How to Be Stubble Free
A few months ago I talked to you about how to join the #NoShaveWave by using the Silk’n Flash & Go Express (see my previous post here) to help remove unwanted hair at home. Since then, I’ve been using the Silk’n Flash & Go Express for a few months and I really love it.
How the Silk’n Flash & Go Express Works
This chic device lets you have a luxury spa treatment in the comfort and privacy of your own home. The Silk’n Flash & Go Express works by targeting the melanin pigment in hair and it emits a pulse of energy (HPL), which the hair absorbs. This prevents future growth. So some hair won’t grow back at all, and other hair will come back thinner. If you keep up with the treatments, eventually your hair will cease to grow.
I really love the exquisite purple and white design. It’s very lightweight and with the large treatment area, you can get through your under arms or legs in no time. It’s even easy to use on the face if you have stray hairs there that you want removed. Just make sure you press it flat against the skin, with no corner peeking up.
Before you begin, make sure you shave (don’t pluck!) your hair. Then use the skin color sensor safety feature embedded in the Flash & Go Express to make sure it will work for your skintone. If the device detects that the skin color is too dark to work, it will not emit a pulse of light. People with darker skin should try the lowest setting and be aware that it will take more treatments to see results. If you have blonde, red, white or grey hair, the device may be less effective. It works best on people with lighter skin and dark hair.
It’s best to wait until you’re off your period to use the Flash & Go Express, as your skin may be more sensitive than usual. As someone with very sensitive skin, I always have to use devices like this on the lowest setting. I have to skip the time around my period as I’m too sensitive to use it.
My Silk’n Flash & Go Express Results
I’ve been using the Flash & Go Express on some stray hair on my upper torso, my under arms, and my legs. I’ve seen the hair thin significantly in all places (see my leg above) and in some places completely disappear. It really is helping me to be stubble free because the hair that I have left is very thin and less grows back each time I use it. I wish I could use it on a higher setting to make it go faster! I’m a near perfect candidate for this device because I have light skin and dark hair. I just wish my skin wasn’t sensitive!
I really love how easy the Flash & Go Express is to use. It’s a super lightweight beautiful technology, especially compared to previous HPL devices that I’ve tried. It plugs in to the wall with a long cord, so I never have to worry about charging it. I can use it in my living room while watching TV or in the privacy of my bathroom.

This looks great! Definitely worth a try!
Wow this is great! I would love to try this.
I think you’d like it!
Okay, this makes me nervous (it looks like an epilator and those KILL me) but I’d be open to it for under my arms. Mmm…
Epilators pull out the hair right? This you have to shave first, then you use it on your skin and it zaps the hair at the base.
I am so interested in this gadget. It sounds like a really great option.
I think it is!
I had something like this once! I am not patient enough for these things.
Yes, you have to be patient with at home treatments.
I have something like this from SilkN – the Veet. I love it… such a great buy.
So glad you love it!
You can really see it work!
I was seriously impressed at how some of the hair on my leg has stopped growing.
I HATE stubble!!! I hate when I shave and the next day I already have dark stubble showing through. It sucks!
Oh man, that sucks!
I want to give this a try. I would love to get rid of shaving.
I think you would love it!
This would be perfect for me! I have such fair skin. Definitely going to check it out
It should work perfectly for you!
I’ve been using a similar device from Philips since last December, and am wowed by the results.
So glad to hear it 🙂
I think I might just be a candidate! If so, I would LOVE to try it!
I think it would work on you!
I’m guessing that since it targets melanin, it wouldn’t be useful for someone with freckles.
I’m not sure. I think it would depend on how dark the freckles are. It’s meant to work on light and medium skintones.
Yeah, I do have a light skin tone, but freckles too. They often go together. I suppose it’s best if I ask the company directly.
Definitely! They may also have a guide up on their site.
In case anyone comes along later and wonders, I could find no mention of freckles or if it works on freckled skin on their website.
Definitely send them an email. I know that there is a sensor built in so that if the skin in the area you want to target is too dark, it will not work.
This is a nice alternative to laser treatment although if you want permanent hair reduction you really have to invest on laser txs
I’ve heard that you need maintenance treatments for sure!
Sounds great!
I’m really thrilled with it.
I am dying to try this device!! That’s awesome you have kept up with it, and are seeing great results!
You will love it!
My leg hair has all moved up to my face. I have to shave my legs so infrequently. I need things that work for the face though.
This works on the face! From the cheekbones down, you can use it on your face.
My hairy self soooo needs this!
You will love the results!
This sounds very promising!
It’s been working very well for me.
This sounds fantastic. I should check it out!
I think you’ll love it!
I love at-home lasers like that, they take forever to deliver results but in the end the effort is so worth it!
I feel like this one is much faster than the previous at-home laser I used.
I need a face version to use instead of an epilator. Heading to the website to see if they have one.
This one works on the face!
I have a bigger version and LOVE it!! Works soooo good!!!
In this case, bigger is better 🙂
