- Bikini area harder to treat (US testers)
Where reviewers disagree Good Housekeeping's two editions split on the bikini line: US Beauty Lab testers found that area tricky and suggest passing if it's your focus, whereas the UK 300-woman panel named the 9000 Series its Best IPL for bikini lines and praised how it kept regrowth there at bay after six weeks.
The sources (2)
Our top-tested pick in the GH Beauty Lab’s most recent hair removal study, Philips’ device comes with four attachments for the face, bikini, underarms, and body.
They found that it was super easy to use and hold, had a comfortable power level (meaning, not too strong!), and consistent flashes when using. Plus, it did not burn skin.
You may want to pass if you are just focused on the bikini area, as testers found that area tricky with this device.
GH Institute panel score: 88/100
After just three weeks, all our testers were satisfied with the lack of regrowth, with many saying it worked wonders on both facial and body hair.
It won brownie points for how easy it was to use and how well it managed to keep hair around the bikini line at bay after six weeks.
