Note: not MTF
If you’re light skinned, oh yeah does it work. I used on my legs for 6 weeks, once a year for 2 years in a row, and now the hair that did regrow is so much thinner and lighter that I didn’t even shave this summer. Whoever is saying it can’t be used on face - not true, get one with a facial attachment. Whoever is saying it takes a long time or isn’t effective - I was shaving weekly anyway (which you have to do before each treatment) and lasering my legs I got down to 20 minutes; it’s not much extra time but it had a drastic effect on my comfort level going more than 2 days without shaving. Doesn’t work on my darker private bits but for legs, body, pits, and face, it was a complete game changer for me. I got the Braun silk expert pro 5 back in 2023. I would look for one with a better continuous-pulse now, but am otherwise quite satisfied.
To reduce steps, I keep the electric kettle on the counter. Then it’s just steps 5-12. But you also forgot step 10.B = forget about tea, and 10.C = remember tea and try to figure out where you left it.
