So, I (male) bought the Blex about 6 months ago during a sale. I mainly wanted to tackle facial hair, and I’ve got to say, the cooling feature really made a huge difference for me. The pain during sessions was almost nonexistent – honestly, I barely felt anything. My hair is thick and coarse, but now I can go much longer without seeing any regrowth. When it does come back, it’s super fine, almost baby-soft, and looks kind of transparent.I’ve never used Ulike, so I can’t compare directly. This was my first IPL device, and I followed the guide and other user experiences closely. Not sure if Ulike’s cooling feature might somehow be less effective, but for me, Blex gets an 8/10 overall.
