Project: Goddess Skin – Introducing Infini’Silk by Veet

Smooth, hairless skin is a must during the summer when you’re on the beach or walking around in a strapless sundress, but most methods of hair removal are either messy, or very expensive, or both, and often weren’t permanent.

When laser hair removal hit mainstream, it was a hit because it was a solution, but it required that you shed your inhibitions and traveled to a virtual stranger who would zap your hair away (hopefully). Of course, the times are changing quickly, and beauty advancements are keeping up. Veet, famous for depilatory hair removal, wants to help women permanently achieve their hair removal goals by developing Infini’Silk, an at home laser hair removal system, which I’ll be trying this summer (and sharing my results).

I know that hair laser removal works, because I’ve had it done before, by a skilled aesthetician who had to move back to Texas before she could finish working on me (and I just wasn’t comfortable finding another person to bare myself in front of, so I never completely finished Project Goddess Skin). Now I have the chance to try out at home laser removal for the first time, and am super excited.

There are two types of Infini’Silk home treatments. Both can be used pretty much anywhere on the body and are FDA cleared. Infini’Silk glides along the skin as it zaps your hair follicles, and has up to 50,000 light pulses. Infini’Silk Pro is moved to each area to be treated and offers up to 5,000 light pulses per cartridge (replaceable)…neither require protective eyewear.

If you are considering trying laser hair removal at all (and why not? you do it when your schedule allows, anywhere you want, and no worries about what anyone thinks of your thighs), just be aware that the best candidates have lighter skin and darker hair, because the contrast is what makes it effective. The laser heat is absorbed by darker pigments (the hair follicle) and the excess heat (hopefully) destroys it, so it no longer products a hair. If there isn’t contrast (such as blonde hairs) it won’t be effective, and darker skin can actually burn because it absorbs the heat also. Don’t tan before using this!

Based on my initial impressions of the laser build and packaging, I am optimistic that my results will be as impressive, so stay tuned for my results after trying it.
