The Bondi Body IPL hair remover has been hailed ‘life changing’ by users for effectively getting rid of unwanted body hair in three months, and works out at just £11 per use
When it comes to unwanted body hair, we all have different ways of tackling it. Whether you shave, wax, epilate or laser it off, there’s no denying that maintenance is a lengthy, time consuming process.
So imagine how much easier upkeep would be if there was something that not only got rid of your hair, but actually prevented it from growing back? Well that’s why shoppers have been praising the Bondi Body V2 Laser at Home IPL Hair Removal Device, which they’ve hailed as “life changing” for reducing hair growth and preventing stubble from appearing.

The Bondi Body IPL Device is priced at £299, however you can currently save £40 on your order by using the code FORTY when you check out, slashing the price to £259. For your face, neck, and intimate areas, the Bondi Body site recommends using it once a week for 12 weeks initially, then once a month after that to remove any new growth. For areas like legs, arms, underarms, stomach, chest, and back it’s safe to use up to twice a week.
That means if you only use it once a week for the suggested 12 weeks at £259, it works out at around £21.58 per session. However if you use it twice a week for 12 weeks, that works out at just £10.79 per use. When compared to in-clinic IPL sessions, which can cost £80 to £200 per session, you’ll be saving at least £70 per session by doing it yourself at home.
The IPL device works by permanently reducing unwanted hair by using three second light flashes to target the root of your hairs, getting rid of them and affecting how quickly it grows back. As well as target hair growth, it also helps reduce skin pigmentation, sun spots and broken capilliaries, helping create smooth, clear and flawless skin ready for the summer.
There’s eight different intensity settings to choose from so you can alter it depending on which area you’re tackling, and the whole experience should be quick and painless. It’s worth noting that, like many IPL devices, the Bondi Body one doesn’t work on blonde, ginger or grey hairs, and isn’t effective when used on darker skin tones, as the light needs to be able to identify your hair’s contrasting colours to work.
Over at Boots there’s also a huge range of IPL devices available from brands like Philips, Braun and Silk’n available, with many of them also enjoying huge discounts right now. You can also save big on the Philips Lumea IPL Hair Removal 8000 Series, which has been slashed from £449.99 to £329.99, saving you £120.
However the Bondi Body IPL Device comes very highly recommended by shoppers, with one reviewer writing: “Having shaved virtually EVERY DAY since the age of 17 (I hate stubble) this has changed my life!! After 5 sessions the hair is growing back so thin and soft that it’s not even noticeable – I’m so impressed and so happy my skin is getting a break as well. Plus my showers now only take minutes and as a busy mum of two under 3, every spare minute is priceless!”
Another agreed: “I’m amazed at how smooth my skin feels after using the Bondi V2. The hair reduction is noticeable, and the device is super easy to use. Highly recommended!”
However one found it less effective, saying: “I really wanted to love this product and always saw so many positive reviews. I have been trying it on one leg, my stomach and facial area. Unfortunately my legs look no different to each other still after 5 weeks the only area slightly improved is my upper lip area. Im happy to continue to try! The 6 to 8 level is also hotter than I had expected so be aware of this when using it.”
Others however have been delighted by the results, writing: “Seems to be working well, hair definitely reducing,” and: “After just a few weeks of use, the results are already visible. The different intensity settings are great for targeting specific areas. Love it!”
