I shave all my body hair and would love it gone for good, so I was thinking of getting one, but here is why I decided against it, an IPL or laser treatment basically destroys the hair folicals, great, no more hair!! But.. A lot of your skins melolin production is done in the hair folicals, ( which is why it is also used to lighten dark patches of skin). My worry is that if you limit melolin production, you won't tan as much which is your skins natural defence against uv rays, leaving you more suseptable to sun burn and skin damage, and I do like being out in the sun... So, think I'll just carry on shaving,
No regrets!
I visit a place where they have salon-strength IPL machine about once every 6 weeks. And in between I use an epilator to plug any unwanted hair anywhere. Loving the smoothness (which is different from shaving).
