I have never been a person that gets ready to go and has some time to spare. No matter how much time I give myself to get ready in the morning, I end up having to hustle and rush through my last few tasks before I run late.
So whenever I can cut out part of my morning routine, I’m all for it. Especially shaving.
I have dark hair that grows fast, so I’ve always had to shave daily. But it’s something I don’t enjoy doing and adds several minutes to my already hectic morning routine.
So when I got the chance to try an at-home permanent hair-removal system, I jumped at the chance.
The Silk’n Flash&Go hair-removal system uses a patented Home Pulsed Light (HPL) technology. The revolutionary gadget emits gentle light pulses to target hair follicles at the root in order to prevent future hair growth. The pulses of light are gentle on skin, but effective enough on hair follicles to disable hair growth. Although the light energy is absorbed by the hair follicles, the surrounding tissue stays a normal temperature.
The Flash&Go system comes with everything I needed to get started. The kit contains a handheld Flash&Go hair removal device, a pre-installed narrow lamp cartridge with 5,000 pulses and an instructional DVD.
The Silk’n Flash&Go is really easy to use. I just turn the unit on, press it up against clean and shaved skin, then press the trigger. The unit emits a flash of light and I feel a brief moment of warmth. I then move the unit to another spot and repeat, continuing across the entire area I want to treat.
For the first treatment, I started off on the lowest pulse setting, as recommended. I then moved up to higher settings as I continued to treat without any redness or pain. Some people have reported feeling a slight tingle or buzz, but I had no pain at all, even on the highest setting. The higher setting means I should have diminished hair sooner, so I’m pleased that it’s so easy and painless.
Many users report a lighter hair growth after 2-4 treatments, with unwanted hair permanently removed after 4-6 treatments. Treatments should be a few weeks apart to allow additional hairs to move from the resting phase to the Anagen phase, when the treatment is effective.
I’ve done 2 treatments so far and have already noticed some difference in the hair growth. I’ll definitely need additional treatments, but already see a lighter amount of hair growing back.
Since doing my legs can take a while, I’ve been doing them when I sit and watch tv with my husband. Easy peasy, and in just a few more treatments, I’ll not have to worry about shaving again. Silk’n Flash&Go is safe to use all over, so I’m looking forward to doing my underarms and bikini line too.

I would absolutely recommend the Silk’n Flash&Go. I’ve only had it a short time and am already excited about the difference I’m seeing. I’ve always wanted to try professional laser hair removal, but the cost and time commitment was just too high.
Now I’m thrilled to know that all I need is the Silk’n Flash&Go!

I too have dark hair and have to shave daily. I have always wanted to try an at-home permanent hair-removal system, but have been very skeptical about all the products out there. The Silk’n Flash&Go sounds like just what I need! Oh not have to worry about shaving again would be wonderful! Thanks SO much for this review!
I have pretty thin and light hair so I can go a while before shaving but I would still love to try this out
This sounds like something I could handle. I hate unwanted hair but hate to waste so much time shaving. No body has time for all that. I’ll need to look into this further. Thanks for the info.
Luckily I have light hair so getting rid of hair is not too much of an issue for me. This is a very neat product however and thanks for the review.
I would love to try this product. I have seen a few reviews now and it seems like it works well. Anything to get away from shaving is great.
I really want to try this. From one dark hair to another I hate to shave yet have to or I take the chance of someone capturing me thinking I’m Big Foot. 🙂
I have wanted to try Laser hair removal. I think this is a more affordable option for people.
Oh my goodness- if I could find a way to not shave or wax, I’d totally do it! I’m certainly going to try this!
I shave daily…and it’s a pain! I would love to get this product…I’ve tried so many different things that have never worked.
