- I used the JOVS Venus Pro for 2 months | laser hair removal results!
In this video, I talk about using the JOVS Venus Pro for 2 months, how it works, my results, (before and after) my experience using it, and my experience with their customer service. I had really high hopes for the JOVS Venus Pro as a laser hair removal device, but unfortunately I was very disappointed by my results, which leaves me wondering, is this a scam? Thanks for watching!

- ABOUT ME --
I am Kathy, a stay at home mom of two currently living in Idaho. I make videos about style and beauty and trying new things! My body has gone through a lot having two babies in three years, so I'm on this journey to figure out what physically fits my body and what style of clothing and makeup fits my personality as well. I'm excited to have you join me!
Also, just for reference, I am 5’ 8” and around 140 lbs. ☺️
I wish every review would be this thorough and honest like yours.
You are the best!
Thank you a lot!!!
Aw thank you! I’m glad it was helpful! 💜
You saved me from buying this product! I Also have thick hair and I was skeptical as to how fast this would work and watching your video really gave me the confirmation not to get it, thank you!!
I’m glad it was helpful!! I hope you find something that works - I’m still looking! ☺️
It works for me. Highest level 2-3 times a week and I see it's growing slower and thinner. Gotta use it more and more consistently
...and what makes it worse are the people who work for the company that come in and blame HER that it doesn't work. You did good: save your money. My wife and I both wished it had worked, too.
@@arig9833 I'm south American my hair is as thick as my roots. I'm glad it worked out for you though
Have you found a device for thick hair yet? I’m also looking! Thanks!
First off, laser and IPL are not the same. Laser targets the hair follicle specifically because of the light frequency, they are very expensive and less damaging for the surrounding skin. IPL is like entering a chicken coop with a machine-gun, it's not really specific for the hair follicle, it affects the surrounding skin as well, and doesn't go as deep (which sure, can help with capillaries and pigmentation, but if you have deep hair follicles... not so much). If your hair roots are just 1mm too deep (sometimes I feel like my leg hair grows all the way from my bones) , IPL isn't going to do much. That besides the fact that they're all underpowering their devices to make them safe for at home use. I'd suggest Profesional laser treatment first, and using this, or some similar device for maintenance.
Your videos are the first one coming on TH-cam... your channel is about to boom! 💥
Thanks for watching!!
thank you for your honesty!!
Of course!
Thank you for saving me the purchase! I have thick, dark hair and naturally tan-olive skin; so I doubt this would have worked on me either.
Happy to help! 💜
Thank you! I was seconds away from buying this
Glad to help!! ❤️
I wonder why there's so much variation in the results between different people...I was kicking myself for buying it right before watching your review, but now I'm on week 3 and relieved that I apparently got lucky! My armpit stubble used to get very prickly and uncomfortable, now it's patchy and the hairs are too fine and soft to stab me. Honestly worth it just to not feel like I've got hedgehogs buried in my armpits every few days lmao. Haven't tried my legs yet though.
That’s interesting! Well I’m glad it seems to be working for you! 💜
Thank you for the honest review. 👍
You’re so welcome!
Have you try the jovs X? Has a difrent type of light source Venus pro is opt and the new jovs x is with DpL anyone has a review of this jovs x?
I‘m Using the Philips Lumea Prestige (around same pricepoint) they give you completely different instructions (to start you use it every 2 weeks) and I saw first results literallyafter the first treatment! highly recommend it
I’m glad to hear it’s working for you!!
I appreciate this so much. I was looking at it for skin, but am a bit offput by how poorly written so many things are. When searching on youtube it definitely seems like they bought off some youtubers with their newest device.
I’m glad it was helpful! 💜
Thanks you for your review!
Have you found a better one?!🙄
You’re welcome! And I have not. 😞 I reviewed one other device and I also did not get the results I was hoping for with that one.
Hi! I had the same experience. I bought this device two months ago, and after 7 weeks of use I had no result at all!! I've got fair skin and dark-brown hair. I used it following the instructions "religiously", at the maximum level, over my legs, armpits, bikini and face. I can hardly believe it did absolutely NOTHING! Not a single hair has gone or slowed its regrowth! 😭
I’m so sad to hear you had the same experience as me! I was so hopeful it would work, and I was so disappointed. 😕
Level 6 armpit setting? Try pulsing it several times on the same spot, and gliding it over the skin not missing a spot, it takes a lot of use to clear the hair if its the same as the bosidin ive got, im a man and its worked.
Yes, it's the same as Bosidin. I've always used level 6, everywhere, and now I'm starting the fifth month of use (I'm pretty persistent...). I'll try to follow your advice, applying only the armpit setting on arms and legs. How long did it take you to see the first results?
@@ilariaadami5959 I've been using it for 3 years, just after id already done laser so it was just to keep me smooth, but because it was a home device, i done my legs, forearms, everywhere, that i didnt want to pay for laser for. What i noticed straight away was it took a while for hair to grow, then the forearms i literally lost 50 percent in the first session, but it was a little bit patchy in some areas so i never done it again, until now, where ive done 4 sessions in the past 4,5 weeks, and its about 75 percent clear, but there are little areas where the hair is just stubborn. But its a great device, after a course of laser, to keep you clear, without having to go back just for touch ups, theres a part on my side shoulder that it wont clear, and the chest it just keeps it sparse, done legs yest, only second, time, i dont want completely hairless legs, first session got rid of 50 percent id say so i just was kinda happy with that, i found lifting the device between zaps didnt work, your letting the light out, you need no gaps between the device and the skin, hope that helps.
Hello! Do you think it helped fade dark spots/hyperpigmentation or no? 🙏🏼
Thanks!
Hi! I didn’t notice any fading. Thanks for watching!
Maybe because it OPT not IPL 🤷♂️ Is that the new ine thats 24J max output 60watt? Try the Megelin 23J or Jovs X 23.87J
If its just bosidin rebranded which i think it is, it works wonders on some parts of the body, not so well on others.
It does seem to be a rebranded Bosidin.
According to the Jovs website, they made the same model specifically for the Bosidin brand. Same product, same manufacturer, different brand names.
Is it the same as the bosidin laser ?
I don't know for sure. They look the same, but that doesn't mean they're the same?
Yes, it's the same. The Bosidin does not work, either.
@@fattydoodoo5234 It doesn't? Its cleared 90 percent of the hair on my body, and im a man, it doesnt work great on legs or chest, or side parts of the shoulders but everywhere else is clear.....try level 6, and underarms, its the strongest setting, any other settings dont really work.
Can remove scars
Only 2 months will not show much results. It depends on the person but some people take them 3 to 8 months. So continue using it.
I have it and been using it for a month, highest setting about 2-3 times a week and definitely see it's growing slower and thinner 🥰
Keep using it more consistently and don't expect quick result. It will work 💕good luck
Thank you for the encouragement! Maybe I will get it back out. 🙃
@@fattydoodoo5234 like op said, 2 months is not enough. Depending on the person, even in-clinic treatments will show very little results in that short of time.
Whether it's laser or electrolysis, both work by targeting the hair during the growing phase. Unfortunately there's no way to tell what phase your hair is currently in. Which is why most treatments are spaced out every 2 weeks in hopes that they can catch the hair during the anagen phase.
IPL is also not laser, a lot of people get the two confused because companies will use the word laser when they are selling an IPL.
IPL is a broad spectrum of light that is weaker and often takes way more sessions especially with at home devices. Laser is a concentrated form of light that is much stronger. Legally, no company can sell the general public a laser or ipl device with the same strength as the ones used in clinics. People are dumb and there'd be a lot of lawsuits.
As for it not being permanent, this solely depends on each individual. There are people that see permanent results with laser and then there's people that experience hair regrowth months later. What they don't tell you is that those people (usually women) either suffer from pcos in which case laser will not be permanent or they're pregnant which has caused hormonal fluctuations.
@@fattydoodoo5234 I use the Philips Lumia, it works amazingly
@@fattydoodoo5234 want to say 10000000x thank you. your reply saves me.
It's an IPL meaning it's not permanent hair removal. It's temporary
You also saved me from purchasing this.
Thank you.🎉
Glad it was helpful! 💜
I have this device I just wanna start to using it, I will inform the result after six weeks.
Sometimes The product we order coming fake that’s why you don’t see a good result .just be aware..I had that problem with Dyson Airwap.
Yes please let me know!!
And?
And?
And?
Sorry about very delayed response, it is good, I don’t have any more hair on my legs, I started with highest (6) number..
Thank you 🙏
you're welcome! 😊
wish i saw this before buying :(
no difference for me either
Sad day. 😞 How long did you use it for?
Have you tried any other IPL device that does work?
I haven’t tried any other ones. I’m too nervous to spend the money on another one with the potential it won’t work also. 😬
@@KathySanthouse Actually, I used an IPL device from Braun around 1 or 1,5 years long. It was 6 years ago. Since 4-5 years, I am not using it,. They work. They take a lot of time too, but you only have to use it like once a month. It is also painfull, not as much as salon treatments but stil, especially on some parts of the body, bikini area, etc. You see hairs falling off. And it also slows down regrowth. But ligth brown hairs are not usually affected and also some of the hair come back after stop using.
I saw a big difference between the leg photos, did anyone else? Maybe your expectations were extremely high?
Very sad. Well, but now you have an experience. :)
😂
I got rid of all my leg hairs with the Jovs ! Amazing how different it works in different people
I’m glad it worked for you!! 💜
OMG, what a load of B.S. - Pix or it didn't happen.
How long did you take to get rid all? All even if i go to skin care centre to do the laser treatment, i spent almost 12months to have the effect of permanent clear.
You have to remove the SR attachment!! That might be the reason it didn’t work
What’s that? The attachment head?
@@KathySanthouse yes, the attachment head for SR which is for skin rejuvenation, you were doing it without removing it in the video, it happened to me the first two times too then I realized and I took it off and I’m seeing good results now 👍
@@carlosa9808 ohhh! I wasn’t using the SR attachment. I was using the other attachments for specific parts of the body. ☺️
@@KathySanthouse Try it on level 6 and without any attachment head. I used it on my chest with the underarm mode and it is safe.
@@carlosa9808 interesting. Maybe I’ll give it a try!
The reason you all come on, it didnt work is because you had it on level 1, then maybe a month later oh ill try level 2....just put it straight to level 6, underarms setting, the strongest setting, its a home device, its never going to have the power of a salon one, so straight to maximum, cleared me and im a man, works ok on legs, excellent on back, stomach, arms, places its not as effective are chest, side shoulders. If it works on me it works on you, dont move the head slide it, a few mm at a time, to trap the light, this is why you use gel, the reason it doesnt work on most of you is improper use, you have no idea what you're doing, its an ipl machine so lets say an area the size of your iphone, that should have around 25 flashes to make sure you get every hair, but you're doing a quarter, or less, missing parts, and yes you can pulse over the same stubborn spot numerous times, sure the manual says dont do that, but you can, and it will work better on stubborn areas, just common sense dont keep it on until you burn, theres a laser called the soprano ice, does this, it pulses over the same area, and you can do the same with this device.
I used it according to the instructions, which is not leveling up so slowly, and it definitely didn’t make a difference. I’m really glad to hear it worked somewhat well for you though!!
@@KathySanthouse With these home devices the problem is lack of power, so if you mess about as per the guide, which ofcourse is only incase someone has an adverse reaction, which is not you, you need to ramp it up, at its maximum its just enough to get the job done, if you slowly a few mm at a time glide the handset, not lift it, you lose the light, believe it not im quite well educated on ipl, laser, diode, whatever, this is the only home ipl system, branded for home use that i found worked, used every other one, from expensive brauns, to tria x4, they did nothing. but you do not an attachment on this, and you put it on the underarm setting, and dependant on your hormones it will either like me remove hair on 80 percent, the other 20 it does nothing, im a man with stubborn hair, on steroids, if it works on me, then perhaps its back to what i was saying, youre lifting the head which is letting light out, it should not move off the skin, and cover each part a one and half that means half is getting zapped twice, good luck to anyone that takes the time to read this, those that dont, can keep complaining about the device.
And here we go again, blaming the user. Your wrong. I used it EVERY DAY on the HIGHEST SETTING. As of this writing, I have now used TWO similar devices. The results: zilch. I have seen SOME reviews where some ladies have THINNER hair after MONTHS of use, and they give these things 5 stars. No. No way. It's advertised as 'permanent hair removal', not "might thin some of your hair". LOL
@@fattydoodoo5234 If you read the smallprint it does say not suitable for sasquatches, bigfoot, or wookies
This isn't an actual laser hair removal tool. It's a xenon lamp that is intended to burn off the roots of the hairs inside the skin. What I suspect happens is that they are seriously underrunning the xenon lamp in order to get a long life out of it and it doesn't have enough power to really do anything. These lamps typically are only good for around 1000 flashes... so...
That makes sense!
Thats bosidin basically and it works for me
Glad it hear it works for you! Thanks for watching! 💜
what about ulike?
I haven't tried it. Have you?
@@KathySanthouse no and this is why i am confused i really need to buy one but i don’t know what is better
@@arisgrandeurie3606 that’s tricky. I hope you find one that works for you!
You saved me from buying this device, thanks :_)
💜💜💜
I was using the Jovs for three months and got zero results. Some years ago I had another laser epilator that was 4 times cheaper than this one and the results were visible in two weeks. It's a pity that I broke it and the company no longer produce the product. This one looks stylish, but of no use at all.
So frustrating!
What was the cheaper laser epilator that you used?
@@anonymous-xm9lq I'm also curious
@@anonymous-xm9lq which one did you get??
@@GiaDougherty I didn't get one.
It is interesting how folks who are from overseas and have a vested interest in this product are responding to you.
That is interesting!
Huh? What has "overseas" got to do with it, whatever that means? You're probably overseas compared to me
Dang I just bought it 😭
Hopefully it will work for you! 🤞
did it???
Thanks! You just saved me $450 :) great video ❤️
Happy to help! ☺️
Your device is different than the device on amazon and most uyoutuber using
and my manual recommended to use once weekly
there’s something different
Yeah it seems a little sketchy. Do you have this device?
That why you have thin and light hair type. Leser works more better and quicker for dark and thick. It’s will take more time for you to see the results. ❤️
Yeah my hair is definitely dark and thick. 😬
These machines never work. You have to visit an actual beauty salon to actually get this hair removal treatment by a professional. It will cost you around 1,5k for over than 12 months but at least you get the job done. These things take time and each body is different.
They do work but it takes patience. I use the Philips Lumia and it works well
@@LarsRyeJeppesen lucky you!
job me
Blah blah whole video and you never even show the item smh
I posted a separate video of me unboxing it and using it for the first time!
The reason that you didn't get results is that this is an overpriced, under powered unit. The max power of this unit is 15/16 joules cm2 which is simply not strong enough to be effective. There are better units out there that cost less than half of this JOVS unit.
That makes sense - thanks for the thoughts!
@@KathySanthouse Another issue is that the manufacturer provides false and misleading statements in its adverting/marketing material.
For example the latest JOVS H-PRO listed on Amazon states the follows:
6 to 6.5 joules of energy per flash. Yet their FDA K220645 approval for the same item states maximum joule output 5.14 joules
The JOVS X listed on Amazon states the follows:
The JOVS hair removal device 23 Joules (7J/cm²) per shot, yet their FDA K220645 approval for the same item states 18.4 Joules (5.4J/cm²).
The fact that they charge a higher price for the JOVS X, (double that of the JOVS H-PRO), yet it is no better than the JOVS H-PRO in terms of joules output - 0.4 joules higher. Absolute blatant dishonesty.
@@cyri2 so interesting! And sketchy. 🤨
Which machines do you actually recommend? Thanks
@@KathySanthouse I did some testing with a Bosidin which is the same thing. In order to get any results the unit needs to be used of level 6 with either underarm or bikini mode and you have to flash the area 3 times repeatedly in a row before you move on to the next area. This ensures enough energy is being placed in that area and by the third shot you can feel the flash which is what you need. Feeling nothing mean no effect..
Sounds like you’re just lazy! 😂
Everything in life takes time!
😂😂 I gave this way more time to work than the company said it should take. I definitely felt the opposite of lazy using it so often for over an hour at a time. Thanks for watching!!
I've used mine EVERY day for two months: no results. Zero. My wife had no results, either. We sent it back.
And talk about lazy! You have done absolutely nothing with your TH-cam account, except for this post. I find that...interesting to say the least.
...and by "interesting", I mean shady. Represent the company much?
@@fattydoodoo5234 every day? That is not going to work better at all
