Where do these figures come from?
Averages, Not Promises
Razor
2.3 times a week
This is the average frequency reported by IFOP for Gillette: 1,728 hours over a lifetime and about 24 razors per year. We estimate €15 per month per area, including shaving foam and soothing cream.
Wax and Epilator
Every 3 to 4 weeks
Strips, wax, and post-waxing products: about €10 per month per area. The real cost is the 3-week waiting period for hair to grow back before each session.

Questions We Are Asked
Before counting, we answer
What if it doesn't work for me?
You have 100 days to try it out for yourself. If you don't see results, we'll take the device back and refund your money. The LOOP has 5 settings to suit every area and sensitivity level.
Does it hurt?
A brief sensation of warmth with each flash, similar to a warm rubber band. Start at level 1 and increase the intensity session by session. The gentle mode is designed for sensitive areas.
How long before I see a difference?
The hair falls out within 10 to 15 days after the session. By week 4, you’ll find yourself shaving less often. Between 8 and 12 weeks, the treated areas will remain smooth for a long time.
You know the number. It's up to you to decide.
A one-time purchase of €89.99, one 20-minute session per week to start, and 100 days to see the results for yourself—with no risk.

Skin preparation
Skin preparation
Shave the area to be treated: Use a clean razor to shave the area you wish to treat. Avoid waxing, as this removes hair at the root, which is counterproductive for pulsed light hair removal.
Clean and dry your skin: Make sure your skin is clean, dry and free from cosmetics, deodorants and other skin care products.
Skin test
