Editorial Summary: Nood IPL device? Works if you stick with it, especially on pits and bikini. Takes forever on legs tho. Can burn if you go too high or rush. Skin tone and hair color matter big time. Some folks love it, others got burns or meh results. Budget-friendly but build can be iffy. Worth a try if you want cheaper DIY IPL but patience is key.

I’ve used The Nood Flasher 2.0 five times and I’ve seen a major difference. The hair isn’t gone, but it has significantly slowed the growth. I’ve gone three days without shaving and feel comfortable wearing shorts in public. I started on level 1 and worked my way to 7 and was surprised by the lack of pain even at the highest level (caveats listed below).
I’ve used this (not the exact one) but very similar and it definitely did work but you have to use it a lot and very consistently to get results! But with that being said, i recommend one to a friend and she had way better results than me! Basically the lighter your skin and the darker your hair (contrast) the better it works!
Works! Be consistent. Bought one off woot!
I have an older version of the Nood. It does work, but you have to keep up with it.
I, a 29 year old male, just got my first IPL device, the Nood Flasher 2.0. I got it because it seems like a good enough device for starting out, and was a bit cheaper than other ones, if I like the results with this, I might upgrade to something better later.
I did have to stop using it on Week 3 as I had a contact burn on my underarm but I guess it was because I was using level 7 and pressed the thing too close to my skin. It literally peeled out a small portion of my skin and it was so painful. I ALMOST had to return the product.
I ALMOST had to return the product. I contacted their customer service team which I should say was EXCEPTIONALLY accomodating and answered all my questions. It took some time for me to actually return the product as I got busy with work but me and my husband did notice a difference in hair growth in my pits. That made me change my mind and kept the product.
