stubborn but it's definitely not as thick anymore. Husband noticed yesterday that it's definitely a lot smoother down there, even with hair regrowth (this is also another area I've never been able to get smooth even with shaving, as it's always just prickly).
All in all, I am extremely pleased. My hair is still not fully gone after the 4 weeks in most areas on my body. But there's a significant improvement! I'm going to continue with the every other day treatments a little longer before I move in to the maintenance phase. I would love if it fully gets rid of all the hair, but like I said previously, I'll be happy if it only gets me through between showers. The smooth skin makes me feel so much better!
For the first two weeks I used the SHR setting everywhere except upper lip and arms where I used the high setting (I'm not as self conscious about the hair on my arms). The 3rd and 4th week I did SHR plus the fast glide setting (so went over it twice) on my legs, and either high/fast, high/high, or normal/fast on my arms depending on how tired I was. I can usually get the arms and legs done in 2 episodes of a 24 minute show. So it did still take a bit, but it's proving to be worth it! And the underarms, upper lip, chest, bellybutton, and private areas would all be an additional 10 or so minutes before I got dressed. So those areas weren't bad at all!
