I have an opportunity to get one of these Quazar IPL-600 machines for about half the retail price. They retail at about $4000 USD. Do they work and are they safe ? Are they powerful enough to kill hair ?

Here’s a link to a page with some of the specs on the machine:

(FYI I won’t be buying it from this company. I’ve heard some negative things from people who have bought stuff from them in the past.)

Spec summary:

180Jcm2 energy density at 100-800nm (broad based light) with a pulse duration of 0.1 seconds. Pulse frequency is user-adjustable from 1-10 emissions per second. Beam width appears ti be about 2 cm x about 0.5 cm.

This looks like it’s a lot more substantial machine than the cheaper/smaller Quazar systems.

Person who will use the machine is fairly light skinned (Type II) with dark hair. Girlfriend will use it for bikini & armpits. I will use it to kill the few sparse chest hairs that I have.

Would like to know if anyone has used one of these and what kind of results they had. Do the experts on this forum think it might have enough power to actually kill hair rather than just stun it and make it go dormant for a while ?

Thanks,

Danger Boy

the problems that people have had with this company is that they weren’t able to return machines when they didn’t work. buying the machine from somewhere else won’t make it work any better.

there are plenty of discussions on various home units on this forum, so I’m not going to go into detail. you can run a search and read them. I will just say that there has been noone so far in years of these forums’ existence who posted any successful results with any of these machines, especially an IPL. That should tell you enough. $4K or even $2K would be a waste in my opinion. Your girlfriend can get professional treatments with an alexandrite machine (which cost $50K and up btw) for a total of $1000-1500 for 6-8 treatments for both of those areas over the course of a year and a half with great results like I did.
