Happy Friday Everyone! Just wanted to answer some of the most common questions I'm getting... 1. Can this be used on the: face, hands, neck, bikini area, chest, arms? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes & yes! My experience is that the skin on different areas is thinner/thicker/more or less sensitive so keep that in mind when treating these other areas and start with the gentle setting if in doubt. 2. Is hair removal/spot removal permanent? Some will be and some won't... on hair the darker the hair the more effectively this will "kill" the follicle with consistent use. Some follicles will become damaged but still grow hair that will likely be thinner than before. After the 1st 12 weeks some monthly maintenance may be required. Age spots will be removed or reduced depending on the spot. If you don't protect your skin from the sun the spots will come back. Again, some maintenance may be required. 3. Will this work on skin with spots but with blonde/grey hair? Yes, the device will target the spots. I used it on my thighs where I don't shave & have vellus (fine blonde) hair. It removed the spots I treated there. 4. Do you shave to use this on hair or should it be grown out? You shave prior to using IPL devices. 5. How many times a week do I use the device? The instructions are to use the device once a week for 12 consecutive weeks for best results. Different hair follicles will be in different stages of the growth cycle each week. Some will be growing, some will be shedding, and some will be dormant. With this cycle only some follicles will have a visible (to the device) hair in the follicle during each treatment. So doing a weekly treatment for 12 weeks you should be able to get all of the follicles during the growth phase. 6. Can this be used/will it work on broken capillaries or is there an at-home device for that? No, this won't work on broken capillaries or veins. Even most in-office lasers don't remove broken capillaries. There are 2 in-office lasers that really do a good job (V-beam & pulsed dye lasers) and I doubt there'll be a home device coming any time soon... Hope that helps!
BEWARE OF THE RETURN POLICY FOR CURRENTBODY! If the item is used it cannot be returned. I bought the face and neck mask and used it once. It hurt my nose and had only one strap so the chin area was approximately 2.5" from my face. CurrentBody WILL NOT ACCEPT RETURNS IF USED. Sorry, Angie but I believe this info shoild be included in the review.
@@joycemasterson896 That's strange. They don't accept returns for the CurrentBody Skin LED Face and Neck mask. And if you read their return policy that's true for anything that has been used. There are a lot of complaints against them bc they would not accept returns for the same issues I had, along with other issues. I would personally get a screen shot of a chat/email with the company that they will accept returns for whatever device a person purchases before pulling the trigger. Happy to hear that you had success though!
Thanks Angie for doing such a thorough review once again. I'm 50 and I've had great results getting age spots removed very simply by my GP and dermatologist where they 'burn' it off (I think it may be liquid nitrogen) during a consult. Takes only a few seconds and they scab over and then are completely gone when scab falls off! I've had a couple off my face and quite a few off hands (now clear of age spots) and arms. Just letting others out there know of this fast and cheap option also :)
@@MISSYMINX261 for the brown pigment age spots it didn't leave any scar at all. Maybe best to have a dermatologist do it though to get the right balance.
Hey Ang. So I bought the Kenzi and I’m ok with it. It works. But how do the nuts and bolts of the Kenzi stack up to this laser. I know it has skin tone sensor and fast pulsing but is it actually stronger than the Kenzi? Ie. more effective in breaking down age spots and or fading them? Hair removal seemed faster you said but is it worth it to purchase another device? Help. My husband is currently doing excessive eye rolling at me for wanting yet another device. Which btw makes no difference in my purchase options cause I eye roll over the 4 horses, 3 Harley Davidson bikes, 1 Harley Drag bike, 1 refurbished classic car and 2 ATVs (I mean he only has one derrière so a bit excessive I would say)
I would like to know the full comparison as well, as I also have the Kenzi, specifically in regards to age/dark spots. Also, comparison of specs. Thanks!
@@menarobertson84 Exactly. Kind of annoying since she sold so many Kenzzi and then never spoke of them again, and now a new one for us to buy🥴. The Kenzzi also has a new version that looks and sounds just like this one. Would like that added into the comparison equation also.
I personally love Braun’s IPL device, which is also FDA approved. It truly reduced my hair growth significantly. I just want to warn anyone who goes in the sun that these devices leave your skin very sensitive. I live in the tropics and started noticing white spots (loss of pigment) on my legs from what I assume to be sun exposure post treatment. It has been months since I used my IPL device on my legs but continue to notice my legs are still sensitive to the sun and white spots appear from time to time.
I’m in my early 50’s and got these white spots a couple of years ago after going into the sun with no protection. It’s like de-pigmented skin. They haven’t gone away.
The body lotion you mentioned…alpha renewal is absolutely the bomb! I am 62 and my skin is sooooo amazing now. I use it everyday twice a day. The best!!!!!
What exactly did you use? I have these ugly spots that don't really look like brown age spots on my lower legs and I hate them. Along with a ugly scar on one and acne scars on my face.
@@barbarafairbanks4578 Are you referring to the alpha repair lotion? I use it regularly and love it. They also make a body wash thats wonderful to. But I am curious because the lotion as well as the body wash has glycolic aha in it should I stop using during the summer months? Would love some feedback. Thanks
I have been using the Braun silk pro number five IPL device on my age spots. Used it on the highest setting one week ago. Also using Retin-A three times a week. My most stubborn age spot is beginning to peel off!
I have darker skin with sun spots on my face . Light/heat can cause rebound hyperpigmentation , so I pass on any light /heat devices and focus use of topicals on my face .
Are you still using this and if so have you noticed anymore of a difference with age spots and knees wrinkles? I've learned so much from you fyi! Thank you so so much! ❤
Has anyone used this on their upper lip for hair and wrinkles? Angie you are the best reviewer and so incredibly thorough and honest. Thank you for your help!
I just purchased the pure IPL device & I'm so excited to get started. THANK YOU Angie for all your research, trials & information. I am 52 & didnt know anything about truly taking care of my skin until I found your videos! Your information is transforming my skin, makeup & overall confidence again.
Hi Angie! Can it be used on your face for age spots? And how long is each treatment? Did you get any scabbing like you would a professional IPL session?
I had really good results with the Kenzi for both hair and skin and feel like it changed my life. But....it is time consuming and I would break up sessions, i.e. upper leg on Tuesday, lower leg on Thursday. I love that my legs looks so much smoother and less of that "plucked chicken" texture. When I have the $$, I might try this device, because it seems to have more features, and again...time is a factor. Thank you for recommending this. (You wouldn't believe how often I find myself quoting "Angie from Hot and Flashy".)
I love everything think about you, have been following you since day one, I'm the one that's in the background who never comment. I share and recommend your videos to everyone I care about. Your so genuine, like million of other women I want to be you...
Wow! Such a difference! Thank you for the video! I wonder if this device can be used for broken capillaries/spider vains on the face? Is it safe, and will it work? It would be great to use an at home device also for that, and not having to get the IPL treatment professionally.
I have been using the Kenzzi but not consistently. Not for hair removal, because mine in mostly blonde, but age spots on neck, face and hands. The spots have faded a bit. I was thinking of just buying hydroquinone and applying to spots with a Qtip or brush instead.
Hi all, this is not a pile on about Angie, love her recommendations and we are all grownups here - but an FYI that the IPL Device is NOT for use on men's facial hair. I typically research big ticket purchases before buying and didn't see anything on their website about it not working for men's facial hair. I got this for my hubby, and didn't find out until after I received my SmoothSkin Pure device. Their customer service was responsive with my initial questions about the product, but now that I am trying to return it - they are MIA, not returning my emails and they are impossible to reach over the phone. Just thought my experience might be helpful to others.
I love learning about these things, but MAN... I'd go broke if I bought every new item. I bought the Kenzzi - my hair was too light so didn't really work for me, didn't notice a difference on dark spots either but also wasn't super focused on them. Will try the Kenzzi on just my dark spots to see if it has any value here before donating. Really looking for the Morpheus8 video!
Gotta say I’ve been using your body lotion after I saw a video of you recommending it. Unbelievable results. My legs looked like alligator skin. I thought there was no help for them. I was wrong and my skin all over is so incredibly soft now. I wish I had done before and after pics. My boyfriend constantly tells me how soft my skin is. Not bad for a 64 year old…I can’t thank you enough for recommending that lotion. Guess I’ll be trying thing! Fingers crossed for getting rid of age spots and maybe some hair!
So I’ve just been looking at similar devices for sale in the UK. Every single one states Do NOT use on skin that has moles, freckles or ‘beauty marks’. It also states it’s contraindicated for skin cancer- so I’m guessing you have to have a Dr check age spots etc to make sure they are not suspicious before using IPL.
Thanks Angie. I just ordered this, I’ve been on the fence about which one to get for some time. I love the dual results from this one. Take care and thanks for your hard work figuring these devices out for us.
Great look today! I would love more details, as well. How often each week? Do you have to go without shaving the entire time? Or is there just a few days of growth required? Thank you. 🌷
I have two questions. 1) when you use the Alpha glycolic body lotion are you able to use self tanner? Seems counterproductive. 2) If I am more concerned with age spots on my legs could I use my Omnylux one my legs? I know it would take a ton of time but I am curious. Thank you for all your time and research!
I used the Kenzi and I am very pleased with the results! Underarm hair almost completely gone! Most of the darker hair on my legs is gone! I’ve even used it on my upper lip (off label).
@@AngieHotandFlashy this is the first time I’ve ever left a Kenzzi related comment on any of your videos. It is mentioned, that’s why I did. Seems a lot of us feel scammed by Kennzi, by the replies I’m getting.
I'm so sad you didn't find this out before you bought it. I saw a lot of reviews the same as your experience and the comments here back when she made the first video.
I've been wavering on this device for awhile because I'm not great at committing to constant use, but your results convinced me it is worth trying - thanks for the discount!
I wanted to get professional IPL on my chest, but one session is $800. I might try this and even if it doesn’t work on my sun damage, I can definitely use it on my bikini line for the hair removal. So glad I saw this video 💜
Hi. I am just another fan here but I did get an IPL (or was it BBL) and it really helped on my upper chest. I am hearing the BBL is the newer technology and I think it hits more things. Do your research though.
I've used my new SmoothSkin Pure twice so far. I finally ordered it, and an Omnilux mask, after watching your earlier reviews (and catching a really good sale). I'm even more excited now to see what results I get 🥳🤞 Thanks, Angie!
Angie said that since she is not wearing eye protection she doesn't look at the device. I was keeping my eyes closed when using and could still see the flash and feel the zap. I decided to get protective eye goggles when I started doing my face and arm pits. Please, above all, protect your eyes. I got a pair on amazon for less than $15.
I bought the Kenzzi from your past video about age spots on your legs. I did it the full 12 weeks and nothing changed. :( So I doubt I'll buy another one of these. I may give the Kenzzi another try, but I think it's likely best to do this at a med spa instead.
Interesting video! I started using the Alpha 10% body lotion several years ago after you mentioned it and have found nothing better, though I tried a couple of others, Alpha works really well for me, BUT! consistency is the key. Luckily it's made a real difference since budget says No Devices!
No comments on hair removal, I only have to tweeze a few hairs on my legs anymore, they’re so fine and blonde. I just wanted to say that color on you is exquisite! Just gorgeous 🙌🌻
I literally purchased the Kenzii last week. Sad now that I know the SmoothSkin Pure has unlimited flashes/pulses. I'll use the Kenzii til it's used up. But my next purchase will be the SmoothSkin Pure! Thank you for doing these videos
Hi Angie, Thanks so much for this video review and discount code. I decided to buy it as I recently started getting IPL treatment for my extreme dry eye. It has helped tremendously due to the inflammation in your cheeks. Treatments are $500 each so this will save me money and help me with my aging skin as well.
Hi Angie, Love this information as I’ve struggled with spots on my hands for decades. My question: If one can only purchase one device for age spots, would you recommend the Omnilux mitt or this recent hand held device? Many thanks for all you do!
Thank you for your review! I also have wrinkled knees 😢 I have been looking for something that would work. Also, the hair on my legs grows so fast. Will definitely give this a try. Thanks for the code!
Greetings Angie. I looked over ALL the foundations you have tried and reviewed in past video's. If possible, can you test Make Up For Ever Professional Paris HD Skin foundation? I am curious to read or listen to what you think of this product. Thank you. Respectfully, Renee
I actually just received this but have their smaller model the SS Bare and primarily purchased it for use on my face and arm pit area. I’m going to definitely incorporate it on my 56 year old legs and knees! Thanks Angie!
I purchased this product a few weeks ago!!!! I've been a bit nervous about starting use. I had no idea about the antiaging effects, got it for hair reduction. Thank you SO much Angie, you have relieved my fears.
Just ordered this device, watched this video and another one from last April that you talked about the Kenzie and how you noticed changes in brown spots, I just went right to your link and ordered the Pure right away, I'm sooo totally excited. If it just makes the hair diminished I would literally just be over the moon, that's what I'm getting it for, getting rid of brown spots would be a lovely side effect but for me its about the hairs lol. I have an IPL that works ok but i have to pull a trigger for each flash, its really too tedious and too time consuming to keep up with and I have just fallen off the wagon with that one. I have struggled with hair all my life. I'm so excited to get this, its supposed to arrive in 3 days!! I used your code, thank you Angie!!! I just love you and think you are the bees knees. Been following you for years. Love you, thank you!!!! Can't wait to get this!!
Hi Angie, I appreciate the hard work you put into your channel 💕 I too am curious how often you used the device and if you need to keep using it periodically to maintain the results. Thank you.
Wow the new Kenzzi is so much faster to use. I have the old model and I haven't had to use it for about three months now. Whatever leg hair I have is so much finer and really reduced. Your videos are my favorites and have been so helpful!
I love this video, and I did purchase the smooth skin pure device… I’ve had it since January and just haven’t taken the time to use it. However this really motivated me and I started using it and I’m excited to see the results!
@@carole7473 I use their 'neck and dec' on my hands also. Use it every other day. The skin on my hands seems a bit better but I will be getting schlerotherapy to remove some of the veins on my hands, too. One hand at first to see how it looks. Pricey at $1350 plus cost of gloves worn two weeks afterward. Fingers crossed!
I got an IPL from wish for $35 Aussie dollars. The instructions are Chinese though but it’s great so far. I started using it for this also and I’m waiting for the outcome. I love my IPL.
Oh my goodness I was literally thinking earlier today that I wished that you would do an updated IPL device video and/or that I might DM you about whether you were still using the Kenzi. I’ve been in the hospital for the last few days and came home this evening and realized that in just three short days I had practically grown a beard. I almost bought the Kenzie back when you first reviewed it but due to losing my job and a few other things going on in my life I never got around to it. I wish I would’ve seen this a couple of weeks ago to get the discount but I just moved from Georgia to Florida and have been a little busy the last three weeks so I am just now getting caught up on your videos. It’s OK because they still offer a discount for 20% off to new subscribers to their newsletter, but this is a good example of why I can’t miss any of your videos the day that they’re released in the future! I am double checking that the bell icon is clicked now! :) I follow a lot of TH-cam creators who do lifestyle and beauty reviews but I can honestly say that I trust you more than anyone else who does reviews on TH-cam because you are so thorough and show great before and after pics. Thanks for all of the great info and content, Angie! 🌸
I had IPL yesterday for the first time for some spots. It was very expensive. Does this give the same power as the machines in the office? Enjoy all your videos and learn so much.
Ordered!! I had been looking at the Faustina 3-in-1. So glad I saw this review before I ordered it. I will share this with my daughter. 😊 We love your videos Angie! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your honest reviews!! So helpful!
Thank you, Angie. I have had Kenzzi on my long-term wishlist. Glad I didn’t go there. I appreciate your thoroughness and time spent researching along with your before and after pics! You are amazing!
Thank you for the review! I love how thorough you are. I don't know if anyone had a problem, but I ordered through the link and added your discount code. They didn't apply it and charged me the full amount😭 They're phone lines are "closed". They suggest the "online chat service" as well, but there's no link (even when searched for). I emailed them, but I fear they won't receive it until after they send the order and then I'll have to go through the whole refund process (because of the hassle, waste of time and anxiety this is causing, I don't want it from them at all). I suggest ordering from Amazon to anyone who happens to read this.
Thank you so much for the time you commit to the research and demo of products for this industry-claim skeptic! I ordered the Omnilux Face and the Neck/Decollete masks upon your recommendation in December - these have truly been the game-changers in my over-60 skin (and confidence). So I MacGyvered the Omnilux Neck for use on my knees as well, and along with using store-brand adapalene on my knees/legs, I’ve seen a significant difference! And I just ordered the Smoothskin device - thanks for the demo and the code!
Yay, Thank you for this review! I was waiting to hear your thoughts. I spent $100s of dollars to get my underarm hair removed at my dermo office. Absolutely love the results but don’t want to spend that kind of money again for the legs. I’m definitely going to try this out! Thank you!!!
Thank-you so much for this video, was extremely informative, I was wondering if you could do a video on collagen peptides, do they work & what is the best way to take them
I would just like to add that after paying for laser hair removal at the medspa I use my Kenzzi for maintenance a couple times a month and it’s kept me hair free!
Hi Angie: Have you discussed Sculptra on your channel? I have been looking into this but really am more of a fan of topical facial treatments...Skin Tyte/Skin Penn etc....Could you give your thoughts on yet another injection treatment? Thanks a million! :)
If your interested, Domoniqie Sachse just posted yesterday ( Thursday) on sculptra and showed the treatment being done at her dermatologist , and also before and after photos. On her utube channel. It was very informative
Thanks for the video! I bought the Kennzi and once I got it (took a really long time to get to me) I liked it. It did a great job on hair removal and my spots are much lighter, but each session takes a while so I may buy this one for the speed of the pulses. 😬
Ok I’m curious so I ordered one with your coupon code. I heard of the Kenzie but never got one. I’m hoping for the best for my age spots. There’s a 90 day money back guarantee so no commitment. Thanks for keeping up with the latest in anti-aging.
This is an amazing deal. Thank you so much for this video and for the incredible discount code. I just bought it and hope for good results. I have the Tria laser, which cost about $500 years ago. It was a good device, but ran out of battery before I could get one whole leg done, and I had to lift and reposition every time. While it significantly reduced the hair, I really wanted something that glides over the skin and works faster. Thank you, Angie, for your wonderful videos and ability to pass on savings to your viewers.
YES! CurrentBody really came through with a whopper of a discount on this one! I looked at so many other devices before choosing this one and I thought the Tria looked good but like more of a spot treatment... Thanks for sharing your experience with it!
Thank you for all you share with us! I started using the alpha lotion and it changed my skin after only using it a few times!! You mentioned you only use it two or three times a week, just wondering why you don’t use it every day? Also with summer coming, what are your thoughts on using it if I know I will be out in the sun. I’ve gotten really good with wearing sunscreen but just wondering what you do since I know you are outside gardening in the summer.
I've been using the Beamia IPL... taking forevah for any kind of results! Seems to do ok on random hairs but I've not noticed any of the spots getting lighter (but then again, I didn't notice any change in skin tone when I had it done pro at the doctors office either... I may be one of those who is resistant to IPL for spots, but it works for hair removal). I think I'm going to give this one a try. I feel like an ongoing science experiment lol! Thanks!
Thank you for the SmoothSkin IPL review and discount code. It will cost less to buy this device than one IPL treatment by a local service provider. You have just saved me and a lot of your viewers thousands of dollars.
Would 1 ipl device help me with age spots, broken capillaries and facial rejuvenation? or would I be better off buying another one for that. If so, which one and what color flash of light. If anyone can help me with this, I would love to hear from you. I live in Europe. Laser treatments for small veins are very expensive, I already had three at the dermatologist's office but they are not completely gone. So I wondered if I could maintain it at home with such a kind of device. Tips are very welcome....🙂 🙏
Can you please do a deep dive on all of these home IPL devices for hair removal, just like you did for the LED face masks? They are very pricey and it would be nice to have an Angie review, so we can figure out which one would work best for us. I bought the Bosidin hair removal device that also has Skin Rejuvenation technology. The hair removal part does work for me. Not sure if the Skin Rejuvenation portion works as I am also using a skin care regimen similar to yours. Thanks for everything you do. You are one of the best on TH-cam.
Great review, I bought this one for Christmas and find it awkward to hold and press the button - any tips? the reports are really good for this one as to lots more flashes per minute 100+ vs 40? (see their video) and works on face and body so worth a bit extra.
Thank you so much for this review and coupon code! Do you know if you need to get separate eye protection glasses when purchasing it? I didn't see eye protection for sale from the company, but maybe I missed it.
Hi Angie! Thank you so much and happy Friday! I'm wondering, can't you just do another treatment round to further reduce the age spots? 🤔 The results were impressive!
Yes! I'm going to continue with it and see if I can improve on the results but wanted to get the video out (so many people waiting for this one)!! Also, since age spot reduction is off label use, the instructions are really for hair removal not spot removal.
So… I have a question. I have VERY light hair and fair skin. Not really interested in the hair removal aspect. But, could I still use this for spots and knee wrinkles? That would be so great! By the way, as always a very interesting video.
Could you please review the "Nira" laser? Of course it looks like it performs amazing, but really want your opinion before I buy! I have the omnilux, and love it and wondering if this would be a bonus or a hinder to my skin care. Thank you for all you do!!
I am one of those who have been waiting for this review. Just ordered a SmoothSkin Pure even before I watched your entire video. Thanks for the info and thanks for sharing your results.
@@AngieHotandFlashy Thank you. I plan on using it for brown spots on my legs, because I am one of the lucky few that does not have hair on my legs. It just stopped growing when I was in my late 20's.
Hi Angie, does this help for anti aging on the face and chest the way an in office IPL treatment would? I was thinking that if it tightened up leg wrinkles it might be good around the lower face for tightening.
4.30.22 - Hello Hot and Flashy. Can you possibly do a review on Embr Wave? It's a bracelet that is worn to keep you cool or to warm you up. Not sure if you experience Hot Flashes, but people are wondering if it helps with that. I cannot find any reviews on the device from people that are actually having hot flashes. Hopefully you can try it out and do a video. Thanks.
Thank you so much for all your great and informative videos. I don't know much about at home hair removal. Is this permanent after 12 weeks? Can you use it on the bikini line? Also, do you have any videos for good body washes and routines for maintaining nice looking skin on our lets, arms, etc.? Thank you!
Happy Friday Everyone! Just wanted to answer some of the most common questions I'm getting...
1. Can this be used on the: face, hands, neck, bikini area, chest, arms? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes & yes! My experience is that the skin on different areas is thinner/thicker/more or less sensitive so keep that in mind when treating these other areas and start with the gentle setting if in doubt.
2. Is hair removal/spot removal permanent? Some will be and some won't... on hair the darker the hair the more effectively this will "kill" the follicle with consistent use. Some follicles will become damaged but still grow hair that will likely be thinner than before. After the 1st 12 weeks some monthly maintenance may be required. Age spots will be removed or reduced depending on the spot. If you don't protect your skin from the sun the spots will come back. Again, some maintenance may be required.
3. Will this work on skin with spots but with blonde/grey hair? Yes, the device will target the spots. I used it on my thighs where I don't shave & have vellus (fine blonde) hair. It removed the spots I treated there.
4. Do you shave to use this on hair or should it be grown out? You shave prior to using IPL devices.
5. How many times a week do I use the device? The instructions are to use the device once a week for 12 consecutive weeks for best results. Different hair follicles will be in different stages of the growth cycle each week. Some will be growing, some will be shedding, and some will be dormant. With this cycle only some follicles will have a visible (to the device) hair in the follicle during each treatment. So doing a weekly treatment for 12 weeks you should be able to get all of the follicles during the growth phase.
6. Can this be used/will it work on broken capillaries or is there an at-home device for that? No, this won't work on broken capillaries or veins. Even most in-office lasers don't remove broken capillaries. There are 2 in-office lasers that really do a good job (V-beam & pulsed dye lasers) and I doubt there'll be a home device coming any time soon...
Hope that helps!
BEWARE OF THE RETURN POLICY FOR CURRENTBODY! If the item is used it cannot be returned. I bought the face and neck mask and used it once. It hurt my nose and had only one strap so the chin area was approximately 2.5" from my face. CurrentBody WILL NOT ACCEPT RETURNS IF USED.

Hilarious! 😂😂😂
I would like to know the full comparison as well, as I also have the Kenzi, specifically in regards to age/dark spots. Also, comparison of specs. Thanks!
Yes please Angie...side by side comparison, since a lot of us bought the KENZZI on your recommendation
@@menarobertson84 Exactly. Kind of annoying since she sold so many Kenzzi and then never spoke of them again, and now a new one for us to buy🥴. The Kenzzi also has a new version that looks and sounds just like this one. Would like that added into the comparison equation also.
If you already have the Kenzzi and are happy with it then you don't need another device.
I personally love Braun’s IPL device, which is also FDA approved. It truly reduced my hair growth significantly. I just want to warn anyone who goes in the sun that these devices leave your skin very sensitive.

I’m in my early 50’s and got these white spots a couple of years ago after going into the sun with no protection. It’s like de-pigmented skin. They haven’t gone away.
The code still works and I paid $265 US. Thank you Angie. You are the greatest!!
I just checked it, and it does work as of today!! YAY!
The body lotion you mentioned…alpha renewal is absolutely the bomb! I am 62 and my skin is sooooo amazing now. I use it everyday twice a day. The best!!!!!
What exactly did you use? I have these ugly spots that don't really look like brown age spots on my lower legs and I hate them. Along with a ugly scar on one and acne scars on my face.
Southern Charm - Wow!, 2x a day...good to know. Angie said she uses 2-3x a week, I think.
@@barbarafairbanks4578 Are you referring to the alpha repair lotion? I use it regularly and love it. They also make a body wash thats wonderful to. But I am curious because the lotion as well as the body wash has glycolic aha in it should I stop using during the summer months? Would love some feedback. Thanks
I have been using the Braun silk pro number five IPL device on my age spots. Used it on the highest setting one week ago. Also using Retin-A three times a week. My most stubborn age spot is beginning to peel off!
Hi SW, was this on your face? Thinking of getting the Braun. Thank you.
I have darker skin with sun spots on my face . Light/heat can cause rebound hyperpigmentation , so I pass on any light /heat devices and focus use of topicals on my face .
Are you still using this and if so have you noticed anymore of a difference with age spots and knees wrinkles? I've learned so much from you fyi! Thank you so so much! ❤
Has anyone used this on their upper lip for hair and wrinkles?
Angie you are the best reviewer and so incredibly thorough and honest. Thank you for your help!
Same question. Worried about hyperpigmention if used on the upper lip or chin.
I just purchased the pure IPL device & I'm so excited to get started. THANK YOU Angie for all your research, trials & information. I am 52 & didnt know anything about truly taking care of my skin until I found your videos! Your information is transforming my skin, makeup & overall confidence again.
Hi Angie! Can it be used on your face for age spots? And how long is each treatment? Did you get any scabbing like you would a professional IPL session?
I religiously used kenzi (fair Irish skin) and it did nothing for my dark spots whatsoever unfortunately . Angie! You look positively radiant today💕🥰🌷
I had really good results with the Kenzi for both hair and skin and feel like it changed my life. But....it is time consuming and I would break up sessions, i.e. upper leg on Tuesday, lower leg on Thursday. I love that my legs looks so much smoother and less of that "plucked chicken" texture. When I have the $$, I might try this device, because it seems to have more features, and again...time is a factor. Thank you for recommending this. (You wouldn't believe how often I find myself quoting "Angie from Hot and Flashy".)
I love everything think about you, have been following you since day one, I'm the one that's in the background who never comment. I share and recommend your videos to everyone I care about. Your so genuine, like million of other women I want to be you...
That's lovely Murielle!
Angie, you look younger and younger at every video, your hair is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing all your discoveries.❤
Thank you so much Marta! 😘
That’s what I was thinking,,,,,hmmm 🤔
@@Robin-gf7bd Good lighting is key, in addition to skin care
I have the Braun Pro 5. It is honestly the one thing I recommend to literally everyone. Not having to shave anymore is life changing.
I was looking at that one!
Wow! Such a difference! Thank you for the video! I wonder if this device can be used for broken capillaries/spider vains on the face? Is it safe, and will it work? It would be great to use an at home device also for that, and not having to get the IPL treatment professionally.
I have been using the Kenzzi but not consistently. Not for hair removal, because mine in mostly blonde, but age spots on neck, face and hands. The spots have faded a bit. I was thinking of just buying hydroquinone and applying to spots with a Qtip or brush instead.
Hi all, this is not a pile on about Angie, love her recommendations and we are all grownups here - but an FYI that the IPL Device is NOT for use on men's facial hair. I typically research big ticket purchases before buying and didn't see anything on their website about it not working for men's facial hair.
I got this for my hubby, and didn't find out until after I received my SmoothSkin Pure device. Their customer service was responsive with my initial questions about the product, but now that I am trying to return it - they are MIA, not returning my emails and they are impossible to reach over the phone. Just thought my experience might be helpful to others.
I bought the Monsia Silk Series Pro for hair removal and did not know it also worked for dark spots, and yes it does, so nice added benefit.
I love learning about these things, but MAN... I'd go broke if I bought every new item. I bought the Kenzzi - my hair was too light so didn't really work for me, didn't notice a difference on dark spots either but also wasn't super focused on them. Will try the Kenzzi on just my dark spots to see if it has any value here before donating. Really looking for the Morpheus8 video!
Gotta say I’ve been using your body lotion after I saw a video of you recommending it. Unbelievable results. My legs looked like alligator skin. I thought there was no help for them. I was wrong and my skin all over is so incredibly soft now. I wish I had done before and after pics. My boyfriend constantly tells me how soft my skin is. Not bad for a 64 year old…I can’t thank you enough for recommending that lotion. Guess I’ll be trying thing! Fingers crossed for getting rid of age spots and maybe some hair!
I bought the Kenzii and love it… still working well on hair and age spot reduction.
I bought the Kenzi, too, but I haven’t been consistent. 🤦♀️ This gives me hope to try again!
So I’ve just been looking at similar devices for sale in the UK. Every single one states Do NOT use on skin that has moles, freckles or ‘beauty marks’. It also states it’s contraindicated for skin cancer- so I’m guessing you have to have a Dr check age spots etc to make sure they are not suspicious before using IPL.
Thanks Angie. I just ordered this, I’ve been on the fence about which one to get for some time. I love the dual results from this one. Take care and thanks for your hard work figuring these devices out for us.
Great look today! I would love more details, as well. How often each week? Do you have to go without shaving the entire time? Or is there just a few days of growth required? Thank you. 🌷
I have two questions. 1) when you use the Alpha glycolic body lotion are you able to use self tanner? Seems counterproductive. 2) If I am more concerned with age spots on my legs could I use my Omnylux one my legs? I know it would take a ton of time but I am curious. Thank you for all your time and research!
I used the Kenzi and I am very pleased with the results! Underarm hair almost completely gone! Most of the darker hair on my legs is gone! I’ve even used it on my upper lip (off label).
Kennzi didn’t work for me, and I found out the hard way their “money back guarantee” is not so. Buyer beware!
Same here! But I recently got the same device as Angie is showing here, have been using it for the past two months, and it is working great!
Me too! They said - sorry, we can’t help you out.
Me too! Now I’m just using the Kenzi to reduce sunspots.
@@AngieHotandFlashy this is the first time I’ve ever left a Kenzzi related comment on any of your videos. It is mentioned, that’s why I did. Seems a lot of us feel scammed by Kennzi, by the replies I’m getting.
I'm so sad you didn't find this out before you bought it. I saw a lot of reviews the same as your experience and the comments here back when she made the first video.
I've been wavering on this device for awhile because I'm not great at committing to constant use, but your results convinced me it is worth trying - thanks for the discount!
I wanted to get professional IPL on my chest, but one session is $800. I might try this and even if it doesn’t work on my sun damage, I can definitely use it on my bikini line for the hair removal. So glad I saw this video 💜
Let me know how that goes!!
Hi. I am just another fan here but I did get an IPL (or was it BBL) and it really helped on my upper chest. I am hearing the BBL is the newer technology and I think it hits more things. Do your research though.
The NuFace really helped my spots and also Heritage brand rose water with my CeraVe PM moisturizer.
I just bought the omnibus mask for my birthday present to myself. Now I want this too! I love skin tools!
Me too! Latest and greatest gadget girls!
I've used my new SmoothSkin Pure twice so far. I finally ordered it, and an Omnilux mask, after watching your earlier reviews (and catching a really good sale). I'm even more excited now to see what results I get 🥳🤞 Thanks, Angie!
Hi - I love your videos. I am confused about one thing, how does this compare to Kenzie, which you had previously recommended? Thanks.
Angie said that since she is not wearing eye protection she doesn't look at the device. I was keeping my eyes closed when using and could still see the flash and feel the zap. I decided to get protective eye goggles when I started doing my face and arm pits. Please, above all, protect your eyes. I got a pair on amazon for less than $15.
I bought the Kenzzi from your past video about age spots on your legs. I did it the full 12 weeks and nothing changed. :( So I doubt I'll buy another one of these. I may give the Kenzzi another try, but I think it's likely best to do this at a med spa instead.
Interesting video! I started using the Alpha 10% body lotion several years ago after you mentioned it and have found nothing better, though I tried a couple of others, Alpha works really well for me, BUT! consistency is the key. Luckily it's made a real difference since budget says No Devices!
No comments on hair removal, I only have to tweeze a few hairs on my legs anymore, they’re so fine and blonde. I just wanted to say that color on you is exquisite! Just gorgeous 🙌🌻
I literally purchased the Kenzii last week. Sad now that I know the SmoothSkin Pure has unlimited flashes/pulses. I'll use the Kenzii til it's used up. But my next purchase will be the SmoothSkin Pure! Thank you for doing these videos
Hi Angie! Thank you for all the great skin, beauty, and fashion tips! Always amazing and very detailed information!
Thank you Shannon! Happy Friday! 💕
Hi Angie, Thanks so much for this video review and discount code. I decided to buy it as I recently started getting IPL treatment for my extreme dry eye. It has helped tremendously due to the inflammation in your cheeks. Treatments are $500 each so this will save me money and help me with my aging skin as well.
Always love your skin care red light therapy videos. Thank you for being here.
Hi Angie,
Love this information as I’ve struggled with spots on my hands for decades. My question: If one can only purchase one device for age spots, would you recommend the Omnilux mitt or this recent hand held device? Many thanks for all you do!
Thank you for your review! I also have wrinkled knees 😢 I have been looking for something that would work. Also, the hair on my legs grows so fast. Will definitely give this a try. Thanks for the code!
Greetings Angie. I looked over ALL the foundations you have tried and reviewed in past video's. If possible, can you test Make Up For Ever Professional Paris HD Skin foundation? I am curious to read or listen to what you think of this product. Thank you. Respectfully, Renee
I actually just received this but have their smaller model the SS Bare and primarily purchased it for use on my face and arm pit area. I’m going to definitely incorporate it on my 56 year old legs and knees! Thanks Angie!
I am gonna give this one a try. I have the kenzii and haven’t been that happy with it. I hope this one is better for those sun spots too.
thank you Angie for another great video❤ Do you know if this effects self Tanner ?
I purchased this product a few weeks ago!!!! I've been a bit nervous about starting use. I had no idea about the antiaging effects, got it for hair reduction. Thank you SO much Angie, you have relieved my fears.
Just ordered this device, watched this video and another one from last April that you talked about the Kenzie and how you noticed changes in brown spots, I just went right to your link and ordered the Pure right away, I'm sooo totally excited. If it just makes the hair diminished I would literally just be over the moon, that's what I'm getting it for, getting rid of brown spots would be a lovely side effect but for me its about the hairs lol. I have an IPL that works ok but i have to pull a trigger for each flash, its really too tedious and too time consuming to keep up with and I have just fallen off the wagon with that one. I have struggled with hair all my life. I'm so excited to get this, its supposed to arrive in 3 days!! I used your code, thank you Angie!!! I just love you and think you are the bees knees. Been following you for years. Love you, thank you!!!! Can't wait to get this!!
Hi, is the device working on the brown spots?
Hi Angie, I appreciate the hard work you put into your channel 💕 I too am curious how often you used the device and if you need to keep using it periodically to maintain the results. Thank you.
OMG! I literally forgot I bought one for my legs and haven’t used it. Thanks so much!
Wow the new Kenzzi is so much faster to use. I have the old model and I haven't had to use it for about three months now. Whatever leg hair I have is so much finer and really reduced. Your videos are my favorites and have been so helpful!
Hi Angie,
Would you say it’s safe to use on the face?
I love this video, and I did purchase the smooth skin pure device… I’ve had it since January and just haven’t taken the time to use it. However this really motivated me and I started using it and I’m excited to see the results!
I really love the results. How often do you have to use it for 12 traitments? Once a week, once every two weeks? Just for info. Thank you.
You should try the Omnilux hand mask. I believe they also have a Mother's Day sale going on. Or get the neck and decollete and lay it on your hands.
Once a week.
@@carole7473 I use their 'neck and dec' on my hands also. Use it every other day. The skin on my hands seems a bit better but I will be getting schlerotherapy to remove some of the veins on my hands, too. One hand at first to see how it looks. Pricey at $1350 plus cost of gloves worn two weeks afterward. Fingers crossed!
Thanks Angie! How do you think this device compares to the Kenzi?
I got an IPL from wish for $35 Aussie dollars. The instructions are Chinese though but it’s great so far. I started using it for this also and I’m waiting for the outcome. I love my IPL.
Oh my goodness I was literally thinking earlier today that I wished that you would do an updated IPL device video and/or that I might DM you about whether you were still using the Kenzi. I’ve been in the hospital for the last few days and came home this evening and realized that in just three short days I had practically grown a beard. I almost bought the Kenzie back when you first reviewed it but due to losing my job and a few other things going on in my life I never got around to it. I wish I would’ve seen this a couple of weeks ago to get the discount but I just moved from Georgia to Florida and have been a little busy the last three weeks so I am just now getting caught up on your videos. It’s OK because they still offer a discount for 20% off to new subscribers to their newsletter, but this is a good example of why I can’t miss any of your videos the day that they’re released in the future! I am double checking that the bell icon is clicked now! :) I follow a lot of TH-cam creators who do lifestyle and beauty reviews but I can honestly say that I trust you more than anyone else who does reviews on TH-cam because you are so thorough and show great before and after pics. Thanks for all of the great info and content, Angie! 🌸
Would you recommend this over the OmniLux mask? Love your channel!
I had IPL yesterday for the first time for some spots. It was very expensive. Does this give the same power as the machines in the office? Enjoy all your videos and learn so much.
Hi Angie. Have you reviewed any at home device to reduce spider veins? Thank you!
Ordered!! I had been looking at the Faustina 3-in-1. So glad I saw this review before I ordered it. I will share this with my daughter. 😊 We love your videos Angie! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your honest reviews!! So helpful!
Lol...same. been eyeing up Faustina as well. Just put in my order for this guy. So excited!
Have either is you seen any results in regards to age spots during the month of usage?
THank you Angie!!!! Can you use this on your face for age spot removal?…thanks,
Thank you, Angie. I have had Kenzzi on my long-term wishlist. Glad I didn’t go there. I appreciate your thoroughness and time spent researching along with your before and after pics! You are amazing!
Thank you for the review! I love how thorough you are. I don't know if anyone had a problem, but I ordered through the link and added your discount code. They didn't apply it and charged me the full amount😭 They're phone lines are "closed". They suggest the "online chat service" as well, but there's no link (even when searched for). I emailed them, but I fear they won't receive it until after they send the order and then I'll have to go through the whole refund process (because of the hassle, waste of time and anxiety this is causing, I don't want it from them at all). I suggest ordering from Amazon to anyone who happens to read this.
Thank you so much for the time you commit to the research and demo of products for this industry-claim skeptic! I ordered the Omnilux Face and the Neck/Decollete masks upon your recommendation in December - these have truly been the game-changers in my over-60 skin (and confidence). So I MacGyvered the Omnilux Neck for use on my knees as well, and along with using store-brand adapalene on my knees/legs, I’ve seen a significant difference! And I just ordered the Smoothskin device - thanks for the demo and the code!
Has the smoothskin device helped with your knees and sunspots?
Yay, Thank you for this review! I was waiting to hear your thoughts. I spent $100s of dollars to get my underarm hair removed at my dermo office. Absolutely love the results but don’t want to spend that kind of money again for the legs. I’m definitely going to try this out! Thank you!!!
Thank-you so much for this video, was extremely informative, I was wondering if you could do a video on collagen peptides, do they work & what is the best way to take them
Hi Angie! I was about to order the Kennzie when I watched your review. I ordered one today and used the discount. Thank you so much.
I would just like to add that after paying for laser hair removal at the medspa I use my Kenzzi for maintenance a couple times a month and it’s kept me hair free!
Hi Angie: Have you discussed Sculptra on your channel? I have been looking into this but really am more of a fan of topical facial treatments...Skin Tyte/Skin Penn etc....Could you give your thoughts on yet another injection treatment? Thanks a million! :)
If your interested, Domoniqie Sachse just posted yesterday ( Thursday) on sculptra and showed the treatment being done at her dermatologist , and also before and after photos. On her utube channel. It was very informative
Thanks for the video! I bought the Kennzi and once I got it (took a really long time to get to me) I liked it. It did a great job on hair removal and my spots are much lighter, but each session takes a while so I may buy this one for the speed of the pulses. 😬
Thank you for the cupon code. It worked. Can't wait to start using the product.
I got the less fancy version of this one based on your previous video and think it is great! Thanks for giving awesome ecommendations!!
I just ordered the led mask! So excited. Wanna try this next! I have a kenzi knock off that works but not great.
Ok I’m curious so I ordered one with your coupon code. I heard of the Kenzie but never got one. I’m hoping for the best for my age spots. There’s a 90 day money back guarantee so no commitment. Thanks for keeping up with the latest in anti-aging.
I have been dying to know how to treat spots on my legs! Thank you.
This is an amazing deal. Thank you so much for this video and for the incredible discount code. I just bought it and hope for good results. I have the Tria laser, which cost about $500 years ago. It was a good device, but ran out of battery before I could get one whole leg done, and I had to lift and reposition every time. While it significantly reduced the hair, I really wanted something that glides over the skin and works faster. Thank you, Angie, for your wonderful videos and ability to pass on savings to your viewers.
I agree, great deal! This looks so much more convenient than the Tria
YES! CurrentBody really came through with a whopper of a discount on this one! I looked at so many other devices before choosing this one and I thought the Tria looked good but like more of a spot treatment... Thanks for sharing your experience with it!
Angie, where do you personally use this device besides legs? Arms? Décolleté? Face? And how often?
I've recently started using it on my arms (for spots) & under arms (for hair). I stick to once a week for each area.
Thank you for all you share with us! I started using the alpha lotion and it changed my skin after only using it a few times!! You mentioned you only use it two or three times a week, just wondering why you don’t use it every day? Also with summer coming, what are your thoughts on using it if I know I will be out in the sun. I’ve gotten really good with wearing sunscreen but just wondering what you do since I know you are outside gardening in the summer.
I've been using the Beamia IPL... taking forevah for any kind of results! Seems to do ok on random hairs but I've not noticed any of the spots getting lighter (but then again, I didn't notice any change in skin tone when I had it done pro at the doctors office either... I may be one of those who is resistant to IPL for spots, but it works for hair removal). I think I'm going to give this one a try. I feel like an ongoing science experiment lol! Thanks!
Thank you for the SmoothSkin IPL review and discount code. It will cost less to buy this device than one IPL treatment by a local service provider. You have just saved me and a lot of your viewers thousands of dollars.
Have you tried the Soma Vanishing edge microfiber panties? I like them better than the Natori ones.
Would 1 ipl device help me with age spots, broken capillaries and facial rejuvenation? or would I be better off buying another one for that. If so, which one and what color flash of light. If anyone can help me with this, I would love to hear from you. I live in Europe. Laser treatments for small veins are very expensive, I already had three at the dermatologist's office but they are not completely gone. So I wondered if I could maintain it at home with such a kind of device. Tips are very welcome....🙂 🙏
Can you please do a deep dive on all of these home IPL devices for hair removal, just like you did for the LED face masks? They are very pricey and it would be nice to have an Angie review, so we can figure out which one would work best for us.
I bought the Bosidin hair removal device that also has Skin Rejuvenation technology. The hair removal part does work for me. Not sure if the Skin Rejuvenation portion works as I am also using a skin care regimen similar to yours.
Thanks for everything you do. You are one of the best on TH-cam.
Great review, I bought this one for Christmas and find it awkward to hold and press the button - any tips? the reports are really good for this one as to lots more flashes per minute 100+ vs 40? (see their video) and works on face and body so worth a bit extra.
Thank you so much for this review and coupon code! Do you know if you need to get separate eye protection glasses when purchasing it? I didn't see eye protection for sale from the company, but maybe I missed it.
Angie! Your skin is beautiful and glowing! Love your channel! God bless.
Hi Angie! Thank you so much and happy Friday! I'm wondering, can't you just do another treatment round to further reduce the age spots? 🤔 The results were impressive!
Yes! I'm going to continue with it and see if I can improve on the results but wanted to get the video out (so many people waiting for this one)!! Also, since age spot reduction is off label use, the instructions are really for hair removal not spot removal.
So… I have a question. I have VERY light hair and fair skin. Not really interested in the hair removal aspect. But, could I still use this for spots and knee wrinkles? That would be so great! By the way, as always a very interesting video.
Yes. My thigh hair is vellus hair (soft & colorless) so it ignores the hair follicles & focuses on the spots.
Could you please review the "Nira" laser? Of course it looks like it performs amazing, but really want your opinion before I buy! I have the omnilux, and love it and wondering if this would be a bonus or a hinder to my skin care. Thank you for all you do!!
I am one of those who have been waiting for this review. Just ordered a SmoothSkin Pure even before I watched your entire video. Thanks for the info and thanks for sharing your results.
I hope you have great results with it!
@@AngieHotandFlashy Thank you. I plan on using it for brown spots on my legs, because I am one of the lucky few that does not have hair on my legs. It just stopped growing when I was in my late 20's.
Hi Angie, does this help for anti aging on the face and chest the way an in office IPL treatment would? I was thinking that if it tightened up leg wrinkles it might be good around the lower face for tightening.
I would like to know also. Can this be used successfully on the face. I have the Faustina, but I don't think it does that much on the face.
4.30.22 - Hello Hot and Flashy. Can you possibly do a review on Embr Wave? It's a bracelet that is worn to keep you cool or to warm you up. Not sure if you experience Hot Flashes, but people are wondering if it helps with that. I cannot find any reviews on the device from people that are actually having hot flashes. Hopefully you can try it out and do a video. Thanks.
Wow! Very noticeable results 👏🏼 This has me very interested in trying the device! Thx Angie 😘
Amazing results Angie. Very impressive. Checking it out now!
Thank you so much for all your great and informative videos. I don't know much about at home hair removal. Is this permanent after 12 weeks? Can you use it on the bikini line? Also, do you have any videos for good body washes and routines for maintaining nice looking skin on our lets, arms, etc.? Thank you!
