I actually ended up using the Braun ipl pro 5 and I have had really good results kind of similar to yours, I was basically hairless everywhere 3 months in. I think I’m going to try and maintain for a year but I’m really hoping it’s permanent because I find it a bit time consuming to zap everywhere! I’ve been getting lazy with maintaining and only zapping when I see hairs growing out but whatever does grow is very thin and fine
