What it is:An FDA approved at-home treatment to obtain permanent, professional hair removal results. What it does:Designed for men and women, the easy-to-use Flash&Go™ is an FDA-cleared home-use device for obtaining permanent hair removal results. It uses highly sophisticated Home Pulsed Light™ (HPL) technology to safely and effectively provide you with proven long-term hair removal.

Review 1 for Flash&Go Permanent Hair Removal Set
WORKS, but Bulb and Electricity Bill Get Ya!
-04.05.13
No B.S.... this IS working for me. I am doing my forearms, legs, bikini area and underarms. Just finished fourth treatment and on the arms and legs there is only a quarter as much hair growing as before, it genuinely looks like i have a condition that only allows for little patches of hair to grow. Coarser hair of underarms and bikini area is being a bit more resistant so i might increase how often it gets zapped since it is stubborn and grows faster anyways. So yeah, I am glad I got it. However...
I am only five foot, and doing all the parts of my body mentioned I am going through one bulb each session. Also, HOLY ELECTRIC BILL!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm glad this is working, but I wish I would have caught on to how drastically this would be effected earlier in the game. Get creative in how you deal with these issues, I just want you to know ahead of time, it's definitely more than the initial cost. But hey, it's almost summer and I'm pretty close to hairless where I have zapped at this stage, so I'm happy.

Review 2 for Flash&Go Permanent Hair Removal Set
AMAZING!!!
-03.27.13
Quick Take: amazing, effective, easy
I cant tell you enough how amazing this device is! I have been using it for about 5 months and I have barley any hair left! I have practically did my entire body- face, pits, bikini area, legs even the little hairs on my toes! Shave first, use every two weeks (small areas like lip and pits they said once a week) build your levels (the higher the level the more you see) and stay out of the sun! ...Easy, effective, and great for sensitive skin like mine! ... i don't know why others have had bad experiences, mine has been amazing.

Review 4 for Flash&Go Permanent Hair Removal Set
Beware of Picture Versus Product
-01.30.13
Quick Take: useful
The picture for this product is deceiving: it shows a loaded laser and two extra cartridges. It leads the consumer to believe they are buying a laser with 3 cartridges, that is not the case. *This laser only comes with 2 cartridges.*
I am very pale and I have very dark hair so laser hair removal works for me. This product has worked very well for me. I just wish that the cartridges lasted longer and maintained their strength throughout each use instead of weakening as the cartridge runs out,

Review 5 for Flash&Go Permanent Hair Removal Set
Dont Buy!
-12.03.12
Quick Take: disappointing
I am an ideal candidate - pale skin with dark hair - and used the product as instructed for over 6 months and have had NO RESULTS. Such a waste of TIME and MONEY. I should have known that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Review 6 for Flash&Go Permanent Hair Removal Set
This actually works
-12.02.12
Quick Take: worth the price
I bought this 6 months ago & it works great. I've been using it on facial hair along my chin & jaw line. I've noticed a reduction in the thickness of the hair & it's growing in less frequently. In the past I've gotten profesional laser treatments & Silk'n seems to work almost as well. Worth the price.

Review 7 for Flash&Go Permanent Hair Removal Set
So far so good
-12.01.12
Quick Take: worth a try
Can't say much for results since I've only done my first treatment but this is definitely the one to buy. You get one extra cartridge (in total 3) for only $300 and I haven't seen any problems with its performance so far.

Permanent Hair Removal
-11.30.12
I have spent thousand of dollars at the salons getting laser or electrolysis hair removal done on my face, only to feel frustrated when all my hair grew back. I saw Flash&Go at Sephora, but was really reluctant to purchase it. I finally bit the bullet and purchased one, it was cheaper then the 3000.00 for another laser session at the spa. Well it works, I have been using the Flash&Go for the past four months and there is a noticeable difference in the hair growth on my face. I am Italian, that should say a lot right there. I use Flash&Go as directed and my face looks so much better, it is brighter because there are no more dark shadows or ingrown hairs.

Review 9 for Flash&Go Permanent Hair Removal Set
Pretty good!
-11.20.12
I've had my Flash and Go for almost 2 months now and I feel pretty pleased with it. I have had IPL in the past and had great results (I am the poster child, super pale/dark hair). I bought it since my hair regrowth is lessened so much that I can't quite justify the $$$ for a pro treatment.
It doesn't seem quite as powerful as the pro version(similar sensation, not as strong), but I am seeing less hair after each treatment. If you have the $$ to spare and you meet the criteria, go for it! If you are ashamed of your perma-5 o'clock shadow, this might be your lifesaver!
