Foreo Peach 2 IPL Hair Removal Device

If you choose to remove body hair the most common method is either shaving, which comes back as rough and uncomfortable stubble, not to mention razor burn and the odd nick here and there. The there’s waxing which creates a softer regrowth, but wow does it hurt. The Peach 2 IPL Hair Removal Device is a totally different system and claims to be the fastest, simplest and most effective way to remove unwanted hair, long-term.

IPL stands for intense pulsed light, IPL hair removal works by emitting a broad spectrum of light that targets the melanin in the hair follicle, the absorbed light energy is converted to heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which disables the hair follicle. Treated hairs naturally fall out over the course of a few days to 1-2 weeks. The Peach 2 also uses T-Sonic technology that massages the skin and aids in the penetration of light pulses to the hair follicles. It temporarily widens the pores, reducing obstruction and making it easier for the light pulses to reach the follicles.

As IPL technology focuses on melanin in the hair and skin it means it can be ineffective for users with light hair, and unsafe for users with deep skin tones. The Bundle comes with a Cooling Prep Gel and has a built-in skin cooling system that blows cool air onto skin as you’re treating it, ensures a painless experience. It has been created with a larger treatment window for faster application, it is three times larger than competitors, covering three times the skin area at one time.

The Peach is easy to use, it does still involve shaving all visible hair from the area you wish to treat, then apply the Cooling Gel and massage it in, next select the preferred setting via the app (this is just for the first use) then adjust the IPL intensity by pressing the + and – buttons on the device. Finally place the treatment window firmly on skinand press and hold the flash button while gliding on skin, for small areas, press and immediately release the flash button, you can have a full body treatment in just 10 minutes. Yes the Peach is pricey but the idea is with the right skin tone and hair colour this will be a one time investment, it can be used on the face and body, there are just two modes to choose from for larger or more precise areas. There are no detachable heads to fuss about with and just five intensities for different skin sensitivities, the self-adjusting head naturally follows the curves of your body. The skin safe sensor will only activate when the treatment window is in full contact with skin, and the app will teach how to use the Peach safely and also give you treatment reminders to get the most out of the device.

The Peach 2 is an easy and comfortable hair removal tool that can permanently remove hair, if the skin and hair criteria are met, a pricey initial investment but if I could mean ditching the razor permanently it is worth a go. RRP £369
